Posts and load paths
Posts and load paths carry each beam end through walls, framing or the basement until the structural load reaches the foundation.
What decides it
Post placement affects both the new opening and the rooms below it. We trace each bearing point before the kitchen plan commits cabinetry or seating to the same location.
Why this is worth doing properly
The wrong layout makes new finishes expensive camouflage. We draw the aisles, appliance swings, plumbing routes and structural changes first, while every inch can still be corrected without reordering a cabinet.
What you get from us
- 01
Solve the layout before ordering
Aisles, appliance doors, the distance from sink to range and clearance behind the stools are drawn to scale first. Correcting the layout after cabinets arrive is no longer a design change.
- 02
Specify appliances before cabinets
Every appliance comes with exact opening, ventilation and clearance requirements. Reading them before the cabinet order prevents permanent gaps, blocked doors and improvised fillers.
- 03
One crew throughout
The same crew carries the job from demolition through final trim. Separately licensed plumbing, electrical and gas contractors work within the same coordinated schedule.
- 04
Nothing hidden without approval
If demolition reveals structural load, a blocked drain route or old wiring, you receive photographs and a written price before the condition is covered.
