A careful measure and inspection of walls, floors, plumbing, wiring and ventilation so the plan fits the house you actually have.
A kitchen plan is only as good as the measurements behind it. Walls that look square are often a quarter inch off, floors slope, ceilings dip and windows sit just far enough from corners to make a cabinet run awkward. Older Nashville homes in particular hide surprises: out-of-plumb walls, early wiring, patched ducts and finished materials from several eras. A careful site evaluation catches those issues before they become change orders.
We measure every wall, window, door, ceiling height and appliance location, then record the position of plumbing, electrical panels, outlets, switches, vents and ducts. We check floor levels, look for signs of past leaks and note anything that could change scope, such as a load-bearing wall or an undersized panel. You receive an accurate drawing and a short list of items to watch, so design and pricing start from facts instead of assumptions.
Walls, windows, doors, heights and openings are measured so cabinets and counters fit the first time.
