Interior Designer / FF&E + Finish CDs — 4-Unit Gut Reno (Architect Already Engaged)

Posted 5 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

I'm a developer running a 4-unit residential gut renovation (interior + exterior scope) in Jersey City, NJ. The architect of record is engaged and producing the permit/structural CD set. I need an interior designer to own the finish-level design and documentation that layers on top. This is an execution role, not a blank-canvas role. The structural decisions are largely made. I need someone who designs to budget, documents precisely, and ships on schedule. Scope of deliverables: Finish plans + finish schedules (flooring, tile, paint, wall treatments) — per unit and common areas Decorative lighting layout / RCP, coordinated into the architect's electrical set before MEP rough-in Millwork & casework elevations + details (kitchens, vanities, built-ins, closets) at fabrication-ready scale Tile setting-out / layout drawings for wet areas Plumbing fixture + hardware specs and locations FF&E schedule (manufacturer, model, dimensions, finish, qty, lead time, allowance) — purchase-ready Exterior finish direction (façade materials, color, entry, lighting) How I work: I work from the architect's CAD backgrounds as the governing base — no independently redrawn dimensions. Designs are built to a per-category budget allowance. Renders are for intent; the schedule is the deliverable. Millwork drawings need to be detailed enough to quote and fabricate from — several vendors are overseas, so the drawings have to stand on their own. I expect a defined deliverables list with dates, staged milestones, and clear payment gates tied to delivery. You're a fit if you: Have done multi-unit residential or full gut renos, not just single-room staging Can produce a real FF&E schedule and millwork CDs (please share samples of both) Are comfortable coordinating with an architect of record and overseas vendors Move quickly and hit committed dates To apply, send: A finish CD set and an FF&E schedule from a past project (samples required — applications without them won't be reviewed) Your typical turnaround for a deliverable package this size Your rate structure (hourly vs. fixed per phase) and earliest start date One sentence on how you keep finish drawings coordinated with an architect's permit set Start is immediate for the right person. I value speed and precision equally—tell me how you deliver both.
