Kitchen Project Management Mansfield
Got a kitchen project and feeling like it's all a bit too much? We get it. At Kudos Kitchens, we've seen how stressful kitchen projects can be when you try to juggle everything yourself. You're not just picking cupboards and worktops. You're trying to get plumbers, electricians, and fitters to show up on the right days... not easy!
That's why we made our kitchen project management service. We take care of every bit of your kitchen project so you don't have to worry about a thing.
Why Use Our Kitchen Project Management?
When we say we manage your kitchen project, we really mean it. Our family-run approach means you get:
- One person to talk to (no more chasing different people)
- All the different jobs lined up in the right order
- Someone checking the work to make sure it's done right
- Quick fixes when things (sometimes) don't go to plan
- Peace of mind from start to finish
Emma says: "I remember this one job in Mansfield where the customer had tried to manage it themselves before coming to us. They had an electrician who didn't show, a plumber who did half the job, and a fitter who couldn't start because the other jobs weren't done. We sorted it all out with proper planning and our trusted team, and now they have a kitchen they love!"
Our Kitchen Project Management Process
Our way of managing but thorough:
1. Plan Everything Out
First thing we do is sit down and plan. We look at:
- What you want done
- When you need it done by
- How much you want to spend
- What order things need to happen in
Michael likes to say "A day of proper planning saves a week of headaches later!"
2. Make a Timeline That Works
We make a clear timeline and share it with you. This tells you:
- When each bit of work will start and finish
- Who will be doing each job
- When we need decisions from you
- When you can expect to use your new kitchen
3. Get All the Right People
We don't just work with anybody. Our team is trusted and reliable:
- Andy - Our amazing electrician who never leaves a job half-done
- Nick - Gas safety expert who makes sure everything is 100% safe
- Jono - Multi-skilled installer who Michael says "is like having another me"
We've worked with them for years, and they know our standards. No cowboys here!
4. Keep You Updated
Nothing worse than wondering what's happening with your kitchen! We keep you in the loop:
- Regular updates (as often as you want them)
- Photos of progress
- Quick responses to any questions
- Immediate alerts if there's any issue
5. Handle Any Problems Quick
Things can sometimes go wrong. It's how we deal with them that matters.
"Last month, we had a kitchen project in Kirkby-in-Ashfield where the worktops arrived with a small crack," says Emma. "Instead of just making do, we got straight on to the supplier and had new ones delivered in 48 hours. The customer never had to chase us - we sorted it before it became a big problem."
6. Check Every Bit of Work
Michael personally checks the work at key stages to make sure it meets our standards. If it's not good enough for our home, it's not good enough for yours.

Getting all the different trades to work together smoothly is one of the hardest parts of a kitchen project. But with our project management, you don't need to worry about it.
Coordinating Electrics
Andy, our electrician, works closely with us on every project. We make sure:
- All electric work is properly planned
- Sockets are where you need them
- Lighting is installed just right
- Everything is tested and safe

- Deal with any issues with suppliers
Problem Solving During Your Kitchen Project
Even with the best planning, sometimes things don't go exactly as expected. That's when good project management really shows its worth.
How We Handle Unexpected Issues
Here's our approach:
- Identify the problem quickly
- Work out the best solution
- Talk to you about any decisions needed
- Implement the fix
- Make sure it doesn't cause delays to the rest of the project
Michael says: "We had a kitchen project in Warsop where we found some dodgy wiring behind the old units. Instead of just covering it up, we brought it to the customer's attention, got Andy in the next day, and had it fixed properly. Yes, it added a day to the project, but the customer's safety comes first."
Our Contingency Planning
We always build a bit of flexibilty into our plans because:
- Older houses can hide surprises behind walls
- Suppliers sometimes have delays
- Weather can affect some work
- Some jobs might take a bit longer than expected
By expecting the unexpected, we keep your project on track even when little issues pop up.
How Long Does a Kitchen Renovation Take?
People often ask us how long their kitchen project will take. It depends on how big and complex it is, but here's a rough guide:
- Small kitchen updates: 2-3 weeks from start to finish
- Complete kitchen renovation: 4-5 weeks
- Kitchen extension or complicated renovation: 6-8 weeks
The good news is that with our project management, we'll give you exact dates at the start, and we stick to them whenever humanly possible.

Think of us as the one person who makes sure your kitchen project runs smoothly from start to finish.
How much does kitchen project management cost?
Our project management is included when you buy a kitchen from us. We don't charge extra because we believe proper management is essential for a good job. If you're comparing quotes with other companies, make sure you check if they include full project management or if that's an extra cost.

Our customers tell us that having us manage everything was the best decision they made!
