Design & Pre-Construction Services
At GLR Kitchen and Bath Design, our Design & Pre-Construction services are the foundation of a successful kitchen or bathroom remodel. This phase defines the full scope of work, finalizes the design, and establishes accurate pricing before construction begins, eliminating costly surprises later.
This service is ideal for homeowners who want a clear plan, realistic budget, and build-ready documentation prior to starting construction.
What the Design & Pre-Construction Phase Includes
Based on your project scope, our Design & Pre-Construction services may include:
- Field measurements and existing conditions verification
- Space planning and layout development
- Detailed custom cabinetry design and cabinet layouts
- Coordination of finishes and major material selections
- 3D renderings or visual representations (as applicable)
- Coordination of structural and trade considerations
- A clearly defined scope of work
- A detailed, itemized construction estimate
The level of detail provided is tailored to your project’s complexity and goals.
Why We Require a Design & Pre-Construction Retainer
The Design & Pre-Construction Retainer secures our time, expertise, and resources to properly plan your project. This phase ensures decisions are made intentionally, pricing is accurate, and expectations are aligned before construction begins.
-
The retainer is based on estimated design and planning hours
-
Payment is due in full upon signing
-
The retainer is non-refundable and applied toward professional services rendered
This process protects both the client and the project by eliminating assumptions and guesswork.
What’s Not Included
Design & Pre-Construction services do not include construction labor, materials, permits, engineering, or third-party consultants unless specifically stated. Construction services are provided under a separate Construction Agreement.
What Happens Next
Once the Design & Pre-Construction phase is complete, we present a finalized scope of work and construction proposal. At that point, you may choose to move forward into construction under a separate agreement.

FAQ
1- Does completing design and pre-construction require me to build with GLR?
No. Once the design and pre-construction phase is complete, you may choose whether or not to proceed into construction under a separate agreement.
2- How long does the design and pre-construction phase take?
Timelines vary based on project size and complexity, but most projects take several weeks to complete. We establish expectations and milestones at the start of the process.
3- Why do I need a design and pre-construction phase?
Because construction without a defined plan leads to change orders, budget overruns, and delays. The design and pre-construction phase establishes the full scope of work, final layout, material selections, and accurate pricing before construction begins—so expectations are clear from day one.
