How We Can Help with Design-Build Projects

We often receive questions about how TBS works with homeowners, interior designers, architects and builders to help them achieve their design goals. 

So we decided to dive a little deeper into this topic based on a customer case study. 


What is the role of TBS? 

TBS Design Gallery is a one-stop lifestyle showroom. TBS represents some of the most innovative manufacturers of custom cabinetry, windows and doors, surfaces, hardwood flooring, hardware and accessories, and now high-end appliances from the United States and worldwide. Our mission is to make our client’s vision a reality and provide knowledge, guidance and support every step of the way. 

Here is a case study demonstrating how TBS’s value comes into play. 

This San Jose whole house remodeling project was already in process when the homeowners approached us in search of products and expertise. They did not have an assigned interior designer so it made a huge difference for the homeowner to have a kitchen cabinetry expert readily available. Our knowledgeable specialists helped them choose the best possible materials for their taste and budget, provided professional shop drawings, and placed orders. After the cabinetry was delivered, we made sure to supervise installation, minimizing mistakes and complications. 


This kitchen is equipped with some great storage units to utilize every blind corner and help declutter the countertop space. 

Final result: custom-designed kitchen cabinetry that elevates everyday cooking and entertaining. 

‍


It’s worth mentioning that these homeowners love to cook for family and friends. Their kitchen is always filled with love, laughter and a home-cooked meal. 

The custom cabinetry brand used for the project is Crystal Cabinet Works. 

Let’s collaborate on your project.
