What This Service Covers

I review kitchen and bathroom plans prior to construction to identify predictable structural risks that lead to change orders, delays, and long-term functional issues.

The focus is clarity and containment — not design style.

  • Clearance and workflow conflicts
     
  • Appliance and cabinet specification mismatches
     
  • Code and inspection blind spots
     
  • Trade coordination gaps
     
  • Risk concentration before build

Learn more about common remodel failure patterns.

When to Consider a Review

 

  • Before submitting for permit
     
  • Before authorizing cabinetry
     
  • Before finalizing appliances
     
  • When multiple revisions have stacked assumptions
     
  • When something feels resolved, but uncertain

Plan Failure Screen

 

For projects that may not require a full review, a structured risk screen is available.


The document outlines seven predictable failure patterns and includes a 15-minute approval checklist.


If a full plan review is later requested, the Individual license fee is credited toward the review.
