Our Design Process
At Craftsman Interiors, we believe thoughtful design is the foundation of exceptional joinery. Our process is transparent, collaborative, and focused on bringing your vision to life with precision and care.
A True Design Partnership
Unlike the "free pitch" approach common in the industry—where commission-driven salespeople provide hasty designs with minimal thought—we offer a comprehensive design service that truly understands how you live and work.
Our design service is a paid offering, ensuring you receive expert planning and tailored solutions—not just a sales pitch. This investment includes comprehensive 2D and 3D drawings, giving you detailed documentation you own, whether you proceed with us or explore other options. These professional documents allow you to easily obtain comparable quotes from other cabinetmakers with minimal effort—simply email the designs to receive accurate pricing based on identical specifications.
Your Journey from Concept to Construction
Initial Contact — Fill out our contact form with details about your project. We'll respond promptly to discuss your vision and provide a preliminary estimate to ensure alignment with your budget before proceeding.
Complimentary Consultation — We'll meet you on-site to discuss project goals, aesthetic preferences, functionality requirements, and take precise measurements. This conversation helps us understand the full scope of your needs.
Design Service — Based on the complexity of your project, we'll provide a design service estimate. This investment ensures you receive thoughtful, detailed design rather than rushed solutions.
Preliminary Design & Online Review — We'll develop initial plans and drawings and host an online meeting to look through our 3D model to review them together. This collaborative session allows us to gather your feedback before we make necessary adjustments.
In-Person Design Finalization — We meet in person to review the refined designs, ensuring every detail meets your expectations before finalising.
Comprehensive Documentation — You'll receive detailed 2D and 3D drawings that clearly communicate your project. These professional documents are yours to keep, even if you choose to seek additional quotes.
Production & Installation — Once the design is approved, we transition to crafting and installing your custom joinery with the same attention to detail that defined the design process.
