For Partners
You meet owners at the moment the decision gets made.
Often the residence has no plan, and the money gets spent anyway. IDist writes the interior design plan: the whole residence, up to eight rooms, room by room in the order the work should happen, with pieces named, the reason each one belongs, and a retail estimate. We write the plan. We do not sell the execution.
For brokers
A residence that explains itself.
What the residence is, what the building will allow, and the order the work should happen in, written before a buyer asks. The record transfers with the property.
For architects
The interior specification, written.
Every room measured, every piece named with the reason it belongs, in the sequence the work has to follow. Yours to price and build against.
For estate attorneys
A dated record of what the residence holds.
Improvements and assets kept distinct, each fact carrying who established it and when. Dated, and shareable on the owner's terms.
Where it comes up
The residence with no plan behind it.
- Designers and architects: a client whose scope does not justify your engagement, or one who wants to move slowly across years rather than commit to a full project now.
- Contractors: you are asked what to do in a room nobody has planned, and once a wall is closed, changing the bathroom hardware means opening it again.
- Brokers: a seller about to spend on the wrong things before listing, or a buyer who has just closed and has no idea what the residence wants to become.
- Building managers: residents ask you for recommendations you cannot fully stand behind.
- CPAs, estate attorneys, and insurance brokers: you work with owners at filings, transfers, and schedule reviews, and a residence with a written plan is one someone has already thought about.
How it works
Your client keeps you.
- The engagement is direct between the owner and IDist. Your relationship with your client stays yours, and your fees stay yours.
- The plan names you as the person to execute any part of it.
- We do not order and we do not manage the work, so nothing in the plan depends on what the owner buys or who they buy it from.
- The plan names retail estimates and never trade pricing.
- The Record is the owner's to keep, whether or not they renew.
Afterward
Three things an owner does with the plan.
- Take the plan to their own architect, designer, or contractor, which may well be you, and execute it themselves.
- Take it to us, and we run the project and the ordering under a separate engagement.
- Take one section of it and leave the rest.
