The first step in the design
process is an in-home consultation with one of our designers. It's
an opportunity to discuss ideas that help determine a direction for
the room design. The designer takes measurements and draws a floor
plan of the existing room.
It's
a good idea to have some pictures cut out from remodeling magazines
or ideas of things that you prefer, and to have a budget in mind
so that the designer can create a plan that is both to your taste
and within your budget. We charge $100.00 for the initial consultation
which usually takes between one and two hours for a kitchen and
under an hour for a bathroom. We charge $80.00 an hour for design
services beyond the initial consultation and the cost of the design
is credited to the job if Corvallis Custom Kitchens & Baths
is hired to do the remodeling. At this point if you would like us
to draw up a set of plans for you, we will discuss the cost of the
plans and a design agreement will be written and signed.
Your
designer will draw floor plans and set up a second meeting at our
office to review the plans with you. When you have selected a design
that meets your needs we will finalize the plans package. The finished
package will include a floor plan, an electrical plan, elevation
drawings of the cabinetry, a set of specifications and a price quote.
At this point, you can
also hire Corvallis Custom Kitchens & Baths to do the remodeling
work. There are many advantages to having us do both the design
and the remodeling. First
of all, it saves time by having the design and construction flow
as one continuous process so the work can move forward as our construction
schedule allows. Also, the communication between our construction
crew and designers helps the crew be more efficient and productive.
During the design phase, the client has an opportunity to build
a relationship with our company fostering better communication and
a more effective work environment. There is also one expert instead
of two independent companies having responsibility for your project.
Whether your choice is
strictly design or remodel with design, our professional staff looks
forward to working with you!
