This lets you make the right decisions at the right time, before the cabinets are installed."},{"question":"Kitchen designer or general contractor: who do I call first?","reponse":"The designer. A contractor can only price what has been drawn: without a plan, three quotes for a new kitchen describe three different kitchens. At O Design, both roles are part of the same team, so your design is priced by the people who will build it."},{"question":"Which kitchen layout is the most efficient?","reponse":"The one that fits your room with comfortable clearances. A galley works beautifully in a narrow space; an island needs generous clearance all around, especially if two people cook. Where space is tighter, an L-shape or a peninsula is often the better fit. We show you the options in plan and in 3D."},{"question":"What kitchen design is timeless?","reponse":"One that suits the architecture of the house. Natural materials such as oak and stone, simple door profiles and good lighting age gracefully. You can see these combinations in our showroom kitchen."},{"question":"Which countertop should I choose?","reponse":"Quartz remains the most popular choice for its stain resistance and easy care. Natural stone offers more character but needs more maintenance. Both are on display at our showroom, so you can compare them in daylight."},{"question":"How long does it take to design a kitchen?","reponse":"Design takes 2 to 6 weeks, depending on the scope of the project and the revisions you request, followed by cabinet fabrication and installation."},{"question":"Do you build the kitchen too?","reponse":"Yes. O Design is a licensed general contractor in Quebec (RBQ 5801-8649-01) with its own carpenters and finishers. You can also take our drawings to the contractor of your choice."},{"question":"Which areas do you serve?","reponse":"Ottawa and Gatineau, as well as Chelsea, Cantley and the Outaouais.
