How We Work
Step 1
Project time Frame
Kitchen Renovations take 3 months from initial contact to project completion. Designing your kitchen and colour selection generally takes 1 month. Once a contract has been signed your kitchen cabinets will be installed within 8 weeks.
From our experience kitchen renovations take about 4 meetings (2 meetings are at your premises and 2 are at showroom) with the client and kitchen designer to get the right design & spec for you. If we try to push it all in to 1 meeting, I feel it is rushed and you the client will feel like your head is spinning and we the kitchen designer risk not delivering your dream kitchen. Below is Master Class Cabinets schedule from start to finish.
Step 2
Initial Contact
Client contacts Master Class Cabinets (via phone, email or website) for a quotation and time for the initial meeting will be scheduled.
Step 3
1st Site Inspection and Quotation
Rodney will visit site and he will get an understanding of what is required to complete the project. We will be mainly discussing Cabinetry & Bench Top Layout, Appliances, Wall removal if required & any queries that you might have. We will also touch base on Material & Colour Selections & Other Trades i.e. plumbers & electricians, these items are covered more in depth at the meeting at Master Class Cabinets.
At the conclusion of our appointment, we will have the opportunity to discuss a comprehensive budget for your Kitchen Renovation. Prices for kitchen renovations can vary depending on factors such as size and choice of products. During our meeting, we will carefully examine your kitchen, attentively listen to your ideas, and provide you with an accurate estimate to give you a clear understanding of the project's financial scope.
Something to keep in mind here is that the quote is just and estimate and can be varied either higher or lower, we will go into more depth at design stage at our showroom. The quote you receive can be a little overwhelming but once again after the next meeting @ Master Class Cabinets workshop you will be able to visual your dream kitchen.
Step 4
Sending Quotation
You will receive a quotation via email (unless otherwise requested) within a week of the 1st site meeting. In the email, you will receive an Itemised quote for the cabinets, stone & subtrades and also a plan of your new kitchen.
Step 5
Meeting at Master Class Cabinets Showroom
Our drafting software Cabinet Vision will show you detailed drawings of your kitchen in 3D, Birds Eye View & Front Elevation. You can make changes in our showroom very easily, let’s say you want to make your Thermo Mix fit in a specific position. We can do this with measuring tools in Cabinet Vision.
Once the design is 80% finished, we will move onto colours, materials & handles selections, we have all the samples at our workshop. Splash backs are the last part of planning and you can relax about this until after your tops are installed.
You don’t need to make your decision on the spot, we normally give you a week to sit on it until we do the final measure on site. Adjusting pricing on premium materials is easier at our factory with our quoting software. We can tell you on the spot how much any changes are that you have made.
The last part of the meeting is generally a little factory tour to show you where the magic happens, this way you can see how we cut out, construct and lacquer your cabinetry.
Step 6
Stone Mason Meeting
Only if you require, you can visit our stone mason in Jandakot, our stone mason has all the full stone slabs on display.
Step 7
Accepting the Quotation
Emailing us that you would like to proceed is the easiest way to notify us if you would like to proceed.
Step 8
Deposits
We may send a deposit invoice of 20% to commence the project.
Step 9
Final Check Measure Meeting
We will visit your site to conduct a comprehensive check measure, ensuring precise measurements for accurate planning. During our visit, we will discuss the design aspects and make note of any necessary changes. Additionally, we will confirm that all colors are accurately represented. Furthermore, we will provide you with a detailed overview of the entire process, including the order of trades involved, and confirm the expected time frames for each stage.
Step 10
Construction and Installation
Depending on your project, this will determine your schedule. The below schedule will cover a full renovation as in a 1 stop shop. 2 to 3 days after the final measure you will receive an email with your project schedule. We generally take 4-5 weeks to start your kitchen renovation.
Please note Rodney will be visiting site through the majority of the process.
