Interior Design Project Management in COLORADO AND MAUI

When you’re building or renovating a residential or commercial space, design is only part of the equation, execution affects everything. This is where Studio Lea’s interior design project management services can provide aid to both our clients and the builders/contractors we work with. As a full-service interior design firm, we don’t just design beautiful spaces; we manage the full spectrum of your project from concept to completion. This includes planning, procurement, scheduling, builder/contractor coordination and on-site meetings.

Operating out of both Colorado and Maui, we are familiar with the challenges of regional construction, from material lead times on Maui to the permitting complexities of Colorado. Our team anticipates roadblocks, communicates clearly, and makes decisions in real time, so your project stays aligned with your goals and timelines.

Project management at Studio Lea isn’t just about tracking timelines—it’s about bringing order, precision and calm to a complex process. From day one, we establish a structure that keeps your new build or renovation aligned with your goals, your budget and your life.

Our interior design project management services include, but are not limited to:

  • Oversight from concept through completion

  • Budget development and time management

  • Coordination with trades and vendors

  • On-site walkthroughs and punch lists

  • Ordering, tracking and procurement support

our project management system

We oversee your project from concept to completion, starting preferably as early as pre-construction and staying involved until the last pillow is fluffed. We coordinate closely with your architect, builder/contractor and trades to ensure the original design vision holds true through every project phase.

Our team can aid in and help manage your budget with transparency and realism. We help you understand where to invest, where to save and what to expect. Pricing isn’t static, especially in regions like Hawaii and Colorado where availability and logistics fluctuate.

Studio Lea thrives on vendor and trade collaboration. We speak the language of both design and construction, which means we bridge the communication gap between creative intent and physical reality. We coordinate with fabricators, custom millworkers, installers, lighting vendors and local artisans to ensure each player knows when, where and how to show up.

Through on-site walkthroughs, we monitor progress, catch discrepancies early and manage the punch list with precision. We know what to look for and when to raise a flag, because by the time you see an issue, it's often too late. Our presence ensures alignment, quality control and fewer delays.

We also handle ordering and procurement for all design-related items. That means tracking lead times, coordinating deliveries, verifying specifications, managing replacements and ensuring the right pieces land in the right room. You won’t be left calling freight companies, sorting through tracking spreadsheets or handling damaged items. We take that off your plate entirely.

Tailored Oversight for Colorado AND maui Projects

No two regions are alike, and managing a project on Maui requires an entirely different rhythm than one in the Rockies. In Maui, we navigate everything from humidity-sensitive finishes to container schedules and the infamous limited local availability. We plan ahead, source wisely and communicate often even on island time.

In Colorado, we deal with tight seasonal construction windows, quality builder/contractor demand and complex architectural plans in high-altitude and low humidity environments. Our familiarity with local crews, codes and environmental considerations gives us a tactical advantage.

The Studio Lea Approach to Project Management

Our project management process isn’t templated. It’s built around your specific needs, your builder’s preferences and your project’s scale. We start by mapping out the full project arc, establishing key milestones, design sign-offs and procurement windows. Every step is documented, tracked and communicated with intention.

We serve as a point of contact for your contractors and trades, so decisions are made efficiently and documented clearly. If a material arrives damaged or a finish is discontinued, we’re already working on solutions before you even know there’s a problem. This is hands-on, design-informed management, not just spreadsheet oversight.

More importantly, we stay involved until the final detail is placed. Whether it's an on-site styling day in Denver or a final walk-through in Wailea, we’re there to ensure everything lives up to the vision we created together.

Our clients are never looking for cookie-cutter results. They are typically busy professionals, second-homeowners and families balancing multiple priorities. They don’t have time to chase subcontractors or babysit timelines. They want a partner who sees the entire backgammon board and knows how to expertly plan ahead and move the pieces.

This is what we offer at Studio Lea: full accountability, creative problem-solving, and a process that honors your investment and your time.

Built to meet client expectations

We manage everything from ideation to install, ensuring that no stone is left unturned. However, will there be road blocks, a delay or two or perhaps a damaged fixture? Unfortunately, it is possible and the nature of this complex industry, even with the best laid plans. We are here and prepared to handle any mishap, big or small, with poise and speed. Our team is in touch with vendors, trades and your build team regularly to anticipate issues before they arise, or deal with schedule conflicts such as a backordered or discontinued material selection.

We are here for you, paying attention to every step during every stage of your project and sharing status updates along the way.
