However if you want to sit down and talk to one of the experts, it is recommended that you set up an appointment so you can receive the best service possible.  <\/p>\n<p>How many appointments are needed?<\/p>\n<p>RiFRA recommends at least 3 appointments:<br \/>\n1. The first one will be the initial point of contact, where the consultant can really get a sense of what your needs and desires are, as well as getting a sense of what your budget looks like.<\/p>\n<p>2. The second appointment will be the presentation of the design and the proposed budget and feedback from you.<\/p>\n<p>3. The third will be where you will be able to see the design after your feedback and where the contract will be defined should you choose to proceed. <\/p>\n<p>Obviously, this is only a rough overview, as each case is different and could need more than this. <\/p>\n<p><strong>A. The First Appointment<\/strong><br \/>\nThe first appointment with one of RiFRA\u2019s consultants will allow you to discuss the expectations that you have for the project. It\u2019s an important first step for RiFRA to really understand your vision, your budget and the exact details of your situation. The best way to get the most out of your appointment is to bring a blueprint of the space you have to work with (or send it via email prior to your visit). <\/p>\n<p>During this first appointment you\u2019ll be able to browse the store and see what you like and don\u2019t like about the various models and finishes that RiFRA has to offer. This first appointment is absolutely free of charge. The design will be RiFRA\u2019s property until you are able to review it and give the go ahead. After this, the design will be turned over to you. If, by any chance, you are not satisfied with the design that is shown or the budget that is proposed, you will not owe RiFRA a cent. <\/p>\n<p>The amount of time it takes for the designer to come up with a concept may vary on the complexity of each case. During this first visit you will go ahead and schedule your second appointment to see the design for yourself. <\/p>\n<p><strong>B. The First Visual<\/strong><br \/>\nDuring the second appointment, the consultant will show you the concept design that that has been developed for you. The design will also come with a breakdown of total costs so you can review it and give your feedback.  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rifra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/rifra-experience_08.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"765\" height=\"471\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5632\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rifra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/rifra-experience_08.jpg 765w, https:\/\/blog.rifra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/rifra-experience_08-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>C. Changes and Solidification<\/strong><br \/>\nThis phase of the project will consist of a back and forth of feedback between you and your consultant and designer. Every change that is made will also come with a detailed summary of the costs, keeping everything as transparent as possible. <\/p>\n<p><strong>D. The Final Confirmation<\/strong><br \/>\nOnce the design is approved, it will be confirmed by signing a contract where all the terms and conditions of the payment, delivery and warranties will be noted. The delivery date will be approximately 8 weeks after the contract is signed; this is the time it takes for<br \/>\nRiFRA to build your dream kitchen or bathroom<\/p>\n<p><strong>E. Delivery<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen the 8 weeks are up, the RiFRA team will go to your house and install your new kitchen or bathroom. <\/p>\n<p>RiFRA is committed to giving you the highest quality furniture combined with a great customer experience. Each customer is unique and treated with the utmost care. You will find great professionals that really listen to what you have to say and make your dreams a reality.  <\/p>\n<p>Laura Spinelli<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rifra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/rifra-experience_09.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"765\" height=\"471\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.rifra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/rifra-experience_09.jpg 765w, https:\/\/blog.rifra.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/rifra-experience_09-300x185.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 765px) 100vw, 765px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Do you want to create your own RiFRA kitchen but don&#8217;t have a shop nearby?
