Permits and inspections
We review the scope with the local building department, identify required building, plumbing, electrical and mechanical permits, and schedule applicable inspections.
AI BUILDERS / KITCHENS
A kitchen designed around your life.
Kitchen remodeling with thoughtful layout, durable finishes, appliance planning and accessible options.
KITCHEN REMODELING
Better flow for the busiest room.
We plan cabinetry, countertops, lighting, outlets, appliance circuits and the construction sequence around how you cook and gather.
ACCESSIBLE KITCHENS
Make everyday tasks easier.
We can plan reachable storage, seated work surfaces, knee clearance, accessible appliances and room to maneuver. We discuss ADA accessibility goals while checking which standards actually apply to your home.
PERMITS & PROJECT REVIEW
Plan the kitchen remodel through approval.
Energy, access and safety
For California work, we review applicable Title 24 energy requirements; in Nevada, the locally adopted codes apply. We discuss accessible design and ADA goals with you, then verify any legally applicable standards for the specific property.
Local and property review
In the Tahoe Basin, TRPA review may apply. We check relevant fire and stormwater or drainage requirements, plus HOA rules and architectural board approvals when applicable, before construction begins.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What to know before you begin
Can you design an ADA accessible kitchen?
Yes. We discuss the features you need and design toward applicable accessibility requirements or personal ADA-inspired goals, depending on the property.
Will a new electric range require panel work?
We review the appliance rating, circuit and breaker, wiring and calculated service load. A new dedicated circuit may be needed; a panel upgrade depends on available capacity.
