When thinking about a new project within your home, think about what you would like to achieve. This is extremely important to get the desired result. You need to plan each and every stage with the required trades I.e. Electricians, Plumbers, Plasterers, Carpenters, Tillers and Decorators.

There are 6 basic steps to creating your dream installation whether it be your kitchen, Bathroom or bedroom and they are listed below.

  1. Measurements - It is very important to take accurate measurements. This needs to be a basic drawing of you room with measurements depicting where doors and windows are situated, where any obstructions are i.e. radiators, nibs in walls, alcoves ect.

  2. Design - Make a basic design of what you would like to achieve, all this needs to be is some basic sketches of what you would like your room to look like. They will help when choosing your product.

  3. Research - Choose your product wisely ,there are many company's out there and the choice is endless,  and don't compromise quality over cost as it will need to stand the test of time.

  4. Final design - The design when all the products have been chosen and fit within the parameters of your measurements. This ideally needs to be an accurate scaled drawing of the final layout of your project as this will help your installers to complete the installation quickly and efficiently.

  5. Installation Schedule - This is a basic list of the different elements of installing your new products, starting with the removal of any existing fitted furniture, any electrics that are required as these will need to be carried out before any finish plastering, fitting of your new furniture, tiling and finally the decorating.
