Building Work and Kitchen Extension Projects
Building Works
Over the years, Codsall Kitchen Studio has built up many proven, trade partnerships, helping us to provide the convenience of a ‘one-stop-shop’ service. This not only ensures that exacting levels of quality are adhered to, but also, budgets and time schedules too.
Therefore, Codsall Kitchen studio can undertake building works such as wall removals as well as all necessary trades, to include plumbing, electrics, plastering, flooring and general decoration. Should you require, Codsall Kitchen Studio can even undertake a complete kitchen extension!
Kitchen Extensions
Like any building project, a kitchen extension is a big undertaking and therefore it needs to be approached in the right way to ensure:
A complete - project managed approach - from design through to finished ‘turn key’ solution
A fully coordinated design solution - from room layout, furniture style, lighting and all surface finishes
Budgets and deadlines are adhered to - ensuring no nasty surprises
The highest possible levels of fit and finish - for the perfect, uncompromised result
4 X Practical Tips - Should you Choose Your Own Builder:
1. Involve Your Codsall Kitchen Studio Early On
Codsall Kitchen Studio need to liaise with both architects and builders early on. Working together ensures that all electrics and plumbing (and the right kind of electrics and plumbing!) are installed in exactly the right places – in accordance with the best possible kitchen design/ layout.
To try and ‘retro’ fit certain services, due to a lack of communication, leads to additional costs and often – a compromised finish.
2. Experience Delivers Best Use of Space
Unlike Codsall Kitchen Studio, neither your architect or builder are experts in kitchen design… and how to use kitchen space effectively!
Codsall Kitchen Studio has over 60 years - specific design experience, ensuring that your kitchen works efficiently, in terms of both ergonomics. We will ensure that your kitchen design embodies the best feel of space and light to achieve the perfect lifestyle solution and ultimate levels of satisfaction.
Often, it’s not necessarily a matter of maximum square feet; it’s more about the materials and finishes that have been used to help achieve a feeling of light and space. The right kind of finishes to cabinetry, floors and work-tops really do make all the difference!
3. Get Several Building Quotes
At Codsall Kitchen Studio we are experienced enough to know exactly what’s required and can get an accurate, realistic idea of what your project should cost.
However, for those wishing to use their own builders, we recommend getting a few building quotes to enable you to gain a ‘true’ feel of the costs involved. It also gives you the opportunity to gain some valuable tips which you can eventually cross reference with your chosen builder.
Make sure that any recommendations are recent and remember, if something seems too good to be true - then it usually is!
4. Set a Realistic Project Budget!
This is another good reason to involve Codsall Kitchen Studio early on - in the planning process.
Simply having a ‘guesstimate’ sum for the kitchen can lead to the build itself running away with the budget, leading to a compromised result.
We recommend having at least a 20% contingency, within your overall project budget, since more often than not, there are unforeseen issues.
