WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

A CALL

Nichole will email you to book in a free 20-minute call to talk through your project, what is not working, and what might be possible within your budget. You will leave knowing your options, whether it feels like the right fit, and what the next step would be if you want to keep going.

A CLEAR PROPOSAL

If it feels like a good fit, I will send through a design proposal and scope within a week. Everything is written down clearly — what is included, what it costs, and what happens next — so you can decide with full information, not pressure.

WE BOOK IN A DATE AND START THE DESIGN PROCESS

Once you are ready to go ahead, we book in your project and start the design process properly.

INVESTMENT AND TIMING

Design is about 10% of your spend, but it protects the other 90%

Our kitchen, bathroom, and joinery design services start from NZ$3,500.

Design usually takes around 1–4 weeks depending on scope, while manufacture and install are typically 6–12+ weeks depending on suppliers and trades.

 

FAQs

  • Not at all. Many clients come in feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or early in the process, and part of my role is helping them get clarity.

  • Yes. I regularly collaborate with clients’ preferred builders, and your builder-ready drawings are designed to support smooth hand-offs.

  • No. I mainly work in Napier, Hastings and Havelock North, but you have completed projects across New Zealand.

  • Most designs take around 2–4 weeks, with some smaller joinery or finishing projects taking 1–3 weeks depending on scope and decision speed.

  • I highly recommend you download the Calm Kitchen Blueprint if you want a practical, lower-pressure place to begin.
