For Builders, Contractors & Architects

Empower the Build. Never Overstep.

Pre-Construction · Site Support · Turnkey Handover

A custom residence reaches its full potential when the architect, the builder and the interior designer work in alignment. Haus Interiors joins at pre-construction to translate the architectural plans into construction-ready interior specifications, supports your site team during the build, and delivers a move-in-ready handover, while the builder keeps full authority on site.

Construction-ready CAD drawing sets for sub-trades

Millwork elevations, reflected ceiling plans & electrical locations

Finish & MEP specifications locked before framing

A single point of contact for interior RFIs

Milestone walkthroughs to verify rough-ins

Parallel procurement & secure local warehousing

White-glove furnishing after builder handover

Key point: we ideally join at the schematic architecture stage, before plans are signed off and tenders are issued.

The Tri-Party Synergy

Three Disciplines, One Vision

When the architect, builder and interior designer collaborate from pre-construction, design intent is preserved, hard costs are locked and site friction disappears.

The Architect

Structure & Volume

Establishes the architectural form, site orientation and proportion. We honour that intent, translating floor plans into cohesive, detailed interiors without compromising the architectural narrative.

The Builder

Realization & Precision

Turns blueprints into reality through craftsmanship, scheduling and site logistics. We lock in finish schedules, millwork CADs and MEP specifications before framing, shielding superintendents from selection delays and mid-build RFIs.

HAUS Interiors

Human Scale & Turnkey Living

Refines the sensory experience inside the architectural shell. We take full ownership of the interior scope, from detailing and custom millwork to trade-portal procurement and white-glove furnishing.

The result for your client: an uncompromised home, delivered with complete operational clarity.

The Collaborative Workflow

Who Leads Each Stage

Our framework clearly defines who leads each phase, so the architect's plans are preserved, the builder's cost schedule is locked and the client moves in seamlessly.

Stage 01 · Architect leads
Stage 02 · Builder & client lead
Stage 03 · Builder on site
Stage 04 · HAUS after handover
Architectural Alignment
We review spatial flow and furniture layouts with the client, then return refined requests such as lighting and electrical placement before the blueprint set is finalized.
Specification & Costing
We deliver complete interior selection schedules so the builder can finalize the cost schedule and start construction with no specification delays.
Parallel Procurement
While the builder drives the site, we source and warehouse furnishings, verify rough-ins against our CADs and resolve interior RFIs quickly.
Installation & Reveal
Once the builder completes the punch list and hands over the keys, we deliver white-glove furnishing, window treatments, styling and the final reveal.

The 10-Step Roadmap

Built to Protect the Build Schedule

Steps one to seven are completed before groundbreaking, so the builder receives every interior specification before framing, with no mid-build allowances or selection delays.

A Fee Structure Built for Collaboration

Because the builder supplies the structural labour and core materials, our fees apply only to the interior scope, and never touch your structural build costs. There is no variable hourly billing.

Phase 01

Project Initiation

A discovery call followed by a two-hour working session on site or at the studio with the client, builder and architect ($500 plus GST).

Phase 02

Design & Specification

A fixed fee based on square footage for complete CAD and specification packages, delivered to the builder to lock in hard costs.

Phase 03

Build Advisory

A flat monthly retainer during active construction, covering milestone walkthroughs, builder RFIs and sub-trade meetings, sized to the construction timeline.

Phase 04

Turnkey Furnishing

A sliding-scale fee applied only to the furniture, decor and feature lighting managed through Haus Interiors, covering procurement, warehousing and the white-glove reveal.

You receive continuous design advocacy, and the builder receives zero specification friction.

Builder & Architect Questions

Architectural alignment and operational clarity for custom builders, contractors and architects.

The General Contractor keeps full authority over the job site. We complete interior selections and drawing packages before framing, provide advisory support during construction, and handle furnishing only after the builder's official handover.

Ideally at the schematic architecture stage, before plans are signed off and tenders are issued. That way electrical placements, millwork details and plumbing rough-ins are built into the final blueprint set, and the builder can lock in hard-cost tenders without provisional allowances.

Our fees apply only to the interior scope: a project initiation session, a fixed design and specification fee based on square footage, a flat monthly build advisory retainer during construction, and a sliding-scale fee on furniture, decor and feature lighting managed through Haus Interiors. We never bill hourly and never touch the structural build costs.

Complete CAD packages: furniture layouts, custom millwork elevations, reflected ceiling plans, electrical locations, hard-surface selection schedules, 3D renders and trade cut sheets, all issued for builder sign-off before framing.

We source in parallel during framing, consolidate shipments in secure local storage and deliver only after the builder completes the punch list. This keeps the site clear and protects finished surfaces.

Through a formal change order protocol. Each change is reviewed against hard costs, lead times and the build schedule, and the General Contractor agrees to any scope or timeline adjustment before work proceeds on site.

Yes. We review schematic plans with the architect to refine interior layouts and reflected ceiling plans, preserving the architectural intent while making the interiors work at human scale.
