Process

At Kitchen & Bath Specialists, we follow a detailed process to ensure that you are informed from beginning to end.

01

Initial Consultation

For the initial consultation we set an appointment to meet in our showroom and gather information. We offer a comprehensive education using our showroom displays, samples, accessories, and more. Please bring plans, dimensions, or site photos, to enrich our discussion.

Understanding the client’s requirements, preferences, and vision for their kitchen space. This involves discussing their lifestyle, cooking habits, storage needs, and any specific design preferences they may have.

Establishing a clear budget for the project to ensure material proposals are in sync with your financial expectations.
Assessing the intended space, including its layout, dimensions, architectural features, and any potential challenges or opportunities for improvement.
Identifying the primary goals and objectives for the cabinetry, such as improving functionality, maximizing storage, enhancing aesthetics, or accommodating specific appliances or features.
Exploring the your preferred design styles, color palettes, materials, and finishes to ensure that the proposed design reflects your taste and complements the overall aesthetic of your home.
Discussing practical aspects such as traffic flow, ergonomic considerations, bath fixtures, safety features, etc.
Establishing a realistic timeline for the project and defining the scope of work to be undertaken, including any additional services or consultations required.
Overall, the initial consultation serves as an opportunity for the designers and clients to establish rapport, clarify objectives, and lay the groundwork for a successful collaboration throughout the project. If you would like to move forward with design development, we will prepare an engagement fee invoice.

02

Design Fee

The design fee is non-refundable and is determined based on the complexity and estimated time required to complete design drawings. A portion of the design fee will be applied to cabinetry orders so long as the estimated order is placed within 12 months of the design date. This fee encompasses various services, including:

  • Project consultations
  • Verification of measurements
  • Design preparation
  • Design consultation
  • One revision
Upon design, our team sets an appointment to take precise measurements, or we use your plans to begin the design development phase.

03

Space Measurement & Conceptual Drawings

During the design development phase, we diligently progress towards the final design and material procurement.

After finalizing measurements or collecting plan dimensions, we move forward with drafting conceptual drawings that incorporate the insights gathered during our initial consultation. Collaborating closely with you, we also create tailored palette options for your space. When we uncover alternative options to enhance the design or palette, we will present these options for your consideration.

Upon completing design options, we arrange a consultation in our showroom to review the drawings, palettes, and estimates. This session provides the opportunity to review all that is proposed and discuss any modifications. Together we thoroughly review cabinetry options, finishes, storage solutions, and other pertinent details. We believe that no detail is too insignificant for consideration, and our collaboration continues until we mutually agree that the final design aligns with your vision.

04

Consultation in Our Showroom

It’s time to place your orders!

Before your orders are finalized, we verify that all materials we procure for the project are suitable for your space. We track shipment of these materials, ensuring they are ultimately transported to the project site. If upon arrival an item is found to be defective, we will promptly rectify the issue and replace it with no additional hassle to you. We will keep you aware of arrival dates and promptly provide notification of any delays.

Furthermore, our team takes charge of communication and correspondence with your project manager regarding installation of materials we procure. For any material we procure (e.g. cabinetry, tile, plumbing, decorative lighting, bath accessories, mirrors, & countertops), we provide detailed installation guides. These detailed guides provide specifics for installation of material according to the customer approved design.

For countertops, we schedule all site appointments with the project manager, and we are on-site for template and installation.

Our process is designed to ensure clear communication, attention to detail, and customer service. Partner with us today to create a space in your home that exudes your sense of style, sophistication, and comfort.
