The Process
Our talented team of designers, craftspeople and carpentry experts will oversee the production of your project from start to finish in our studio, based just south of Amsterdam.
Most of our team come from a background in art, design or the construction trades so we can help you not only design the perfect cabinets but also help with any building queries you may have during your renovation. Importantly you’ll be in contact with the same person from the very first meeting up until the project is installed meaning we can ensure quality and ease of communication throughout the whole process. We know that clear and effective communication between all parties is the easiest way to make sure a project runs well.
Lead times vary depending on your specific project but as with most things preparation is key. Even if you aren’t sure exactly what you need from us feel free to get in touch early and we can work it out together.
This is our way to get to know each other, and for you to explain your wishes of your project to us (for free!)
Ideally we’d love for you to visit us at our studio, but if this isn’t possible we can have an equally productive video call.
We’ll need some information about your space so measurements from your builder or plans of the architect. Even some scribbles on a napkin with a few important measurements will do to get us started. Then we’ll ask about what your wishes are for the project. From there after getting to know you and finding out your likes (and dislikes!) we will make a 2D plan complete with an accurate quote.
If all of this is to your liking we will ask for the First Payment. This means your project is officially booked in with us.
Initial Design + Consultation
This is our favourite part. Taking the ideas from initial concept to fully realised plans. This is where you can let all of your creative ideas flow. From materials and finishes, the organisation of drawer internals, lighting and more. You’ll be guided each step of the way by your designer to help achieve exactly what you need. Here we also set out the timeline of your project to fit your schedule. Towards the end of this process we require the Design Payment and from us you will get full plans as well as 3D renders so that you can already put yourself in the space with your new cabinetry.
If you are local it’s also at this stage one of our team will come by to laser measure every detail of the space. Should this not be possible for any reason we can be in contact with your builder or architect and work from their plans.
Design Development
After receiving the Design Payment, we will finalise all plans and have you sign off on them, This is when the workshop team will take over and turn the plans into a reality. At this stage we require the Production Payment.
Production
Before we deliver your beautiful new cabinetry we ask for the Final Payment.
Final Payment + Delivery
We are not only expert cabinet makers, but installers too. In most cases we will also provide the installation because we know the design inside and out. This requires payment separate to the above. Should you wish for another installer for any reason we can make clear and easy to follow plans, and offer additional advice by phone should it be required.
Installation
At this stage you will have all of your beautiful cabinets installed in your home and ready for a lifetime of service. We are always on hand should you require anything else further down the line. We keep all of your design files safely backed up so in the unlikely event something gets damaged in the future we can offer a repair or replace service to keep your cabinets looking as good as the day they arrived, no matter what you put them through.
