Our Design-Build
NYC Process
Free Home Design Consultation
It All Starts Here
Meet with a certified designer at no cost and no obligation. Your free design consultation can take place in our NYC showroom or in the comfort of your own home. This is your opportunity to share your vision, ask questions, and receive expert recommendations tailored to your space, needs, and budget. During the consultation, we’ll discuss layout possibilities, design direction, and next steps, helping you clearly understand our process and services before making any commitment.
Labor Proposal & Design
Now Comes The Fun Part - Creating Your Vision
After your consultation, you’ll meet with our design team to review a detailed labor and design proposal based on your project goals. We’ll walk you through every aspect of the estimate so you understand exactly what’s included. Once you choose to move forward with NYKB, our designers will create a complete design plan including custom cabinetry, fixtures, finishes, appliances, and materials. We then produce a full 3D rendering with precise dimensions and specifications, allowing you to see your renovation before construction begins. Unlimited design revisions are included until you’re completely satisfied.
Ordering Materials & Building Approval
Preparing for Remodeling
Before we finalize an order, we ensure that all the materials and products you’ve approved for the project will work in your space. Then we track all the materials to the construction site or storage before being delivered to the construction site. If we order something that doesn’t fit or arrives defective, we will correct it and replace it at no additional cost. In addition, we have an in-house expeditor that handles all communication and correspondence with your building management to get approval for the renovation. Therefore, we will take care of all the paperwork and save you a big headache.
Scheduling & Walkthrough
The Final Countdown
The final countdown NYKB will assign a personal project manager for your project, who will supervise every phase of your renovation. He will be in constant contact with you throughout the project. First, to keep you updated on what is happening and coming up next. He’s there to answer any questions and listen to your concerns. Upon completion, he will ensure that everything is to your satisfaction, on budget, and on time. We will cover the construction schedule to give you a clear picture of each project phase. Finally, your project manager and designer will do a walk-through before the construction begins to answer your questions and address any concerns.
Construction
Now It All Comes Together
While we do everything we can to protect the rest of your home from dust, we advise you to remove anything of value before the construction phase begins. Depending on the extent of the renovation, we may advise you to find a temporary place to live or work. As for the construction, be assured that our crew will remain throughout, and your project manager will be there to supervise everything. He will also address any issues, keep the work on schedule, and ensure open communication with all the professionals involved in your project.
Project Completion
Your Dream Home is Ready
As construction nears completion, your project manager prepares a punch list to address any remaining details. Our design build contractors team resolves all items to ensure the final result meets NYKB’s quality standards and your expectations. Once approved, we document your finished project and activate your ten-year labor warranty. If anything related to our workmanship arises within that period, we’ll take care of it according to warranty guidelines.
