A complete kitchen renovation means we take responsibility for the kitchen as a whole — from planning and design through fabrication, coordination, and installation. Not every element needs to be replaced for a project to be considered complete, but the renovation is approached with a clear scope, structure, and overall plan.

We specialize in complete kitchen renovations. While certain elements of a kitchen may be kept or handled separately, we don’t offer refacing or isolated updates such as door-only replacements. Our projects are planned and managed as a whole to ensure consistency, functionality, and a smooth process from start to finish.

Not at all. Existing elements such as flooring or appliances can sometimes be kept if they work with the new layout and overall plan. These decisions are discussed early in the process and reflected clearly in the estimate.

Design and planning are integrated into our renovation process. We guide layout decisions, cabinetry design, storage planning, and material selection as part of the project.

Most key decisions are made during the design and planning phase, before fabrication begins. This helps reduce uncertainty and allows the installation phase to proceed efficiently and predictably.

Yes. While appliances, light fixtures, and plumbing fixtures are often selected and purchased by the homeowner, we’re happy to provide guidance, review specifications, suggest options, and ensure everything is compatible with the design and installation.

We guide you through decisions early and handle coordination throughout the project. Clear communication is maintained, but clients are not expected to manage trades or day-to-day site details.

The initial consultation is focused on understanding your project, discussing scope, and determining whether our approach is the right fit. Detailed pricing is developed once the design and scope are clearly defined.

Timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of the project. Our process emphasizes thorough planning and preparation so that installation proceeds as smoothly as possible once it begins.

Renovation work involves variables. While we aim for clarity and accuracy through careful planning, we prioritize realistic expectations and clear communication throughout the project.

Yes. We coordinate with trusted trade partners as part of the renovation process, allowing the project to move forward in an organized and cohesive way.

Custom work — such as built-ins, made-to-measure pieces, or elements in other areas of the home — may be considered when they’re integrated into a kitchen renovation and align with the overall scope of the project.
In some cases, this can also include a bathroom or adjacent spaces when they’re planned and carried out alongside the kitchen renovation. These elements are always discussed and defined during the planning phase.

Yes. Atelier Kauri operates with appropriate licensing and insurance for the work we undertake.

The first step is to book a consultation. This allows us to discuss your project, answer initial questions, and determine whether our process and approach are the right fit.
