How The KB Studio Works With Clients
Working with The KB Studio to remodel
your kitchen
or bathroom involves
our thorough 3d-s Design - discover, design, deliver and satisfy.
Discover
The discovery process is the all important first phase
of your remodel. Discovery typically involves a home consultation, and the
“discovery” works
two ways:
- Working
together, we
discover what
your vision,
needs and priorities are and what
it is you want
to achieve from your project.
- You
discover whether
our skill set
and capabilities
match your needs and project.
Part of the discovery phase involves a detailed and well articulated
Needs Analysis.
This involves asking many questions,
and allows us to discover what
you want, why you want it and what your priorities are. The more specific
and detailed the answers are (don’t worry, we will help
you with this) the better we are able to develop a design and plan that you’ll love.
We offer a Free Home Consultation with our designer who will be able to examine the current space and get a feel for the project (this is impossible to acheive from our showroom).
We may even
develop a concept
or two with you (get ready to play an active part in this)
to get a feel
for the process
and your style.

Thanks for your help in laying out the new kitchen in my “fix & flip”. It was helpful to see your various drawings from different angles in choosing the cabinets that I thought would appeal to the broadest spectrum of potential buyers. I think the kitchen looks great. The house is now under contract—to the first people to walk in and see it.

Design
Once we move through our discovery phase, then we
start the design process. We verify the results with you and determine if you would like to work with The KB Studio. Then we start your personalized design process.
Design is a collaborative process that helps clarify what you like and don’t like in terms of space planning, products and other aspects of design.
The Design phase involves:
- Visiting
showrooms to
spark ideas
and show our
clients real
life products
and design
elements they
may be interested
in. Some
of these
showrooms
aren’t
necessarily
available
to the general
public.
- Making
use of color
and materials
samples that
show exactly
how something
will look in
your home. May use materials in a unique way to blend the various colors or textures so that the whole room works well together and looks great – and not like everyone else’s
-
Computer aided rendering
tools and drawings
that can help
you visualize
the "intangible" design
we’re
creating. We
show and explain,
in as much
detail as possible,
exactly how
something will
look in your
home. We also discuss the pros and cons of the various options.
- Throughout the design phase
we perform Budget Reviews to make sure we are within the established budget
No decision or order will be made without your explicit approval. This keeps you in total control and avoids surprises. Once you've made your final selections and the design is finalized –it’s
time for us to deliver!
Deliver
The delivery process is either getting the product to your
door if you’ve arranged for your own installation, or
getting it installed, constructed and completely finished off
for you. We offer Turn Key project management as well.
Quality Control measures we take during the delivery process:
A survey
that addresses
all of the
typical issues
involved in
the construction
process. We
ask things
such as:
- Technical and Fit Review - this is a critical check performed by a project coordinator that makes sure your plan and all of its elements (cabinets, counters, appliance, etc) will fit together, and function correctly and as planned.
-
A Pre-Installation survey that addresses all of the typical issues involved in theconstruction process. We ask things such as:
- Which bathrooms
can tradesman use,
or do we need
to rent a port-a-john?
- Which doors
or entranceways
can workers use?
- What time can
workers come,
and when do they
need to be out?
- Do you have
pets?
Each
question is designed
to allow us to
fit within your
lifestyle and schedule to minimize interruptions
and inconvenience. (click here to see our initial Kitchen Needs Analysis and/or click here to see our initial Bathroom Needs Analysis).
A face-to-face
introduction (when possible)
of our subcontractors
or installers
before they
come to work
at your home.
We don't want our clients having “strangers” knocking
at their door
at 7 in the morning!
Advance
notification
of how the
work we’ll
be doing will
affect your
life.
We’ll
inform you
well ahead
of time if
the electricity
in the kitchen
will be out
for 3 days,
and we’ll
even help you
set up a microwave
in the living
room if you
like!
A
single point
of contact—your
designer!
This
means if you
have any questions
about any aspect
of the delivery
process, there’s
only one person
you’ll
ever need to
call. A
single point
of contact
makes the delivery
process very
convenient
for our clients. However, you are welcome to the project coordinator or the owner as well.

After the initial consultation with Jan, I felt she understood my desires for the changes I wanted in our 10 year old kitchen. She listened to me and the ideas she had were excellent from rearranging pieces of furniture to paint ideas. She is easy to work with and has a positive attitude.

“Sign
off” throughout
the delivery
process to
make sure we
understand
exactly what
it is you expect.
Signing
off doesn’t
mean you can’t
ever change
your mind about
something,
it simply ensures
you know exactly
what we’re
doing, when
we’re
doing it and
what it will
involve.
A project
management
team that double
checks every
order we place.
This
team makes
sure what we’re
ordering "makes
sense," that
nothing’s
been omitted
or overlooked,
and that we’re
ordering the
right colors,
styles and
materials.
Our project
coordinator also
arranges
delivery schedules
so products
and materials
are delivered
at exactly
the right time
for installation.
This helps
us maintain
the schedule.
3d-s Design is a disciplined approach to your project that helps guarantee you'll be thrilled with what we deliver!
