FAQ Consultation and Planning Process
“What should I bring with me to a consultation?”
Well, depending on your personality type, you may want to just bring your ideas and a cup of coffee, and we will take it from there. However, if you want to go the extra mile then you could bring a floor plan of your space/room. If you are feeling really ambitious you could measure the basic room. A great idea would always be to bring photographs of projects you like to give us an idea of your style. Photographs of your home and the area you want to work on are very helpful but not necessary initially. If you would like us to measure or photograph for you, that is also an option.
“Do I need to take accurate measurements of my space?”
We will be glad to handle this part of the project for you. As the factors that determine what and how we measure are so different for each situation.
If you bring your own measurements, here is quick guide:
If counter tops: width, length and depth of each top. If a peninsula or island, measure separately and illustrate which sides are finished, where refrigerator is located, where range is located, type of range, and type of sink. If kitchen cabinets: wall to wall dimensions (accurate to 1/8”), wall to center-line of plumbing at sink, wall to any windows and doors include case moldings. Door which way the doors swing and the size of all doors. If in doubt, measure it! You can never have too much information. Model numbers of any appliances you are buying or keeping are helpful as well.
