For any kitchen or bath project to be a success, much of the work is
done long before the first tile is put in place. The planning and
presentation of the project to both the client and tradespeople not only
helps them to visualize their newly proposed design space, but the
documents guide professionals through the installation and completion of
all work. Wiley has teamed up with the National Kitchen & Bath
Association, the premiere non-profit association that promotes the
professionalism of the kitchen and bath industry, to produce Kitchen &
Bath Design Presentation: Drawing, Plans, Digital Rendering, 2nd Edition
(March, 2014; $85.00). Describing and providing examples of the most
common project documents and their preparation methods, this new,
essential reference features color illustrations and clear information
on how to create designs that fully comply with the National Kitchen &
Bath Association's Graphics and Presentation Standards.
The standards in the design industry are to ensure a clear understanding
of the components found on each type of drawing and to pave the way to
project success. The contractors, plumbers, electricians, and others use
these drawings for the completion of a design project. Suppliers of
products may also rely on these drawings for submitting bids and
ordering products. In Kitchen & Bath Design Presentation, both students
and professionals will learn about the standards for kitchen and bath
drawings along with the NKBA forms that will assist them with their
designs and project completion. Coverage includes:
-
Measuring the design space
-
Tools and techniques of hand drafting
-
Drafting conventions: line types, symbols and techniques
-
NKBA Floor plan: drafting and dimensioning the plan
-
NKBA Drawings in a set of plans
-

Sample kitchen and bathroom project documents
The successful kitchen and bath designer needs to produce professionally
drafted drawings in accordance with the NKBA Graphics and Presentation
Standards. The standards found throughout this book guide a designer
through meeting a client’s wants and needs while creating a functional,
well-designed space, and that’s what kitchen and bath design is all
about.
Sure to be the standard reference on their subject for students,
professionals, and anyone interested in the proper design of kitchens
and baths, this new release is now available for purchase online and at
retailers nationwide in both print and all e-book formats. For a list of
