So, why are we the right choice for your kitchen and bath renovations?
As a member of the National Kitchen and Bath Association with a Floor Plans and Specifications Specialist Badge, we have a focused overview of the industry standards, usage, and variations for kitchen and bathroom floor plans and specifications. This designation reviews industry standards, usage, and variations of current kitchen and bathroom floor plans and specifications. The Floor Plan and Specifications Badge further highlights standardized symbols, elements, and the necessary components found on floor plan drawings, and how computer applications are used to create them. Emphasis is also placed on how and when to use different measuring tools in order to generate an accurate plan. Some Kitchen spaces just feel good, and you can't put your finger on why.
Chances are, it's because everything is where it should be: Handles are easy to reach, drawers open unobstructed, there's light where you need it.
The key is knowing the right numbers.
