Why Our Process Works

We Help You Make the Right Decisions in the Right Order.

A remodel becomes stressful when products, layouts, quotes, measurements, and construction details are handled out of order. Our process keeps the project organized.

1

Clarify the Vision

We begin with your goals, style, must-haves, budget direction, timing, and the problems you want the new kitchen or bathroom to solve.

2

Design Before You Buy

Your designer helps coordinate layout, product selections, finishes, cabinetry, fixtures, and visual planning before orders are placed.

3

Coordinate the Details

Once approved, your designer monitors product orders, coordinates material delivery, and supports the installer through completion.

The Southern Materials Process

Eight Clear Steps From First Appointment to Final Walkthrough

This is how we help homeowners move from ideas to a finished space with fewer surprises.

1
Start Here

Initial Showroom Appointment

We invite you to call and schedule a showroom appointment with one of our designers to establish your design goals and overall vision. A FaceTime or video-style consultation can also help save time before your first visit.

2
Measure

Site Measurements

After the initial showroom consultation, an experienced designer coordinates a site visit with a trusted partner contractor to obtain accurate measurements at your home.

3
Plan

Design & Selections

After the in-home consultation, your designer creates a layout of your space and helps showcase selected products, materials, finishes, and layout options.

4
Refine

Follow-Up Showroom Appointment

Review your design and collaborate with your designer to refine every detail. Multiple appointments may be needed to make sure the design meets your expectations.

5
Verify

Final Measurements

After your project is finalized to your satisfaction, we conduct a final site visit to verify important details and help prevent surprises during installation.

6
Order

Order Products

After final measurements are complete, we order all products as approved and selected by you.

7
Coordinate

Managed Installation

After purchase, your designer monitors product orders and coordinates material delivery with your installer.

8
Finish

Project Completion

Upon completion, your designer meets with you for a final walkthrough to make sure you are satisfied with your new kitchen or bathroom.

Schedule Your Design Consultation

Start in the Showroom, at Home, or With a Quick Video Call.

The first step is simple: tell us what you want to change, what you like, and how you want the finished space to feel.

For many homeowners, a short FaceTime or video-style initial consultation helps us understand the project faster. Then we can guide you toward the right next step: showroom appointment, site measurement, product selection, or a more detailed design conversation.

Before Your First Appointment

A Little Preparation Helps Us Move Faster.

You do not need all the answers before you meet with us. But a few simple items help your designer understand the project quickly.

  • Photos of your current kitchen or bathroom
  • Inspiration images, saved ideas, or style examples
  • A short list of what is not working now
  • Your must-haves, nice-to-haves, and long-term comfort needs
  • Any timing goals or important project deadlines
  • A general budget direction so we can guide selections responsibly

What We Help Plan

Selections, Layouts, Products, and Installation Details Working Together.

Our role is to make sure your design decisions work together before the project moves into ordering and installation.

Layouts

Kitchen flow, bathroom clearances, shower location, vanity placement, island planning, and circulation.

Cabinetry

Kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, linen storage, pantry systems, pull-outs, drawers, and hardware.

Fixtures

Sinks, faucets, toilets, tubs, showers, shower systems, accessories, and finish coordination.

Surfaces

Countertops, shower walls, flooring, backsplashes, low-maintenance surfaces, and slip-conscious options.

Why Homeowners Choose This Process

Less Guesswork. Better Selections. Fewer Surprises.

A remodel is more than choosing pretty finishes. The right process connects your design goals with accurate measurements, product ordering, and installation planning.

By coordinating the showroom, designer, selected products, partner contractor, and installation details, we help you avoid pieced-together decisions and last-minute product confusion.

What Makes This Easier

  • One design team helping guide the big picture.
  • Showroom access to products, finishes, fixtures, cabinets, and surfaces.
  • Site measurements before final decisions are locked in.
  • Follow-up appointments to refine the details.
  • Product ordering based on approved selections.
  • Final walkthrough after the project is complete.

Process FAQs

Common Questions Before Starting

A clear process helps you know what to expect before you invest time and money into a remodel.

Yes. Southern Materials Company helps homeowners with kitchen design, bathroom design, cabinetry, fixtures, showers, tubs, sinks, faucets, product selections, and design-through-construction coordination.
