Design ownership
Why you should own your design
Design ownership means the drawings for your remodel belong to you — not to the shop that drew them. It’s the difference between comparing real installed prices and being locked into a single quote you can’t check.
What “free” design actually costs
Most showrooms offer free design. The catch is in who keeps the drawings: the shop does. Only they can quote the design they hold — so their price is the only price you can get.
You can ask other shops to bid, but each one has to design your room again from scratch, their way. Different layouts, different cabinets, different assumptions. The quotes that come back can’t be compared — and the shop holding your drawings knows it.
“Free” design is priced into the one quote you can no longer negotiate.
What ownership changes
Any shop can build it
The drawings are yours the day they’re delivered. Hand them to any shop, in any town — no lock-in, no strings.
Every quote prices the same design
Same layout, same cabinets, same catalog numbers on every bid. For the first time, the quotes are apples to apples.
You set the timeline
No showroom pressure, no expiring offers. Collect quotes for a month or build next year — the design doesn’t go anywhere.
How the Design Packet makes it work
Ownership only matters if shops can build from what you own. So every Design Packet is drawn in real US cabinet catalogs — Fabuwood, MasterBrand Cabinets, Wolf Home Products, US Cabinet Depot, JSI Cabinetry, CNC Cabinetry — and contains what a shop needs to quote without redrawing: a measured floor plan, wall elevations, 3D renders, and an itemized list of every cabinet and part by catalog number.
Every packet also carries a QR code and reference number. Any shop can scan it to verify the packet is genuine and consult our design team about design intent — we stand behind every design we deliver.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What is design ownership?
Design ownership means you hold the rights to your remodel drawings — floor plan, elevations, and item list — so any shop can quote and build from them. With “free” showroom design, the shop keeps the drawings and only they can quote the project.
Isn’t showroom design free?
The design work costs the shop real money — it’s recovered in the quote, which you can’t compare because no other shop has the drawings. You pay for the design either way; ownership decides whether you can shop the price.
Do shops accept outside designs?
Shops build from drawings every day — what they need is accurate dimensions and real catalog numbers, which is exactly what the Design Packet contains. The QR verification mark also lets any shop confirm the packet and consult our designers.
How much does an owned design cost?
A fixed price per room — kitchens $299, other rooms from $149 — including 3 free revisions and delivery in 3–5 business days. See the pricing page for every room.
