Managing
an
interior
design
project
requires
as
much
creative
thought-
fulness
as
the
design
itself,
and
the
best
projects
begin
with
a
carefully
planned
project
schedule.
Typically,
a
project
process
is
broken
down
into
distinct
phases
to
establish
decision-making
milestones,
both
within
the
design
team
and
with
the
client.
At
the
beginning
of
the
design
process,
innumerable
options
present
themselves,
but
as
the
design
progresses,
the
number
of
options
gradually
reduces
as
the
project
gels
around
spe-
cific
themes
and
configurations.
Drawings
are
the
primary
format
through
which
design
choices
are
explored
and
communicated.
The
mode
of
drawing
changes
as
the
project
is
refined
and
finessed.
At
the
beginning
of
the
design,
freehand
sketches
are
the
best
way
to
test
concepts,
while
later
in
the
process,
computer-aided
design
(CAD)
is
necessary
to
fine-tune
dimensional
decisions
and
coordinate
with
consulting
engineers.
New
technologies
are
making
it
easier
to
explore
design
concepts
in
three
dimensions
at
several
stages
of
the
design
process.
