The Heller Construction building & interior design team emphasizes the importance of sustainable product specification and building practices, and want to be sure that the homes that they create are able to sustain their clients’ ways of life. As part of this team, the role of the interior designer is as a facilitator who translates clients’ wants and needs into a functional and aesthetically pleasing design vision, who then communicates this information to the builder and the various trade professionals working on the project so that they have the information that they need to do their best work.
