Atelier by Malmin — The Operating Platform for Luxury Design-Build

What Is Atelier?

Atelier by Malmin is the operating platform for luxury design-build firms running $2M+ renovations and custom homes. It covers selections and specifications, procurement and expediting, budget and allowances, and a private client experience portal.

What Services Does Atelier Offer?

  1. Selections & Specifications — Every premium material, fixture, and finish in one curated, image-rich library organized by room, with clean client approvals and a complete spec for each piece.
  2. Procurement & Expediting — Track every bespoke and imported order from approval to install. Automatic alerts fire before a long lead time can threaten your schedule.
  3. Budget & Allowances — Real-time allowance-versus-actual by category, change orders with client sign-off, and an immutable audit trail built to withstand scrutiny.
  4. Client Experience Portal — A private, beautiful portal where clients approve selections, follow progress, and see exactly where every dollar goes.

Who Is Atelier Built For?

Atelier is built for firms running $2M+ renovations and custom builds where every detail matters and the client experience is paramount.

How Is Atelier Priced?

Atelier is priced per active project — a project with 'active' status is billable — with one transparent fee and no per-seat charges. Plans scale to your concurrent workload, so a firm pays a predictable project-level fee regardless of team size. View full pricing → [VERIFY: insert price per active project per month]

How is Atelier different from Buildertrend / Houzz / BuildBook?

Buildertrend, Houzz Pro, and BuildBook were designed for volume-focused firms running many ordinary residential projects. Atelier is purpose-built for luxury design-build firms managing $2M+ renovations and custom homes — covering selections and specifications, procurement and expediting, budget and allowances, and a private client experience portal that reflects the quality of the work itself.

What size projects is Atelier for?

Atelier is designed for firms running $2M+ renovations and custom builds where every detail matters and the client experience is paramount. Pricing is per active project, not per user.

Does Atelier replace our existing tools?

Yes. Atelier replaces scattered spreadsheets for selections and budgets, separate procurement trackers, disconnected client email threads, and shared-drive document folders with a single platform built around four pillars: Selections & Specifications, Procurement & Expediting, Budget & Allowances, and a Client Experience Portal. It integrates into your workflow rather than requiring you to adapt to it.
