Did You Know?

According to homeowners, one of the most stressful parts of building a custom home is the design decision-making process.

More than 250 hours of time goes into the legwork of making all these decisions and providing the necessary information to the builder so the details can be executed properly.

7-10+ hours a week are needed to dedicate to this process to meet the anticipated deadlines during a custom home build.

Most homeowners don’t have any formal or informal design training.

MDH Interior designers can take the majority of the work and time commitment off of the homeowner’s hands, leading to a much less stressful experience.

Using MDH designers gets you the best discounted prices on materials, utilizing our builder’s discount with no kickbacks–where some outside design firms do receive kickbacks.

MDH designers come at a fraction of the cost of an outside design firm.

Not using an interior designer could actually cost you more money than you might pay for their services.

After initial decisions are made, there are many more hours behind the scenes drawing & documenting the information properly so it can be used by the construction team.

At Marc David Homes, interior design isn’t an afterthought—it’s an integral part of building a home that’s truly yours. Let’s bring your vision to life with a seamless, personalized design experience.
