The cabinet layout and fixture locations remain unchanged in the authors’ fast-track renovations. A restricted menu of swap-out options simplifies both planning and pricing.
Final selections and price transfer automatically to a fixed-price contract form that is printed and signed in the clients’ home.
Working from a rough sketch of the existing kitchen, the salesperson measures the layout and discusses minor alterations and simple changes with the client.
A fully detailed custom spreadsheet program lists and tracks all options, including cabinet type and style, plumbing fixtures, countertops, backsplash, and flooring. The program includes provisions for existing conditions and updates cost as selections are made or changed.
