1. Recommendations and Accreditations:
The first step in finding your ideal kitchen manufacturer is to find one that comes highly recommended. Companies who have worked to set a particular standard in workmanship and service will continue working to maintain this reputation with all their clients. Ask friends, family, or a neighbourhood social media group for their recommendations. Of this list, find out which companies have accreditations for their work quality and show dedication to customer service.
When looking for a kitchen manufacturer in South Africa, a company accredited with the Kitchen Specialists Association (KSA) provides quality workmanship. If you will require an architect for your kitchen renovation, be sure to choose one from The South African Institute of Architects (SAIA) list of accredited companies.
2. Previous Jobs and Portfolios:
Ask the companies in your shortlist to send you examples of their previous work completed or have a look at their portfolios. You want a kitchen manufacturer who shares your personal style of interior design and will be able to envision your dream kitchen. Some companies may specialise in a few particular styles, therefore finding one whose portfolio can work hand in hand with your vision will help you to find the right company for you.
3. Quotes:
When trying to find the right kitchen manufacturer for your project, asking for quotes from various companies can help you to stay on track with your budget. Some companies may be getting their supplies directly from the factory, which can help you save some money on the final product, while other companies may get their supplies from a second or third party. Remember, your budget plays a role which is as important as design and style in your decision.
4. Investigate their Showrooms:
Take the time to visit the showrooms of the companies on your short list. Not only will this help you to form a tangible idea on the type of materials they will use and the quality of work they are capable of, but you will also be able to meet the people you will be hiring and can start a solid relationship for client service.
5. References and Client Service:
Make sure to ask your kitchen manufacturers for a list of client references and call their past clients. When it comes to renovations, a large number of things can easily go wrong and you will want to make sure your manufacturer will be able to keep a level head and keep you informed throughout the entire process.
The end goal of a kitchen renovation is to have a beautiful, well-designed heart of the home that works with your lifestyle and doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg either. Ensuring that you find the right kitchen manufacturer for you will help to ensure an easy renovations process that doesn’t create further stress to you or your wallet.
