Project management is about knowing exactly what

your goals are, how you’re going to achieve them,
what resources you’ll need, and how long it will take
you to reach that specific goal. In fact, project
management’s goal is to make sure that everyone
involved in a project knows these and is aware of the
purpose of the project.

 Project Management in
Interior Design
Interior design project manager who is hired either by a client or architecture firm that works as a
primary designer solo or in conjunction with the architect in designing spaces that meet the clients needs
and budgets in a functional and aesthetically pleasing way.

The interior design project manager is contracted at the beginning of the project or in the pre‐ design
phase to collaborate ideas of design with the architect and client in an integrative team fashion.
He or she now adds value to the client’s real estate as well as to their organization under design/study.

Interior design project managers’ roles may vary from project to project, but an outline of these roles can
consist of overseeing the architectural design and construction efforts of involved parties and trades,
conducting market research and managing design reviews via planning meetings (Guzman, 2010)

The interior design project manager’s role within the design of a commercial building structure can be of
great importance for a client to achieve their desired design objectives and functions during the initiative
development phases and throughout the completion of the processes and phases of a project.

and money by providing design solutions prior to their
