• Remodeling must embrace the principle that there are 3 locations in the kitchen area that should be the area of cooking / cooking, washing area / sink, and storage area / storage materials are ideally cooked in the triangle is connected to one another, with enough distance for the movement of traffic one of them and the ease of reach.
• Is there desired future front loading washing machine in the kitchen area.
• Are the items to be placed in the kitchen area requires many types of tray / drawer.
• Is the circulation of air in the kitchen area to be assisted by the exhaust fan / filtrack, etc..

If the sketch plan of the kitchen is already made, then we set:

• finishing desired kitchen cabinets (MELAMIC, duco, fancy sealer, etc).
• counter top material that we want (granite, marble, solid timber, tacon, etc).
• models, materials, and size of sinks that we wish to install.

• height of the bottom of the window frame of the kitchen floor.
• clean room heights in the distance measured from floor to ceiling.
• where we will put the appliance outlet to which we choose.
• standard height for the lower kitchen cabinets are:
• – 90 cm to international standards
• – 85 cm for standard Indonesia / Asia
• the distance between the top of the cupboard under (Cupboard) with the bottom of the closet (over head Cupboard) is between 55 to 60 cm.
• standard high over head Cupboard is 90 cm.
• width of the spoon (already fabricated) that we choose (this is related to the design width of the drawer where he is).

after we finished sketches, so now we leave it to the manufacturer for us to translate the sketch design drawings more accurate.
