This masterclass is for interior designers who want to feel confident leading conversations around construction budgets without tension or guesswork. A clear, well-structured budget builds trust, protects your scope, and creates alignment between you, your client, and the builder from the very beginning.

We’ll cover how to think about construction budgets early in the design process, how to communicate numbers clearly and honestly, and how to help clients understand what their budget can realistically support. Melissa shares how she approaches budgeting on real projects, how she collaborates with builders, and how she sets expectations in a way that keeps projects moving forward with fewer surprises.
