Longo Custom Builders is seeking a highly organized Design Coordinator who can connect customers, interior designers, architects, vendors, Project Managers, estimators, and the field. This role is creative, but its greatest value is coordination: guiding selections, capturing decisions, maintaining documentation, and ensuring design information arrives complete and on time so our teams can build accurately.

Who Will Thrive Here

You appreciate beautiful homes, but you also love the details behind them: dimensions, lead times, finish schedules, approvals, budgets, and the satisfaction of closing open decisions. You communicate warmly with customers while respectfully holding deadlines and process boundaries.

What You Will Own

• Guide customers through the selections process using organized agendas, decision schedules, vendor resources, and clear next steps.
• Maintain the master selections schedule and status, including decision deadlines, approvals, allowances, lead times, and items at risk.
• Coordinate with architects, interior designers, showrooms, vendors, estimators, Project Managers, and Site Supervisors to gather and distribute complete information.
• Document selections accurately in the project management system with specifications, model numbers, finishes, quantities, locations, pricing, attachments, and approvals.
• Confirm that selected products fit the plans, field conditions, design intent, budget, installation requirements, and project schedule before release.
• Prepare selection packages and meeting materials; record decisions, unresolved questions, responsible parties, and due dates.
• Track samples, submittals, shop drawings, finish schedules, and customer approvals.
• Identify long lead items and decision delays early, then clearly communicate the schedule and cost impact.
• Support pricing, allowance reconciliation, change documentation, procurement, and handoff of approved selections to the field.
• Conduct periodic site visits to confirm context, coordinate details, and help resolve design questions.

What Success Looks Like

• Selections are made early enough to protect procurement and construction milestones.
• The project record contains one clear, current, approved source of truth.
• The estimator and Project Manager receive complete information for pricing and purchasing.
• The Site Supervisor and trade partners can build without chasing missing design decisions.
• Customers feel guided and cared for while understanding deadlines and consequences.
• Design intent is preserved through accurate documentation and coordination.

Qualifications

• Experience in residential design coordination, interior design, architecture, construction selections, showrooms, or high end residential project support.
• Strong understanding of finishes, fixtures, cabinetry, millwork, tile, lighting, plumbing, hardware, appliances, and the way selections affect construction.
• Exceptional organization, attention to detail, written communication, meeting follow up, and deadline management.
• Ability to read residential plans and translate design information into clear records and action items.
• Comfort with project management software, spreadsheets, document management, presentation tools, and Microsoft 365.
• Ability to travel to showrooms, vendor meetings, and jobsites throughout metro Atlanta.
• A design related degree is valued, but excellent coordination, taste, technical curiosity, and proven execution are equally important.
