~ Initial Design During our initial meeting we will discuss ideas
for your new cabinetry. Aamodt’s Millwork &
Cabinetry will offer suggestions and other
insightful ideas based on NKBA standards and experience.
The initial meeting is critical for us to
develop an understanding of your design ideas
and to answer any questions you may have
concerning the design of your cabinetry It is
always helpful to have an initial sketch or
picture of the cabinetry you have in mind or
an architectural drawing.
Your estimate is based on hard facts and is
NOT our best guess. We use a computer aided
estimating program which offers an extremely
accurate cost for your cabinetry design needs. Unlike
other cabinet manufacturers, we develop our
price based on every piece of hardwood,
hardware, moulding, options chosen, and square
foot of material used for your project. We will
also divide your project into rooms or areas so
you can better understand the cost of each
design and its components. Multiple scenarios
can also be developed representing various door
styles, finish combinations, or wood species. The
largest expense for any cabinetry project is the
style of the doors and drawer fronts. Aamodt’s
Millwork & Cabinetry offers hundreds of
different door styles with matching drawer
fronts from the industry's leading manufacturers. The type and
quality of the finish, decorative moulding, or
trim and the selected countertop of your choice make up
the other components of your design. Look
beyond price when comparing your investment.
While price can be a major consideration, the
lowest price cabinet may not always be the best
value. All cabinets are not created equal as is
the case with most things. There is a wide range
of quality and value between manufacturers.
~
Design Drawing Once you have reviewed the initial estimate, we
would then have you sign the estimate papers,
collect a design fee (credited back to you upon
completion of your cabinetry), and then
get started on the computer aided drawings
(CAD). During this stage of the project we
will produce CAD drawings with elevation and 3-D
perspective views for your review. We will also
take accurate measurements to ensure your new
cabinets will fit perfectly as well as verify
locations of plumbing, electrical, and
appliances. Often complications or location
conflicts will be discovered that need to be
corrected. We will make any necessary changes to
the drawings at this time.
When we reach this phase of the project we
will adjust the initial estimate based on any
changes you have requested. When all
specifications, site preparation, and design
revisions are complete we will then have you
sign the final proposal which outlines the
payment schedule. Aamodt’s Millwork &
Cabinetry will provide you with the final floor
plans and elevations for each wall or room of
cabinetry. At this time we request the deposit
to place your project into the production
schedule and ensure the delivery date.
~
Schedule The schedule for any project is typically a
moving target. Whether your project is a remodel
or new construction, Aamodt’s Millwork &
Cabinetry will need to be in contact with the
contractor to coordinate our activities. Many
decisions are usually made throughout your
project so open communication with the
contractor or sub-contractors will help ensure a
mutually effective decision. If your
project is to be completed in phases, we will
need to know this so that manufacturing and
delivery of your cabinetry can be scheduled.
~ Engineering
and Manufacturing Project engineering is the process of
transforming your designs into a project that
can be efficiently manufactured. During this
phase we confirm that there are no deviations in
dimensions or design from what is expected. We
will also buy all the materials that are
required to complete your project. The
doors and drawer fronts are purchased first as
they have the longest lead-time. Our
manufacturing process is centered on the
technique of Flow Manufacturing, the output of
one work station becomes the input for the next
work station. Each process is evaluated for
quality and subjected to continuous improvement.
This allows us to be an efficient and reliable
manufacturer of our high-end cabinetry.
~ Installation During this time all pieces we have manufactured
come together to make your dream a reality. We
will deliver the cabinetry and begin the process
of installation on the agreed date. The
installation process requires tremendous skill,
patience and communication between our
installer, the homeowner and the contractor or
sub- contractors.
Depending on the complexity of your
project, installation may take several days for
completion. We will always work hard to ensure
that each step of the installation process is
performed with quality and excellence.
Once your cabinetry is set into place, the
countertop fabricators measure for your
countertop installation.
