How does the custom kitchen process work?
A custom kitchen usually goes through seven steps: a conversation about needs, an on-site survey, a layout proposal, a 3D visualization, a dimensioned technical drawing, selection of materials and hardware, and finally production, transport and installation. Production only starts after written approval of the technical documentation.

1. A conversation about how you cook
First we define how you cook, how many people use the kitchen, how much landing space you need and which appliances you plan. Those answers shape the layout more than style does.
2. On-site survey
We measure the real situation: widths, heights, wall deviations, service positions, window sills and thresholds. A designer's floor plan is useful, but production dimensions are taken on site.
3. Layout proposal
The layout is developed around the fridge–sink–hob relationship, with landing space on both sides. Variants are tested at this stage before details are worked out.
4. 3D visualization
The visualization shows proportions, tones and the relationship with the rest of the space. It supports the decision on appearance but is not a production document.
5. Dimensioned technical drawing
The technical drawing contains modules, dimensions, heights and the positions of appliances, connections and hardware. It is the document the kitchen is produced and installed from, which is why it is checked carefully before approval.
6. Materials, hardware and appliances
Decors, worktop, edging, handles, hinges, runners and internal fittings are selected. Appliances are confirmed before production because their dimensions determine the modules.
7. Production, transport and installation
After approval the elements are produced, delivered, carried in, installed and adjusted. Front alignment, hardware operation and appliance connections are then checked.
The most common mistakes
- Choosing appliances after the drawings are made
- Planning a kitchen without an on-site survey
- Ignoring extractor and ventilation routing
- Too little landing space beside the hob
- Changes after production has started
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to produce a custom kitchen?
The lead time depends on project complexity, selected materials, component availability, drawing approval and the current production schedule. An estimated deadline is defined after the final technical documentation and material selection.
Can I change the design after approving the drawings?
Changes are possible, but after approval they affect the deadline and the price because materials are ordered and elements enter production.
