An architectural office takes care of the kitchen transformation and additional renovations in and out of the house. The architect carries out the work on request as a general contractor.
3 tips for choosing a kitchen partner
Trust is a sine qua non for choosing the kitchen partner. This is established from the consultation meeting when the kitchen manufacturer, the design office for kitchen planning or the architect takes the time and listens to the wishes of the customers.
Quality: For drawer fronts and drawer runners, you can compare furniture models from different kitchen manufacturers. The quality of the assembly is just as important. However, this can only be seen in reference objects.
The price offered by the kitchen manufacturers can only be compared if the offer relates to the same version of the front and the covering and the interior equipment such as the corner solutions, the number of drawers and the models of device are the same. It is only necessary to compare the net price and not the reductions granted. If you collaborate with a kitchen consulting firm or architects, they bring them back to a common denominator to allow them to be compared. It is advisable to be careful if one is pushed to sign during the first council or if one is lured by reductions.
