Design solution and/or budget parameters may be selected/determined at this meeting. Alternatively, simple schematic drawings are developed to described proposed solutions, and a general cost estimate is created. The concept drawings and budget are presented at a meeting for review and discussion.  \n• Phase 2: Revisions/changes from Phase 1 are incorporated into the drawings. The floor plan is developed into a detailed set of working drawings, including elevation/interpretive drawings. Specific products are identified or allowance ranges are established. Second meeting is conducted to discuss the revised drawings and the overall project budget.  \n• Phase 3: If required, a third meeting is conducted where final project drawings and the contractual documents with product specifications are presented to the client for signature. The contract may include all equipment and materials clearly specified, or may include specific dollar amount allowances.  \n• Phase 4: Specific decorative surfaces or equipment is selected for the project after the contract is signed. The actual costs of these products are compared to the contract allowances, and a revised contract or change order is prepared.  \n©2008 NKBA BMF15 Page 1 of 4  \nCopyright 2008 by National Kitchen & Bath Association.
