Phase 1: Preliminary Planning & Pricing

• Schedule an appointment in our showroom with one of our designers to discuss your preference in style, specific needs, and wish list for your new kitchen.
• If you have plans, bring them in or transmit to us via email. If not, a pencil sketch of your space will usually suffice. Show approximate size of room, door and window locations, and ceiling height.
• Images of your space, either print or digital are very helpful.
• Following your visit to our showroom, we often schedule a time in your home to confirm measurements and other details.
• An estimate will be prepared based on these initial discussions. This estimate will give you a price range. Detail and design options will affect most estimates; please advise us if you wish them included in your project. The final price may vary as we discuss your project in further detail. It will be based on the style of cabinetry you have chosen, the finish and internal accessories.

Phase 2: Conceptual Design Development

• To proceed into creative design and space planning work, Cooper-Pacific Kitchens requires the completion of a Design Agreement amounting to approximately 10% of the initial estimate. This amount is fully applied to your purchase of cabinetry.
• In the Design Development phase we work with you to investigate different layouts, review finish and hardware options in detail, and make certain that each of the cabinets is placed and equipped exactly as you want it. We will show you the latest storage innovations, and incorporate those that you desire. We work through all of the factors to enable you to make choices that best suit your needs.
• Site visits may also occur at this stage depending on the specifics of your project. We prefer to measure your space and review the mechanical locations. If it is neither feasible nor possible to measure the space, we will use architect’s specifications to arrive at an accurate layout and design.
• We also work with you to select appliances. We have many of the latest models on display, and can help you choose the proper appliance for your needs and lifestyle. Appliance specifications are submitted with the kitchen order so that appropriate cabinets and panels will match.
• To arrive at the most accurate estimate for your project, we will need some time to discuss style, finish options, accessories, and level of detail desired. We can include a standard accessory package which includes many typically requested features including roll-out shelves, cutlery and tray dividers, spice storage, etc. We will produce design options for your space based on your needs and preferred styles.
• Detailed floor plans, elevations and pricing will be presented to you once a final concept has been chosen.

Phase 3: Production of cabinetry

• When the final price and plans are approved, we will enter into a Purchase Agreement for production of your order. The Design Fee paid will apply towards the purchase of the cabinetry order. A fifty percent deposit is required to place your cabinetry order into production. Site measurements are often re-confirmed at this time. Your plans will then be reviewed by a project manager and processed for production. Depending on the specific nature of your project, a mechanical / electrical plan may be created for your space as well.
• Once the order is placed into production with the manufacturer, changes are no longer possible as the factory immediately requisitions and cuts the material.
• Once production is complete, we will deliver the finished cabinetry to your home.
