HOME REMODELING PROCESS

Process

Opening your home to relative strangers is not something we expect you to take lightly. That’s why we strive to know you and your needs while you’re getting to know us – to build trust, increase the comfort level, and to ensure that we’re all on the same page. Communication is the key to a successful relationship, and we take pride in our ability to be in touch with you every step of the way. For your project, you will get your own KraftMaster team including a dedicated design consultant, designer, and project manager. They will see your project through from start to finish. Our process is simple but detailed. We would like to take some time to review our process with you, so you will know what to expect when working with us. For example, you’ll note that we meet often, to make sure that we’re always on the same page.

Consultation and Planning:
Let’s Get Acquainted.

inspiration Step One

We start with a free on-site consultation, where we discuss your project with you to gain an understanding of your goals and vision. This ensures that we can make informed recommendations on how to meet your needs. We will also discuss your budget and time lines. Next, we will prepare a Design Retainer, which will outline the scope of your project. At this time, the agreement is signed and design fee is paid, which is later credited to your construction contract. Now we are ready to start. Let the excitement begin!

Design and Review:
The Magic of Creation..

Inspiring Step Two

Your designer will visit your home, verify all the details of your project and take measurements. Shortly after, your design consultant and designer will meet with you to confirm your vision, scope, budget, and project schedule. From there, your designer will work on creating the space that you envision, providing visual aids such as 3D renderings, or even our new Virtual Reality experience. We’ll arrange a review meeting with you once the plans are ready, to look over them in detail. Depending on the complexity of your project, there may be only one design review meeting or several.

Final Budget and Materials:
Details, Details, Details.

Selections Step Three

You will now have the chance to decide on some of the most important details, and we will guide you through the process. In your Selections Meeting you will choose flooring, fixtures, lighting design, cabinets, and much more. This important step helps us prepare an accurate proposal. Next, we schedule a Production Team Review where your entire project team meets at your home. The KratMaster team will take this time to review plans and confer with one another on any outstanding questions. On the same day, we’ll also meet one-on-one with key trade contractors scheduled to work on your home. This ensures that everyone working on your project understands both the schedule and plan. Once all of the selections and designs are finalized, we’ll present and review the complete budget, drawings and selections in a Contract Budget and Plan Review Meeting.

 

Construction and Check-In:
Off To Work We Go.

Build_and_Install Step Four

We’ll hold a Pre-Construction Meeting to discuss logistics and expectations with you prior to starting construction on your project. Once work has started, we’ll conduct a weekly walk-through with you where we’ll ask for your feedback on the progress to date. We consider this a critical part of the process, as it is our goal to make sure that we are meeting your expectations and keeping you updated on the schedule every step of the way.

 

Completion:
Enjoying Your New Space.

Enjoy your Newly Remodeled Home Step Five

Prior to hammering the final nail, when work is nearly completed, we will prepare a final completion list, noting any outstanding items. We will work to complete any of these items as quickly as possible. Then, all you have to do is relax and enjoy your new space!

Kitchen and Bathroom Design


Welcome, I'm glad you found your way here. Please take some time to explore our information-packed online design studio. My goal, simply put, is to provide you with a design-through-installation experience that is attentive and patient, originally creative, and professional in its execution. The result? A space that will enhance your quality of life, providing great satisfaction and enjoyment, for many years to come.

As you peruse the site, you will soon gain insight into the global way your project will evolve, as I share the inner workings of the entire design process with you. You can view inspiring images (my actual work) in the Portfolio, and get to know me along the way as well. Our website evolves too, with an ebb and flow of new ideas, images, discussions, and news, to keep it fresh and relevant, it's never "done".

I hope that you can feel my passion for my work, and the desire to deliver the (often, only once in a lifetime) dream to my valued clients. Please pass along our web address to those you know planning a kitchen/other room. Now, I would like very much to hear about your project! Call or email me, and let's begin the conversation.
