Design Development

Let’s Meet

Before any design begins we want to learn about you, your lifestyle, your needs and the dreams you have for your space. To determine the right design for your home we’ll discuss how the room functions now as well as your plans for the future. Together we’ll determine your style likes and dislikes. We’ll review appliances that will accompany the cabinetry, as well as wood species and design and layout. Every detail will be considered, door styles, moldings and finish, and hardware.

3D Rendering and Detailed Proposal

Within two weeks of the initial meeting, your designer will create a preliminary architectural plan. This 3D rendering of the floor plan will illustrate cabinet layout and elevations. Details such as doors, drawers, hinges and other hardware will also be addressed, along with their associated costs. We will review the design and the pricing with you and answer any questions you have.

Moving Forward

In this final step toward making your dream cabinetry a reality, a retainer is required. Then you will meet again with your designer and finalize the drawings. We will take measurements at your home, and once you sign off on the final drawings you will move on to the next phase.

Completed and approved…

…drawings are released to the Shop for fabrication. The heads of each department meet with the designers to review the project and plans, discuss any unique situation or need, and generally ensure that all areas are to SEMTA standards. Hardwood is milled to create face frames, doors, drawer fronts, and panels. High quality premium grade prefinished maple plywood is cut for cabinet boxes.

Assembly begins for face frames, doors, drawer fronts and boxes. After assembly, face frames, doors and drawer fronts are hand sanded and rubbed for a smooth protective surface. Wood that is to be painted will be primed. Face frames are attached to the boxes and moved to the staging area.

To ensure a smooth installation, your entire kitchen is set up in our staging area. Floor units are set and wall units are hung. Doors and drawers are fitted to openings and hinged in place. Slides, drawers and specialty interiors are installed. As part of our strict quality control, all work is thoroughly inspected before it is delivered.
