Kitchen Design Consultation Package

How Long Does the Kitchen Design Consultation Take?

The process takes 6-8 weeks which is why many of our clients forego doing the planning process themselves and rely on us to do it for them.  Here is a breakdown of how those weeks will go:

Start: We begin with an ideas session and measurements of your space.  Both Heather (our Principal Interiors Pro) and Kyle (our Project Manager) will meet you at your home to do the initial assessment.  Heather will sit with you and ask a lot of questions that will help her define your design aesthetic and understand how you and your family function inside your kitchen.  Kyle will take accurate measurements of the space so that we can begin the process of layouts for trades.

Initial Concept Development:  Heather and the team will spend about 10 days pulling together the initial design concept and preparing for a Trade Day.  We will do initial layout sketches, mood boards, and initial materials selections.  This is a truly collaborative team effort done internally that requires hitting local suppliers, spending approximately 8-10 hours on drawings and planning, and putting the concept in front of multiple eyes to ensure that the concept is the very best it can be in order to meet our standards of excellence.

Trade Day: We will invite our trusted Trade partners to your home to see the space, confirm measurements, and to discuss the viability of our concept.  At this point, we will provide our team of cabinetry pros, flooring specialists, plumber, electrician, and contractor with the concept and materials selections to gather initial estimates for our Concept + Budget meeting.

Concept + Budget Meeting:  It takes 2-3 weeks to get quotes back from all of our trade vendors.  Once those are in-hand, we will pull together an initial concept + budget presentation that we will review with you at our design studio.  This will be your first chance to see the initial design concepts and make any revisions to the plan or budget before the finalized design presentation.

Develop Plan + Renderings:  Once the concept and budget are approved by you, we will get to work pulling together a photorealistic 3D rendering, cohesive lighting plan, cohesive styling plan, and finalized materials selections.  We will order samples so that you can touch and feel them during our final presentation.

Design Presentation:  After all of that work the day is finally here to review your final design presentation!  We will walk you through your complete kitchen plan including the final cabinetry selections, cohesive lighting plan, cohesive styling plan, flooring plan, tiling plan, and do a 3D walkthrough of your new kitchen on our large screen so that you’ll know exactly what the final product will look like before ordering a thing.

During this presentation we will have quotes available from our trusted trade partners and can discuss moving forward with installing the kitchen of your dreams!
