OUR PROCESS MAKES THE DIFFERENCE.
At CI DESIGN + BUILD, we want our clients to be more than just happy with the end result. Our process allows clients to enjoy the renovation process from concept to completion. Compared to the traditional design/bid timeline, our clients have a streamlined experience taking the pressure of the project off their shoulders. The budget is establisthed earlier: the design team collaborates with the consturction team to determine the project details, schedule and costs with the client. Our desgin team understand the clients’ needs and style, communicated their plans to the project managers to understand the scope and timing. The project managers review all plans, identifying the best vendors for each project, and share details with our in-house specialty craftsmen.

Our skilled artisans and craftspeople are chosen for their commitment to perfection, and they work hand in hand with our design team from the very beginning of each project.

Furnishings
Your home should be harmonious. CIDB’s concept-to-completion service allows us to design your interior spaces holistically, keeping your furnishings in tune with the architecture—and your lifestyle. We consider the aesthetic, scale, function and placement of furniture and accessories from the earliest stages of design. This way, your must-keep pieces perfectly complement our fresh finds in a comfortable, cohesive way.
Art Curation
Our turnkey design solutions include incorporating carefully curated fine art pieces into our clients’ homes to create a coordinated, truly bespoke living environment. CI Design + Build has partnered with Dallas-based Samuel Lynne Galleries to bring a satellite gallery into our Chicago showroom, and introduced cutting-edge digital fine art into our repertoire with Apollo displays. Apollo allows clients to digitally rotate their art offerings with ease through a proprietary app, creating a gallery in their own home.
Development
Discerning clients in the luxury market expect top-tier homes but don’t always have the time to invest in shopping the market or hiring the architect, designers and contractors to renovate. CI’s innovative partnerships with developers and brokers produce move-in-ready homes with distinguished design. We offer a full range of services to developers and brokers looking to make their unsellable properties more desirable to prospective buyers, including space planning, construction estimation, finish selections and furnishing plans.
