STAGE 3
DESIGN SERVICE
In this design service you get a plan, design ideas, cost and time estimate. A good design significantly impacts the everyday through both form and function and this is why we feel it is so important to get it right. This is a guide for you to plan your layout and we feel it is the most important part of your kitchen or any design.
Designs and layouts are based on the completion of the Forms below and a consultation with one of our designers. Our process is a collaborative one so to ensure we give you a suitable layout from the start and to give your designer a good understanding of your space we ask for this information prior to design commencement. This information will be our first point of reference so please do indicate how you and your family would like to use the rooms and feel free to express your practical aesthetic likes and dislikes.
The more information you give our designers, the easier it is to present you with your ideal design and quote first time round.
At this stage you are required to pay a €500 deposit.
STAGE 4
YOUR DESIGN PRESENTATION
When your designs are ready after incorporating your requests and personal taste with our style and experience, we’ll email you your Design presentation for your to review and make any final changes. The designers will present a comprehensive overview showing you samples, colours, the finer details, and you will be emailed estimate on all your chosen details to help you visualise the design and concept of your new room.
If you’re happy we can get the wheels in motion for the next stage. If you want to take everything home and mull it over, no prob, just come back to us when you’re ready.
STAGE 5
APPROVAL & SITE SURVEY
At this stage we will arrange a site visit to undertake an initial survey. This will allow us to produce full detailed drawings and understand all other structural details that may need to be implemented.
Designs will be finalised at this stage to include finishing touches such as colours, materials, stone selection, and hardware. At this stage appliances, sinks and taps will be discussed, and expert advice given.
STAGE 6
SIGN OFF & PRODUCTION
When your layout has been agreed with the design team, Barry our Production and Manufacturing Director will have completed a site survey, he will sign off on final production drawings which will include all details of your project. At this point we will ask you to look over the drawings and approve for manufacturing.
Once we receive confirmation, Barry will project manage the manufacturing and co ordinate with our highly skilled craftsmen to start production. He will liaise with your architect, builder, or associated trades to ensure a smooth and harmonious project.
On receipt of your final deposit (50% of the total price minus €500 paid at the design stage) your order is put into production. Production leadtime is a minimum of 8 weeks!
Upon sign-off you will be given an estimated installation date of when you can expect your project to be delivered.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT This is not a stage but we see it as very important to reassure all our clients we will make this process very simple, informed and enjoyable.
