Imagine you spent thousands of dollars and countless hours creating your dream house project only for it to fail inspection which then requires you to redo a majority of the work. Undertaking a remodeling or home construction project independently can result in increased costs and time consumption compared to the efficient and skilled services offered by our team at CRD. Our experienced workers, who are both content and proficient in coding, are dedicated to turning your dreams into a tangible reality that passes inspection seamlessly on the first attempt!
Our designers, with years of experience, adhere to proper codes to ensure project approval during inspections. Additionally, we strive to incorporate National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) guidelines, which are suggestions aimed at enhancing the comfort and functionality of living spaces. While NKBA guidelines are not legally mandated, we at CRD prioritize and value them as if they were codes. This commitment reflects our belief in optimizing new spaces to maximize both comfort and space.
Unlike NKBA guidelines, codes must be enforced. So much so that if we touch a space in your house that’s out of code, we are responsible for bringing it to code. We want you to be comfortable (by following guidelines) and safe (by upholding code standards).
Amy Moore, CRD Senior Interior Designer, and Andrew Philips, Architectural Designer, each hold over 20 years of experience in the design-build industry, and share their insights that align with how CRD follows codes and guidelines on this podcast. They discuss the various and ever-changing Seattle residential codes and requirements they’ve followed over the years, emphasizing how these codes contribute to ensuring people’s safety.
Listen to our podcast, where Amy and Andrew share personal stories illustrating how they’ve balanced their clients’ desires with safety codes in the past.
