CUSTOM CABINET DESIGN

LET US MAKE YOUR DREAM COME TRUE

Full-service design, manufacturing, and installation of the highest quality custom kitchens, bathrooms, shelving, and commercial casework in the southwest Georgia area.

OUR 5 STEP PROCESS

OUR 5 STEP PROCESS

Purchasing custom cabinetry, custom woodwork or casework is very different than purchasing pre-manufactured elements from a home center or design center. Our objective here is to define our 5-step process for you. Going from a blank sheet of paper to a finished product is a very complicated process, but it’s one that should be enjoyable to everyone involved. With a little extra planning and a lot of communication between all the parties involved, we take care of all the details to make this process as smooth as possible.

    Design Consultation

The first step to realizing your dream kitchen, bathroom, bookshelves, or custom commercial space, is to meet with our design/build experts where we learn about you and your ideas, likes, dislikes, and overall goals for your space. We want to understand possible challenges and opportunities your unique space could allow.

For this meeting to be as effective as possible and to be able to move forward to the estimate phase, you will need to provide us with the following items:

  • Blueprints or sketches

    If you do not have plans or blueprints, we can develop them for you.

  • Appliance specifications, if applicable or available at this time

  • Some clients send us Web or Pinterest links

    Inspiration boards help us see what you like and do not like.

  • List of features you would like included in your cabinetry or project

  • Any samples you may need to assist you in your selections

  • Budgetary requirements

    Once an estimated cabinetry budget has been established, we will assist you with your material and door style selections to fit within the budgetary constraints.

    Project Estimate

Our estimates are very detailed and will provide you with the information you need to make a fully educated decision about your custom cabinetry, woodworking, or casework requirements. We are more than happy to provide several alternate pricing scenarios, so please do not hesitate to ask. If you think you might want to upgrade or any other change, addition or subtraction, we will be more than happy to accommodate those change requests (this is the time to do so, not after the manufacturing process has been put into motion).

To move forward from the estimate phase of the process to the design phase, we will need to get detailed specifications (appliances, measurements, etc) if we have not already received them. If you have not picked the appliances yet, we will need you to do that before we can proceed with the design. If you have already picked out your appliances and they were not supplied to us at the Design Consultation, then please have your appliance supplier fax a copy of the appliance specifications to us as soon as possible. The things we will need from you to move forward to the design phase are:

  • Signed copy of the last page of your estimate

  • A check for the design fee shown on the estimate

  • Appliance specifications if we have not yet received them

Once we have all these items, we will schedule a time to visit your project site to field measure your space. We will then produce a preliminary design.

When you sign our estimate, you are not signing a contract authorizing us to manufacture your cabinetry; you are only agreeing to pay us to field measure and design your project. Once we have produced the drawings and ultimately a proposal, if you choose to hire us to build your custom project, the design fee will be deducted from the total.

    Design Review

As soon as we have received your signed estimate and your check for the design fee, we will schedule a time to come and field measure your project using our advanced laser measuring device to assure accuracy. During the time we are field measuring your project, we will typically identify any conflicts with any plumbing, electrical or HVAC items and inform the appropriate person (site supervisor, project manager, builder, etc.). We will then produce a design using our advanced design software that will allow you to see what your cabinetry will look like before we ever manufacture it.

    Engineering & Manufacturing

The next step for us is to engineer your project, which simply means that we will review every detail of the design and check for any potential issues that may arise from the design. This includes things like making certain that the knob on a drawer on one wall of an L-shaped corner will not interfere with a drawer, door or appliance on the opposing wall. This is a painstaking and tedious process, but it is one of the most important aspects of providing custom cabinetry. Each and every project is unique, and we are not installing stock cabinets in 3″ increments that will allow the cabinet supplier to substitute a different sized cabinet if one does not fit properly. We have to get it right the first time.

Our installers are some of the best in the industry and have the very best tools and equipment available.
