Kitchen layout redesign by a builder, entirely online
We go beyond a simple cabinet layout. We rethink how your kitchen works, including opening and moving walls, then deliver a 3D design, construction-ready drawings and an itemized cabinet quote. It starts with a design retainer that's credited toward your cabinetry.
What you get
- A reworked layout: better work zones, walkways, island placement and storage, not just new boxes in the old footprint
- Wall and opening changes: plans for removing, moving or widening walls and doorways, with structural walls flagged and beam/header needs noted
- 3D renderings so you can see the finished kitchen from several angles
- Floor plan and wall elevations with cabinet sizes your installer can build from
- An itemized quote listing every cabinet, panel, filler and molding — no mystery line items
- Side-by-side pricing in more than one cabinet line when it makes sense
- Builder review of appliance clearances, door swings, walkways and filler — the details that make or break an install
Why a builder-led design matters
Pretty renderings are easy. Kitchens that install cleanly are not. Our design team is part of Zen Build and Remodel LLC, a licensed builder that has been building and remodeling homes for 20+ years. We design with real-world issues in mind: walls that aren't square, dishwashers that need clearance, crown that has to meet the ceiling, and a refrigerator door that actually opens.
Moving walls: what to expect
Many of our best kitchens start by taking out a wall. Some walls are simple partitions. Others carry load from the floor or roof above and need a properly sized beam, posts and support down to the foundation. Plumbing, ductwork and wiring inside a wall also affect cost.
We spot these issues early and design around them so you know what you're getting into before you commit. Structural changes must be engineered and permitted where you live and built by a licensed contractor. Our drawings give your engineer and contractor a clear plan to price and build from.
How the design retainer works
Design begins with a design retainer that reserves your designer's time for layout planning, 3D renderings and revisions. When you order your cabinetry through Gr8Kitchens, the retainer is credited toward your cabinet purchase. You get serious design work without paying twice.
What we need from you
- Wall-to-wall measurements (a hand sketch is perfect)
- Window, door, vent and appliance locations
- Ceiling height and any soffits or bulkheads
- Photos of your current kitchen
- Inspiration photos and your budget range
Our step-by-step measuring guide walks you through it in about 20 minutes.
Tell us about your project
Fill out a short form and tell us what isn't working: tight walkways, a closed-off kitchen, not enough storage, a wall you wish weren't there.
Intro video call
We talk through how you cook and live, your budget, and how far you're willing to go, from a cabinet swap to a full layout change.
Secure your design with a retainer
A design retainer reserves your designer's time. It's credited toward your cabinetry when you place your order with us.
Layout & 3D design
We rethink the space: moving or opening walls, relocating the sink or range, adding an island. You get a floor plan, elevations, 3D renderings and an itemized quote.
Refine until it's right
We revise the layout, door styles, colors and cabinet line with you until the plan works and fits your budget.
Order & ship to your door
When you approve, we place the order, apply your retainer credit and coordinate freight delivery anywhere in the continental U.S.
