Ever wondered what exactly goes into a kitchen design? I
mean, how much work can it really be? Today you will get a behind the scenes
look into the first week of a kitchen remodel and what it really takes to pull
it off successfully.
Day 1: Meet with homeowners and discuss their needs and
wants. This meeting is a fact-finding trip and a great time to gauge their
color likes and dislikes. Take careful measurements and pictures. Return to
office and begin drawing plans for the space.
Day 2: Finish drawing plans and gather samples of cabinet
finishes and door styles, tile and granite samples, paint colors and
inspiration photos.
Day 3: Present plans and ideas to homeowners. Schedule a
time to return with subcontractors to begin preparing a price. Return to office
and revise plans. Schedule meeting times with plumber, electrician, trim
carpenter, cabinet builder, painter and tile setter. Make appointments to meet
homeowner at different trade showrooms.
Day 4: Meet homeowners at the cabinet shop and discuss and
select cabinet colors, styles, wood, hardware, trim and interior details.
Day 5: Meet homeowners at appliance store. Look at different
appliance models, compare brands and pricing and make selections.
Whew! Are you tired yet? This is what could be accomplished
in one week. Typically the drawing stage takes a little longer and it is rare
if not impossible to be able to meet with the client that many times in one
week. Most people’s schedule simply won’t allow it. I hope that this insight is
helpful to you if you are considering a kitchen remodel and is a look in to the
time that is required.
