"I am typically the only woman on the jobsite, to say that this has been a challenge would be an understatement! Over the years I've managed to cobble together my own standard operating procedures and carve out a niche and method of working with contractors and crews to achieve a level of success, but it hasn't been easy and I've often found myself wishing there was a teacher or a book that I could reference to make sure that I was doing things at the highest industry standard and charging what I was worth. I was thrilled when I found this course, as it ticked all of those boxes-and more. It has given me the guidance that I've been looking for, new insights into construction management best practices, and a stronger belief in myself when making the tough calls. Finally, Renee is not just talking the talk but walking the walk; if you have any questions or comments she is responsive and supportive. I've taken lots of courses over the years, and this one has truly been some of the best money I've ever spent on my continuing education as a designer!"

-Britta Butler

Raise your hand if any of these describe you:

  • You are incredibly talented with design but have no clue how to manage a construction project
  • You are worried you’re not maximizing the profitability of your construction management services
  • You are intimidated and overwhelmed on job sites and feel like you are pretending to be prepared
  • You know you can do this but can’t find the right guidance to help you get to the next level

I have been in this same place and I promise you
there is a better way.

Raise your hand if any of these describe you:

  • You are incredibly talented with design but have no clue how to manage a construction project
  • You are making little-to-no profit on design-only projects and feel exhausted and stuck
  • You are intimidated and overwhelmed on job sites and feel like you are pretending to be prepared
  • You know you can do this but can’t find the right guidance to help you get to the next level

I have been in this same place and I promise you there is a better way.

The better way means MORE.

 More time-freedom, more money, more confidence, more clarity……

 …..and most importantly, more JOY in building an interior design business that allows you to work with amazing clients on beautiful projects.

 You just need a step-by-step proven blueprint to guide you, skipping the pain (and about three years of struggle) of trying to figure this all out on your own.

And you need guidance and support along the way.

Renee’s course is a no-brainer for anyone new to the construction side of design. The program was just what I needed when those sneaky voices of self-doubt were speaking. Renee’s program was just what I needed to remind me that I am the professional my clients know I am.”

Ali Reuter

“Not only have I been able to utilize the knowledge in interacting with my clients positively, but I have also been able to educate my contractors in the process of a project and especially in closing a project well. This course has opened my eyes to construction management and an entire opportunity for work I was not capitalizing on.”

Dusti Jones

"You’re just amazing and I got so much out of calls with you - you’re very giving and easy to talk with - you’re like another designer friend who has a lot of experience who is willing to share all of it with us so that we don’t make the same mistakes you made."

Katie Rainey

"Renee emphasizes and reminds us we are a part of a team. Respecting all the trades and valuing everyone, especially yourself and where we fit in the equation as designers. This is an attitude of humility that allows everyone on the team to feel comfortable and share what is needed to move toward the common goal, a delighted client."

"This course gave me more than just a list of what to do. Renee gave real examples and actually taught me how to do each step. I can confidently speak of my value during a remodel and how I work with contractors during the process. I have had contractors tell me already, ‘WOW you can help with that too’?!!”

"I want to tell you that this is the best course I've ever taken. I'm kind of a course addict. I've invested a lot over the years because I believe a business can always be improved and I know that I don't know it all. While I always learn something, I'm often disappointed. Many course are very conceptual and don't dive into the actual execution. Your course does both. I understand the concepts but you give actual application steps and insight. Also, the structure is perfect. Each module is the perfect length. I can tackle 1 or 2 if I don't have much time, or I can do a deep dive and cover an entire section."
