Design Process
 

Bath & Kitchen Creations approaches each design as a unique challenge. Variables such as available space, materials, lighting, client desires, and budget are all evaluated to produce a superior, and highly livable design. We work closely with each client to determine his or her specific needs, and lend our expert advice and years of experience to help create the ideal design. Since we are a family owned company, you can rest assured that our team will be available every step of the way to address your concerns and ensure that you are completely satisfied with the end result.

Project Outline

Most projects begin with the desire for a more updated look or often as a result of malfunctioning appliances or leaky plumbing. During the initial consultation, our designers will begin discussions about your project, your goals, and your budget. They will explain the options most feasible for your project, as well as make recommendations based on years of experience in kitchen and bath layout. If there are significant structural, plumbing, or other issues that must be addressed they may be discussed at this time. Overall dimensions will be measured on-site, and the underlying sub-structures (framing, sub-floor, plumbing, electrical, etc.) will be inspected for soundness whenever possible.


Design and Estimate

We maintain a firm commitment to excellence in design for our clients. An estimate/design agreement enables the designer to devote the necessary time to research and develop a detailed plan for your new kitchen and/or bath. The retainer for this agreement enables the designer and draftsman to layout a plan to remodel your space and to produce detailed floor plans, conceptual drawings and elevations. Materials will be specified and a complete job estimate will be created.





Design and Agreement Signing

After the completed design and estimate are approved by the client, an agreement detailing all costs, along with start and completion date, etc. will be presented to the client for signature. Once the deposit is received, orders are placed for cabinetry, counter tops, plumbing fixtures, tile etc. In the event the client requests a change during the project, a change-order addendum will be issued and signed, to insure that the client's wishes are met.


Design Selections

For large and small projects alike, we encourage clients to make an appointment to visit our Dulles Virginia selection center. Our selection center contains several displays showcasing various cabinet styles, stain colors, flooring, counter surfaces and finishing options. Hundreds of samples centralized in one location allow clients to make side-by-side color and finish comparisons for their final design choices.



Work Begins

Most remodeling projects begin with the demolition of the existing space. We realize that this process can be very disruptive to busy households and we make every effort to minimize the impact the project will have on a "working" home. We do our best to accommodate your needs and schedule, as well as maintain a clean and safe work site. Depending on the scope of work being done, construction may last from one day to several weeks. We strive to schedule all projects for the smoothest completion to avoid scheduling conflicts between various parties and to maintain timely completion of the project.


Warranty and Support

Upon job completion, we are always available for support, questions, or any concerns you may have. Our installation work is guaranteed and our ultimate goal is your complete satisfaction.
