The design phase is broken down in smaller, more manageable decisions:
- Start by collecting photographs of ideas and items you would like to incorporate into your home.
- We then design the room concentrating on functionality while keeping the finished look and feel in mind.
- Formulate a materials budget. Once a preliminary design is decided upon, it's time to get bids from General Contractors to determine a total job cost.
The tasks above are typical of an initial design agreement.
- Appliances are now selected and purchased. The equipment used may change the design because the cabinets are built around the appliances.
- At this point the countertop materials (such as granite) are selected and reserved; we are now building the color palette for the room.
- Shop for cabinetry and select a doorstyle and finish color.
- Sinks, faucets and fixtures are now decided upon and purchased.
- It's now time to revisit the room design, revise as needed and purchase cabinetry.
- All plans and product specifications are assembled into comprehensive project documents for the contracting staff.
- Once all products have been delivered to your house, it's time to start the construction phase of the project.
