How it works

Four stages, and who does what.

We design it and supply it. A licensed contractor installs it. Knowing which is which up front is what keeps a project from stalling halfway.

01

The site, before anything else

Photos, rough dimensions, and where the gas, power and water already run. If you are inside a community with an architectural review board, we want its guidelines now rather than after the drawing is done.

You
Send photos and a rough budget.
Us
We come back with the material call for your address.
02

Layout

We draw the run around how you actually cook and where people actually stand. The most common mistake in this category is a beautiful island with nowhere to set a tray down while the grill is open.

You
Tell us how you cook and how many you host.
Us
Plan view, elevation, appliance cutouts.
03

Specification and a real number

Cabinetry, appliances, stone, and the hardware grade that matches the panels. One itemised price for the supply, with freight and lead times in it.

You
Choose. We will say where spending more changes nothing.
Us
A quotation you can hold a contractor to.
04

Installation, by someone licensed

Gas, electrical and plumbing connections are made by a contractor licensed in the state — your own, or one we introduce. They quote that work separately and you pay them directly, so you can see exactly what each part costs.

You
Pick your contractor, or use ours.
Us
Deliver, and hand them a drawing set they can build from.

Where projects go wrong

Four mistakes, all avoidable.

Specifying after the slab is poured

Rough-ins end up in the wrong place and get chased into finished concrete. The cheapest moment to make these decisions is before anything is set.

Choosing cabinetry before the appliance

Cutout dimensions come from the equipment. Reversing the order means recutting stone.

Forgetting the shade

It is the largest line most people leave out of the first budget, and the one that most changes how often the kitchen actually gets used.

Matching the panel but not the hardware

316 doors on 304 hinges still streak. The cheap screw corrodes first and stains the expensive panel around it.
