Design Is the Decision About Where Things Go
Custom kitchen design Boca Raton is the part of the project that decides where the sink, the range, the refrigerator and the walkways go. Everything after it is execution. It earns its own page because most kitchens that disappoint their owners were never designed: they were ordered, around whatever was already there.
The difference is easy to test. If the honest complaint about your kitchen is how it looks, you have a finishes project. If the complaint is that two people cannot work in it, or that the pantry is across the room from the counter you actually use, then no door style fixes it. That is a plan problem, and it gets solved on paper for a fraction of what it costs after the cabinets arrive.
Design has its own page because it has to happen first, but the plan does not stop at the drawing. It carries through permits, ordering and demolition into a finished kitchen, which is the job full kitchen remodels are, and full kitchen remodels are our main work. The plan drawn here is the one our own crew builds.
Signs the Layout Is the Problem, Not the Finishes
Nowhere to put things down. No landing counter beside the range or the refrigerator. You notice it daily and it has nothing to do with how the kitchen looks.
A door that blocks something. A refrigerator that opens into the walkway, a dishwasher that blocks the sink cabinet. Replacing the same appliance in the same spot does not repair a plan error.
Storage that exists but does not work. Deep low cabinets you kneel to reach, a corner nobody has opened in years.
The Four Decisions That Set Everything Else
One: does the plan move, or not? This is the fork. A kitchen that keeps its plan starts at $25,000 for a typical 21 to 35 foot run and lands between $25,000 and $42,000. Once a wall, a drain or a circuit moves, the project starts at $42,000. Design exists to answer whether what you want actually requires the second one, because often it does not.
Two: where does the water go? The sink and the dishwasher are the least portable things in the room. In an older home the drain often runs below the slab, which turns a six foot move into cutting concrete. We check this before drawing a plan that depends on it.
Three: what does the electrical have to carry? An induction range, a wall oven and island receptacles are load, not accessories. If the panel cannot support the plan, that becomes scope before cabinets are ordered rather than a surprise once the walls are open.
Four: how much storage, and of what kind? This is where custom stops meaning expensive and starts meaning fitted. Full-extension drawers instead of low doors, a corner that opens, an appliance garage so the counter stays clear. A custom cabinetry package starts at $18,000 and runs to $40,000 and beyond. The reason to spend there is fit, not finish.
What Design Has to Solve in a Boca Raton Home
What is under the floor limits the plan. In older homes here the original drain often runs below the slab. Moving a sink or adding an island sink is not a question of pipe length: it means cutting concrete, exposing the line, checking its condition, and deciding whether to tie into it or replace the section. We verify that before pricing a plan that moves water, so the discovery happens on paper instead of during demolition.
In a condo the plan is constrained by things outside your unit. Some walls cannot move, some risers cannot be relocated, and the association governs hours, elevator access and deliveries. The design has to be buildable inside those rules, which is a different problem from drawing a good kitchen.
Jurisdiction decides who reviews a structural change. Parts of western Boca Raton sit in unincorporated Palm Beach County, so the county Building Division reviews the work instead of the City, through its permit center for the unincorporated areas. Which one applies changes what the drawings must show.
What to Expect
- We answer within 24 hours and the first visit is free. There is no trip fee.
- The visit is where design starts. We measure the run, look at what the utilities and the structure can support, and ask the questions that surface the real complaint: what you cook, how many people are in the kitchen at once, what you reach for daily.
- The plan gets developed against those answers rather than a catalog. Same layout or layout change is decided here, because that choice sets the price band and the calendar.
- A written proposal. Scope, price, inclusions, exclusions and warranty terms.
- Jurisdiction, permits and association approval. They come before ordering, not after, because the drawings are what any of them review.
- Ordering, then demolition. Custom cabinetry runs 13 to 16 weeks from approved drawings, which is why the drawings come first.
Why Design With Us Instead of Around a Cabinet Order
The design is not a free sample attached to a cabinet order. When design is a giveaway it is paid for by the order it produces, and it will always produce an order.
We check the plumbing and the panel before drawing a plan that depends on them. A plan the slab or the electrical will not support is not a design, it is a change order waiting.

Licensed, Insured, and Permitted in Boca Raton
A drawing is not a neutral document here. It is what a building department reads, and it is what an association reads, so the moment a plan touches a drain, a bearing wall or the panel, the drawing has to be good enough to be reviewed rather than good enough to be admired. That is the practical difference between a kitchen designed by a showroom and one designed by the company that will build it: a plan drawn by whoever holds the license does not get redrawn when it reaches the counter.
The license is a Certified General Contractor license, CGC1524886, and it is the same one on the estimate, the contract and the invoice. Kitchen Remodeler Boca Raton was acquired by Gaven Constructions, so the licensed and insured entity that issues your documents is the one that carries the work. Insurance certificates are available before anything is scheduled.
Whatever the plan turns out to need in permits, drawings or engineering is identified and priced before you approve the project. Requirements vary with the scope and with which authority has jurisdiction over the property, which is exactly why they get settled at the design stage instead of after a cabinet order is already placed.

Common Questions
What does custom kitchen design cost in Boca Raton?
Design requirements come from the project, so design is priced with the scope rather than sold separately. What we can tell you is what the projects it produces cost. A kitchen that keeps its plan starts at $25,000 and lands between $25,000 and $42,000 for a typical 21 to 35 foot run. A plan that moves a wall, a drain or a circuit starts at $42,000. A custom cabinetry package inside either starts at $18,000. Any drawings or engineering are priced before the project is approved.
Is custom kitchen design worth it in Boca Raton if I am keeping the same layout?
Often yes, and it is the case people underestimate. Keeping the plan does not mean keeping the mistakes. Landing counter beside the range, drawers instead of low doors and a corner that opens are all available without moving a pipe. That is a $25,000 to $42,000 project that works completely differently at the same footprint.
Can any kitchen layout be changed in Boca Raton?
No, and finding out early is the point of designing before ordering. In an older home the drain under the slab may make an island sink expensive rather than impossible. In a condo, some walls and risers are not yours to move. Structural walls need engineering and a permit.
How long does the design stage take on a Boca Raton kitchen?
It is project specific and we do not publish a fixed number, because the honest length depends on how quickly selections get decided and whether an association or an engineer is in the loop. What we commit to is the sequence: drawings approved before anything is ordered.
Do you design kitchens for condos in Boca Raton?
Yes. A condo kitchen is a design problem with more constraints, not a smaller version of a house kitchen. Fixed risers, walls that cannot move and restricted work hours all shape what can be drawn. We read the building's rules before designing.
