General Contractor and Interior Designer in Buffalo, NY
This is our Design + Procurement + General Contractor service, built for homeowners who want expert design guidance and a seamless path to a finished space, without having to manage the moving pieces themselves.
One Team to Design, Plan & Build Your Renovation
Most renovations go sideways between the design and build phase. The designer hands off a plan, the contractor interprets it, and you end up stuck in the middle, fielding questions, making rushed decisions, and wondering why the build doesn’t match what you pictured.
As an award-winning interior designer and general contractor in Buffalo, NY, I fill that gap and give you your dream home. Your design, selections, ordering, and construction all live under one roof, with one team who knows your project inside and out.

My Approach to Design + Construction
Hiring separate people for design and construction can lead to miscommunication, delays, and costly surprises. My process is different because the same team that designs your space also builds it. Every detail is considered and decision is made with construction in mind from day one.
Before aesthetics: start with function.
Before we talk finishes, I want to understand how your space works now and where it doesn’t. Is the layout fighting you? Do you need more storage, better flow, or a room that finally fits the way you live? Those answers directly impact the decisions that follow.
Design the space with the build in mind.
Once your priorities are clear, I create a complete design plan that brings together layout, cabinetry, lighting, materials, fixtures, and finishes. Because I’m also overseeing construction, every selection is made with the bigger picture in mind: how it looks, how it functions, and exactly how it will be built.
Carry the project through construction.
Through Cavalieri Contracting, we coordinate the build, manage the trades, and keep the project aligned with the approved design. You get one point of contact, a clear plan, and a team who’s accountable for the finished result, not just the drawings or product selection.
This service is perfect for whole home remodels or for one room renovations (kitchen or bathroom, for example). To ensure the highest level of craftsmanship and detail, we partner with clients from the very beginning of the planning phase—before construction starts—rather than offering hourly styling, casual advice, or mid-project interventions.
