The Benefits of a Full-Service Architecture and Interior Design Agency

In need of help with a residential or commercial property?

Whether a new build or a renovation, an architecture and interior design project can be daunting to clients! And for good reason. Building or renovating is a big task! And it’s hard to know where to start.

We got you covered! A great first place to start is hiring an expert. But when you are choosing an architecture and interior design firm, the options can seem overwhelming. There are a lot of agencies out there offering a variety of services. A million questions might be running through your head… What services do I need? What does “full-service” mean? Do I need full service? Could I just piece it all together on my own?

As far as we see it, there is tremendous value in hiring a full-service agency. And no, we aren’t just saying that because we are a full-service agency. We really believe it! Full-service, in short, means being capable of handling ALL aspects of the project. From true beginning to truly the end. Project management occurs throughout the entire process ensuring that the client truly reaps the benefits of a full-service agency.

Speaking of benefits, what upside can you expect from choosing a full-service team? Well, come on, we’ll show you!

Higher Levels of Trust

Any time you start a project, you are looking to build a relationship with the team you hire. Both parties are evaluating each other and ideally want to build trust throughout the course of the project. When you work with a full-service agency, the relationship and trust are established up front and then intact the entire length of the project. There is no changeover between teams which means no need to re-establish relationships along the way. This also leads to a higher level of trust! The longer you work with someone, the better both parties understand and work together. For us at BPC®, we fully integrate our clients into our family and will stay connected long after the work is done!

Integrated Project Delivery

Another element of hiring a full-service agency is the cohesion it will provide. Leveraging a single agency ensures consistency between all design elements - after all, there is no transitioning between design teams throughout the length of the project. This consistency will stretch across exterior landscaping, architecture, interior design, and furniture procurement of finishing touches, just to name a few! Communication and management are two additional areas of a project that benefit from a full-service agency. Having a core team manage the entire project can result in better customer service and experience. A full-service team also eliminates the headaches of coordinating multiple vendor contracts and logistics.

Higher Levels of Project Satisfaction

The biggest upside of using a full-service team to complete your project? You will overall be more satisfied with the project. Full-service project management generally results in:

Better bundled prices for services
Better aligned goals and priorities
Better allocation of budget and financial accountability
Quicker feedback and turnaround time
Clear understanding of the client
Reduced time and frustration

These elements are typically directly linked to client satisfaction. We touched on it before, but hiring a team that takes the time to fully understand your wants and needs, and create a relationship with you, will positively impact all elements of the project. When you are hiring an architecture and interior design team, it should be MORE than transactional.
