Term Project $-$ Kitchen Remodel Case Description Joe and Sally Bennet purchased their first home $($a condo$)$ last year for $$950,000.$ After living it in for a year they decided they wanted to upgrade their kitchen. The upgrade will improve the basic functioning$/$utility of the kitchen as well as increase the value of the condo. They heard that they can get approximately $75\%$ back of the remodeling costs when they resell. They would like you and your team to create a project plan for their kitchen remodel. These are the notes you took after talking to Joe and Sally. The house is $35$ years old. The kitchen has never been remodeled. The kitchen space is quite large at $15$ x $15.$ The current kitchen is very outdated and some of the cabinets are loose at the hinges and some doors are broken. All the cabinets need to be replaced with a modern look. The client would like to add an island in the center of the kitchen that will also serve as counter where people can sit. All counter tops should be granite including the new island. A backsplash above the counters against the wall needs to be added. The owners would like to have a modern look in the kitchen, and would like you to provide options for color scheme based on a modern scheme $.$ The floor has old linoleum thats cracked in a few spots. Client would like to replace the floor with tiles. The lighting is fluorescent with a dim yellow hue. To be replaced with bright puck lights $($recessed into the ceiling$).$ Sally would like a drop light$($s$)$ directly over the new island. The current electric appliances need to be replaced with new stainless steel appliances $($also electric$).$ All appliances should be mid to high end. Appliances include, fridge, stove, dishwasher. A new double sink and touch sensitive faucet needs to be installed. All appliances must be energy efficient. The walls need to be repainted with good quality paint. The client would like to get it done as quickly as possible, so we will have access to the site $7$ days a week from $9$:$00$am to $5$:$00$pm daily. Joe and Sally have a $$150,000$ budget. Once the job begins $($after planning$),$ they would like to have the job completed in one month. Based on the current date, you have $6$ months to do the planning and execution. The client would like the project team to create a functional ergonomic design for the new kitchen. See attached design of current layout. The sink should stay where it is$,$ but the rest of the appliances can be moved if required. The client would like us to get the approval from the strata council and the city for any building permits required. Current kitchen layout
