Design Process | Powell Woodworking L

THE DESIGN PROCESS:

A designer will provide you with a design based on several factors. Your style and storage needs are just the beginning of the process. Your first meeting (Design Consultation) will determine what style direction you are wanting to go. We will discuss what the positive and negatives are with your current space and discuss space planning. For an example: Do you entertain in your kitchen? Do you need additional storage in your closet? Your answers will help us determine the functional capacities that are required.

DESIGN CONSULTATION:

We provide a complimentary Design Consultation to assist both of us on what direction you are going and what your expectations are. Your designer will ask for images you like, your approximate budget and will ask for either your builder plans or have you provide measurements of the space to us. It is important that we establish what your vision is.

APPLIANCE SELECTIONS:

It is critical that you provide your designer with your selections. An oversized refrigerator or stove and dramatically change the layout of the space and careful consideration must be given to ensure proper flow. If you only have manufacturer model numbers, that will work for the beginning of the design phase.

MEASUREMENTS/ARCHITECTURAL DRAWINGS/SITE VISITS/MEETINGS:

Your Designer will take final production measurements before offering you a binding estimate. Several meetings may be arranged to discuss obstructions, your flow of the space, selections of finishes, selection of hardware, and other key details to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

PRICING AND COST

Your project is unique and since there are many different ideas and factors involved, a general ballpark estimate will be provided. This ballpark estimate will be provided on simple design factors. To provide you with a focused price, we will need to narrow the scope of your project and discuss all installation materials that will be included.

The Design Development will take 1 - 3 weeks from the initial Design Consultation Meeting, depending upon the number of spaces/areas. A Design retainer fee is requested at that time to proceed with your design process and will ensure your space as a current client and will authorize your designer to proceed with your designs. This fee is based off a low ballpark guesstimate of the cost of the cabinetry/millwork. This fee is deducted from your total once you have placed your order. Once the design and development process has been completed, you will be provided with a detailed estimate and 3D rendering plans, which will be yours to keep.

MOVING FORWARD

The next step will require your Designer to visit your jobsite to take Final Production Measurements. These measurements will ensure a custom fit. If you are purchasing your cabinetry for us to ship to you, we can facetime, or zoom meet with yourself or your contractor to obtain the necessary measurements. Once we have final measurements, we will finalize the drawings, which will include selected appliances. These drawings will be detailed with 2D installation drawings/instructions.

WHEN WILL IT BE READY?

We are typically 4-6 weeks from time of order to the delivery/shipping date. However, the production timing may be affected based on availability of materials and accessory items selected.
