Our Process Starts With You!

The planning process is designed to help our customers create their dream space with as much ease as possible. We are a “one stop shop” showroom offering cabinetry, countertops, decorative hardware, plumbing fixtures, tile and installation services.

Complimentary Consultation:

The process begins with meeting the client in the showroom or, if a site measure is needed, at the job site. This meeting is to determine the scope of work for the project; type of space being renovated or built, specific work, and materials. MacLaren will be responsible for style preferences, time frame for the project to be complete, and budget.

Measures taken on site at the first consultation

Preliminary Design & Presentation:

Once our designers have enough information, they can create a preliminary design for the space, make material recommendations, and provide rough budget numbers.

Floor plans are drawn and discussed

Plans will then be presented for review in the showroom where there is access to material samples and displays for reference. Revisions can then be made based on discussions between designer and client during this presentation.

Revisions are made from computerized elevations  

Ordering:

Cabinetry is often the material with the longest lead time and therefore is usually the most important item to finalize and order. At this time final site measurements should be completed and appliance selections and plumbing fixtures should be finalized as they play a major role in cabinet layout and clearances.
Once plans are approved and a deposit is received, materials are ordered. The designer will present the client and installer with a “job binder” complete with detailed drawings, cabinet orders, material specifications and all other useful information regarding the project.

These are colored computer renderings of the rooms to be completed

Countertop Selection:

At any point during the process our showroom and slab yard is available for inspiration. We have an endless selection of colors, and onsite you can choose from thousands of slabs in person. Meet with our sales team or your designer to guide you through our vast collection that is updated every day!

Install & Follow Up:

MacLaren Kitchen & Bath will remain in close contact with you throughout the entire  process. We make sure you are satisfied from start to finish and then follow up to make sure you are all settled in.
