Q: How long will my design project take?
A: For design projects, such as kitchens, baths, and whole-home remodels, plan on:
– Design & Development: 1-2 months (Larger addition-type projects can take much longer).
Work with your designer. Give the creative process the time it deserves. Are you decisive? Do you answer calls and return messages promptly? Are you prepared for meetings? The more responsive, engaged and prepared you are, the shorter the design process.
– Ordering and Delivery of Materials and Fixtures: 3-12 months
While some materials are readily available, many fixtures and appliances are still delayed due to supply shortages.
– Total Project Time:
Project dependent—patience and flexibility required! Many materials that were once readily available are having unexpected short-term shortages from week to week. Causing projects to take longer than expected.
Pro Tip: Once the design is complete, there is no rush to start construction—but do keep in mind lead times of 3-12 months to get all of the materials, fixtures and/or appliances. You don’t want to start certain projects like kitchens without having all your appliances.
