Step 1: Get to Know Your Space

��!�� "�� your space or fail to capture the best featuresof your home. When thinking about the space available for your kitchen, the aim is to identifyfeatures that will bring the room to life and im-prove your enjoyment of this important familyhub.

When looking for features around the room, consider things like natural light sources, where the best views are located, your major traf-�� #��relation to other parts of the house (especially if you have small children).

If you intend to make a structural change(such as removing a wall or adding a window),discuss this with a Licensed Builder beforeprogressing with your plans. You will need to determine if the structure you want to changeis load-bearing and safe to renovate.

Please note that for structural changes andnew home projects, we’ll need to know whoyou choose as your builder so we can work closely with them to complete your new kitchen. It’s important that we engage withyour builder early in the process.

Once you have a feel for the layout of the room, you may like to measure the area avail-able to you. If you are renovating rather thanbuilding, be sure to take as many ‘before’ photos as you can, then have them available� �� $�� !��%� � �� #�� #�� &�� !�� !�
