Kitchen Design
You and your family spend a lot of time in your kitchen. It should be comfortable, functional, and pleasant—and all of that is possible when the design is precisely suited to you and the way you use your kitchen.
You’ve probably come across the term “Design-Build” in your many hours of kitchen remodeling research. It pops up a lot whenever you start looking into high-level construction or renovation projects—especially the projects that call for unique or personal design touches.
It’s used to describe a business model that’s becoming more and more popular across the wider industry, and for good reason. In design/build firms, what used to exist as distinct project phases (the design phase and construction phase) are combined to produce a more effective, cohesive, client-focused process.
Working with a design/build company to remodel your kitchen differs from the more traditional “call-a-general-contractor” approach in a few fundamental (but important) ways:
If you think the design/build process makes sense too, contact us to schedule an initial consultation.
Contractors usually send their clients to various showrooms to make product selections: cabinets in one, flooring and backsplashes in another, countertops in yet another, plumbing…you name it. This means a lot of different designers and entities get involved in selecting and ordering materials, which opens the door for errors to occur between parties. You can imagine how it would be a challenge for you to picture the whole set of selections together—when they’ve been chosen separately.
With the design/build approach, quality control is carried through every phase – beginning, middle, and end. This more focused project management process results in a lack of disputes between designers and builders—as well as lowered risk for you, the homeowner.
As with any major project, the less complicated it is, the better it is all around. The fewer hoops there are to jump through, the sooner you’ll get to the finish line (with fewer hiccups along the way). That same principle applies to kitchen design. By choosing a company with in-house designers, planners, and builders, you can count on all phases being streamlined. In fact, design/build projects are generally completed 33% faster than projects done in the traditional, more fragmented way.

It makes sense that when the people building your kitchen are also the ones who’ve designed it, there will be a vested interest in quality work.
At Kitchen Encounters, we generate 3D renderings and images that are accurate down to the smallest measurement, so you can more easily visualize your new space before committing. We also utilize a complete kitchen and bath showroom space with samples of nearly every component needed to remodel those spaces so you can see and feel elements for yourself.
Don’t you deserve to work with a firm where the kitchen contractors are also the kitchen designers? With the training to work with cutting-edge software to create realistic renderings of your space?
We think you do. Get in touch with us to learn more.
