Shows don’t disclose how much time has passed between the planning and completion of a project. While we would like nothing better than to snap our fingers and have your project ready to reveal in four to six weeks, the reality check is that it usually takes longer. Before a project can start, a plan must be in place, which means meeting with the architect, the contractor, and the designer. Once plans have been laid, tradesmen need to be lined up, materials need to be ordered, and sometimes certain items, especially specialty items like cabinetry, need to be procured. Once the design is complete, delivery of cabinets can range from 6 to 12 weeks; often, the scope of work and selected products determine the overall timeline.

This also raises another point: reality TV can hire a large crew of skilled professionals. Though you only see a handful of crew members on the show, you can be sure that there are many more behind the scenes, many of whom may be working around the clock to meet the insane deadline. Often, when you try to push out such a large amount of work in such a short time, quality suffers. Realistic timelines ensure that you never wing it, but a plan is in place for the entire project. We want your project to go as smoothly as possible, which means we plan for every aspect so that the results are a high-quality product and a beautiful project you can enjoy for years to come.
