For Builders & GC’s

Fewer On-Site Decisions. Smoother Builds and Renovations From Start to Finish.

Strategic collaboration for custom homes that deserve cohesion from the first framing meeting to final install.

How I Support Your Projects:

  • Finalize selections before construction begins

  • Eliminate on-site design decisions

  • Provide a clear, buildable plan for your team

  • Keep projects moving without delays or guesswork

Meet the Designer: Jess Bergeron

With insight into both residential and commercial construction environments, I design with sequencing, trade coordination, and real-world durability in mind.

I understand how decisions made early impact everything downstream.

Interior design should support the build — not complicate it.

Why it matters…

When design decisions aren’t finalized early, projects slow down.
Trades wait. Questions come up. Momentum gets lost. A clear plan up front keeps everything moving.

Design + Build Collab

I partner best with builders and GCs who value a clear plan before construction begins.
Those who want decisions made early, communication streamlined, and a project that moves forward without constant on-site problem solving.

  • "I am so grateful to come home to our beautiful house, stand in our exquisite kitchen, and take it all in every day!"

    —Jennifer Smith: Custom New Build, Norwich, NY

  • "She also sourced multiple pendant lights and barstools until we found the perfect one. Most importantly, we always felt heard and understood. If you are looking for someone to do the sourcing and specifications for your next project, we highly recommend The Cottage on Kingsley!."

Our Approach

The strongest projects aren’t figured out on site.
They’re decided before construction begins.

I work alongside builders and homeowners to finalize key design decisions early—so your team can focus on execution, not problem-solving.

Design + Custom Build Project

We collaborate closely with builders and contractors to ensure each project is not only thoughtfully designed, but clearly communicated and executed with precision.

From new builds to renovations, our role is to support the process through detailed design, material selection, and a strong understanding of how spaces come together on site.

Featured Project

The Medbury — Residential New Build
A ground-up kitchen project designed in collaboration with the builder, where layout, lighting, and material selections were planned from the early stages of construction.
