Our Seamless Design-Build Approach
At Living With Lolo, based in Scottsdale and serving the greater Phoenix and Paradise Valley areas, we offer more than stunning interiors. Our full-service design-build model removes friction, protects your investment, and elevates every part of your renovation or new-build experience.
Here’s how:
Time Saved
Estimated Savings: 60-100+ Hours
From trade coordination to vendor communication, our local Arizona team handles it all. Our full-service model limits your time investment to high-level decisions only – we manage the rest.
“I never once had to play middleman. They understood our vision and executed it perfectly.”
Budget Protected
Result: 15-25% Fewer Cost Overruns
We combine interior design, general contracting, and procurement under one Scottsdale-based roof. That means aligned teams, accurate estimates, and no surprise markups.
“Having one team from demo to install meant fewer delays and fewer change orders.”
Higher Return on Investment
Example: $350K Appraisal Lift Post-Renovation in Paradise Valley
Design that photographs beautifully is one thing. Design that performs in the Arizona luxury real estate market is another. We bring market-savvy strategies to every floor plan and finish.
Cohesive Execution
What You Approve is What You Get
Because our design and construction teams are one, nothing gets lost in translation. The renderings you approve are what gets built – down to the inch.
Peace of Mind
Result: Fewer Emails. Fewer Surprises. Better Sleep.
When your designer, general contractor, and project manager work in sync, everything runs smoother. Daily communication and alignment between these roles mean fewer emails, fewer surprises, and better sleep for you.
Miscommunications are minimized, the process feels calmer, and the client experience improves from start to finish.
As one client put it, “They anticipated issues before we even knew to ask the questions. It was the best investment in our sanity.”
Looking at project outcomes, furnishing-only work delivers around a 40% margin, a moderate close rate, and feedback like “Gorgeous results.” Combining GC, design, and furnishing services offers a 30–35% margin, a high close rate, and the sentiment “Best decision we made.” Construction-only projects typically see a 20–25% margin, a low close rate, and are often described as “Stressful without design.”
