Working with a Designer

A designer can pull all the pieces of your kitchen puzzle together. You'll be free to dream, while the designer thinks through all the measurements, material coordination, and construction logistics. 

A designer will typically:

• Create a design and draft a floor plan and elevations.
• Develop a detailed budget and schedule.
• Order products and materials.
• Coordinate work with your contractor or act as the contractor
• Provide and oversee the installation and placement of the cabinets, appliances and other design elements.

 Before meeting with a designer, consider:

• What you and your family like and dislike about your current kitchen. Bring a rough floor plan of your kitchen with you.
• What general styles you like-contemporary, traditional,
  eclectic, etc.
• Whether you want your kitchen to reflect the architectural style of your home.
• What designs have caught your attention-bring photos or magazine tear-outs of your favorites.

When you want your new kitchen to be ready.

• How much you want to spend.
• What questions you have about the designer's work & about the remodeling process in general.
