Before you order, it's worth checking the details.
Many kitchen, wardrobe and bathroom projects look good on paper — but fail in everyday use.
Layout, clearances, storage logic and joinery details are often overlooked until it's too late.
-
Poor workflow and awkward layouts
-
Insufficient storage and unusable cabinetry
-
Clearance issues with appliances and doors
-
Joinery details that increase cost without adding function
A professional design review helps identify these issues before manufacturing begins.

A structured, independent review of your kitchen, wardrobe or bathroom design — before you commit to manufacturing or installation and costly mistakes.
When a design review is essential
Even well-presented designs can hide functional issues that only become obvious after installation — when changes are costly, stressful or no longer possible.
