How long does a typical Kitchens project last?

While each project is unique, there are some typical times to expect for your general design and construction schedule.

Consultation

1 - 2 Weeks

First, our team leader will review your goals and present a design proposal. The design cost is generally eight to ten percent of your construction estimate.

Initial Design Review

2 - 4 Months

Next, our designers will ask about your overall goals for the home, including whether the renovation will cover both the interior and exterior. They will also inquire about your preferences for an open plan, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms needed, and if new windows and doors are required.

Design Development

2 - 4 Months

Our designers will propose selections based on your inspirations. Cabinetry is the main selection that sets the stage. Other key selections that contribute to a cohesive look: appliances, countertops, backsplash, faucet, sink, lighting, and cabinet hardware.

Construction ( Typical )

3 - 8 Months

Once we secure the permit, we will start demolition and move into framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall etc. The punch list of small items is the last segment. The timeline to completion depends on structural complexity and if an addition is involved. After that, you will be enjoying your beautifully renovated home.

Total Project Time : 7-16

FAQs

How Should I Pay for My Renovation?

When you’re planning a remodeling project, start thinking early about how you’ll finance the project. The scale of the project that you can undertake will be directly influenced by the amount of money available. You can complete a Feasibility Study to see if the project can be completed within your budget. If your remodeling plans are ambitious or expensive, you can consider creating a Master Plan to complete your project in phases–perhaps over a period of years. Different methods of paying for your remodeling project include cash, a home equity line of credit, cash-out refinancing, and loan to future value.

What is Design Build?

Design Build is a business model for the execution of architectural and construction projects. This model puts both architecture and construction in-house in one company that is responsible for the entire process. Design Build is a commonly used term in the industry, but not all design build firms are the same. Every firm is set up a little differently. At Landis, we have architecture, interior design, landscape design, permitting, construction project management, carpentry, plumbing and electrical all in-house. We have designed our model to provide a truly full-service experience for our clients.

How Long Does a Renovation Take?

The answer to this question will be variable depending on the scopes of work you are looking to complete, as well as the jurisdictions having input over your home's renovation. Generally, our renovation projects take between 10-14 months. Roughly half of this time is spent in design and permitting, and the other half is active construction.

What Will My Project Cost?

There are several variables that contribute to the cost of a construction project. At Landis, our architectural fees are 12% of the estimated construction costs. In addition to this fee, depending on the scope of work for your project, there may be additional fees associated with the design and permitting of your project (engineering, historic approval, etc.) For a more detailed list of construction costs, by project.

What Permits Will My Project Need?

The permits that will be required to complete your project will depend on the scopes of work that you are looking to complete and the jurisdictions in which your home lies. There are several different permitting considerations for residential construction projects including but not limited to zoning, historic, CFA, DOEE, DDOT, etc. At Landis, we have a team of in-house permitting experts who will manage the entire permit process on your project.
