Once you make the decision to remodel your kitchen, you may be asking yourself, where should you start? Finding the correct answer to this question can be daunting.
Most people think, or have read on the trusty internet, that you should start with demolition. However, demolition is not the first step. Design is the most important phase of your kitchen remodel.
The biggest asset your designer will provide is knowledge. Completing a design that will function well and looks great is not as easy as it looks. It takes an experienced designer to provide a great design that challenges your thoughts, visions, and is able to wow you.
After the design is complete you have a couple of options:
- Take the design and complete the remodel on your own.
- Hire the designer to manage and complete the remodel for you. A company that can both create the design and perform the remodel is known as a Design and Build company.
Design and Build has essentially three steps:
- Design: Design your remodel as described above.
- Pricing: Take the design and complete a proposal identifying a detailed scope of work in relation to the proposal and establishing cost based on this scope of work.
- Build: Complete the work established in the scope of work.
In the end, having a professional to help design your kitchen remodel and then complete the remodel may be the best choice that you can make! Choosing a Design and Build company to work with will help ensure that you are happy and have a positive experience with your remodel.
