DESIGN |
The first step in any project is to figure out how you would like the end result to look. The best way to accomplish that is through design. The design process is the way to turn your thoughts and dreams into a well-organized working plan. It is divided into two separate parts. The first is space planning – laying out and locating walls, cabinets, furniture, fixtures, electrical lines, switches, outlets, etc. The second part is selecting and specifying materials and decorative objects.
In many projects, it is essential to design and provide detailed Autocad Design drawings to get project approval from your building’s management company, co-op board or the city building department. A detailed design is also required to place the materials order. For example, a design is essential for a kitchen project. Without one, the installers would not know which cabinet is placed at which location. Because there are countless additional cases that require floor plans and drawings, space planning is recommended as the first step of every project.
Once space planning has been completed, the next step is to select materials and decorative objects. Browse through magazines and visiting showrooms is a good way to get ideas. Materials selection is usually enjoyable because it allows you to bring your personal style to the project. We recommend working with a professional remodeling consultant since he or she can offer advice on styles, colors and textures and how they work together. Creating a harmonious blend and balance is important in achieving a satisfying end result. Another important aspect of the selection process is making sure every product is the correct technical fit and size for your plan. For example, the faucet must fit the sink, the sink must fit the vanity and the vanity must fit your space.
Your remodeling consultant will help make sure you are satisfied with your design. He or she can provide detailed plans, elevations and renderings to answer any requirements by you or your building’s management company, co-op board or the city building department. In addition, your remodeling consultant will insure that your materials work technically - as well as visually – with your design. |
