EVERY PROJECT STARTS WITH DESIGN
text
What interior design covers here
Interior design for Denver-metro homes and light commercial spaces typically includes space planning, finish selection, fixture and furnishing direction, and coordination documents that construction teams can build from. Projects often span kitchens, baths, basements, living areas, and office tenant interiors. A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates construction that follows design intent and brings in licensed specialty trades when plumbing, electrical, or mechanical work is required. Cost is project-specific and depends on scope, finish level, and whether construction is included.
The build sequence for a Interior Design project
Every project starts with a feasibility study; this trade is priced from the same assemblies.

Design decisions that affect permits
Moving walls, relocating plumbing fixtures, adding circuits, or changing mechanical routes turns a finish refresh into permitted construction. Cosmetic finish changes that do not alter structure or building systems are less likely to need a building permit, but the construction scope—not the design drawings alone—determines CPD requirements inside Denver.
text
Permits and who coordinates the work
Design services themselves are not a City and County of Denver building permit. When construction proceeds, Community Planning and Development reviews and inspects regulated work through e-permits. Cities and counties license general contractors. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license. Autotelic acts as a municipally licensed Denver general contractor and coordinates licensed specialty trades for the build package tied to the design.

What buyers should lock early
Priorities for layout, storage, lighting, and durability; must-keep items; and whether the project is design-only or design through construction. Finish lead times and appliance models should be decided before ordering long-lead cabinetry or millwork.
FAQ
Common questions
How much does Whole-Home Renovation Design Consultation cost?
$350.
How do I book?
Press Book next to the job, pick a date and a morning (8–12) or afternoon (12–4) window, and pay in full. We confirm within 24 hours or refund you in full.
Does hiring an interior designer require a Denver building permit?
No. Permits apply to construction work that alters structure or building systems. CPD is the building-permit authority inside Denver when that construction begins.
Who handles permits and licensing when design becomes a remodel?
A municipally licensed Denver general contractor coordinates the project and the licensed specialty trades required for regulated work. Colorado has no statewide general contractor license.
Can design and construction be under one team?
Yes. Design-build coordination keeps finish decisions aligned with rough-in, inspections, and schedule. Confirm who holds each contract and who pulls permits.
What should be decided before ordering finishes?
Final layout, appliance models, lighting plan, and primary finish materials. Late changes after orders often extend lead times.
What information helps define an accurate interior design scope?
Photos or plans, rooms in scope, must-keep items, functional priorities, and whether construction permitting will be needed in your city or county.

DESIGN SERVICES
Discovery & Site Analysis
Needs + preference programming, site survey, as-built documentation, feasibility.
We walk, measure, and photograph your property — existing conditions, utilities, structure, and constraints. You get the as-built documentation and feasibility read that every later decision rests on.
Learn more →Concept Design & Space Planning
Schematic design, floor plan studies, layout options.
Your scope becomes schematic floor plans you can compare side by side — circulation, daylight, adjacencies, and what each option does to the budget. Layout decisions happen on paper, where changes are cheap.
Learn more →Architectural Design & 3D Renderings
Design development, materials + finishes, photorealistic visualization.
The chosen concept resolves into materials, finishes, fixtures, and lighting — with the automation layer drawn in. Photorealistic renderings let you walk the space and adjust before anything is priced.
Learn more →Construction Documents & Permitting
Full CD sets, structural + MEP engineering coordination, permit-ready drawings.
Approved designs become coordinated architectural, structural, and MEP sheets — the set your jurisdiction permits from and trades build from. We submit, track, and answer review comments.
