The Laurie DiGiacomo Interiors Experience…A Series: Phase 3, The Purchasing & Implementation Phase.
And to close out our design phase series…Phase 3. So, what is the Purchasing & Implementation phase?
Let’s do a deep dive into the longest phase in our unique design process. This is both the most exciting and most frustrating phase in the design process. This is where we purchase and place orders for all of your beautiful items, which is exciting! But this is also the part where our clients have to wait for the furniture and decor to arrive, which can be frustrating. But ALAS, that magical day when your furniture finally arrives and is expertly placed and arranged is just so exciting…..like being a kid on Christmas morning, but BETTER!
How long does this phase take? Well, the Purchasing and Implementation Phase of our luxury interior design services is time dependent on the scope of the project. If we are doing a renovation, it is also dependent on the contractor’s schedule.
This phase includes:
- Placing orders & assessing delivery times

- Clarify and communicate estimated delivery times
- Manage open orders by efficiently tracking goods
