Process URL: https://hamran.no/en/process/ Type: GenericPage Updated: 2026-10-09 At Hamran, we also tailor the process behind a new kitchen. What matters most when replacing a kitchen? Hamran advises and shares knowledge all the way through. It is important to coordinate everyone involved to create a seamless and good process. Step 1. An idea takes shape Every project starts with an idea. In this phase, we clarify wishes, needs and ambition level, and explore possibilities without obligation. Through an early conversation, we contribute experience, direction and professional perspectives that clarify the potential of the project. The aim is to give the idea a solid and realistic starting point for further work. Håndtegnede skisser av en skreddersydd innredning ligger utbrettet på bordet, med en blyant lagt over tegningen. Ved siden av står fargeprøver, en kaffekopp og en bjørkekvist med mose, mens linjalen stikker inn fra kanten. Step 2. The framework that gives direction As the project takes shape, it is given clear direction. Ideas and wishes are translated into clear frameworks for function, choice of materials and budget. This is usually where a physical or digital meeting comes in, or a site visit. With experience and an understanding of materials, we clarify ambition level, possibilities and limitations, and show how early choices affect both quality and cost. The result is a realistic and solid basis for further work with precision. Arbeidsbenken står langs panelveggen, med en reimdrevet maskin og skuffer under bordplaten. Reimene løper opp mot takbjelken, og en skuff står åpen blant verktøyet på platen. Step 3. Clarifications and decisions This is where the project is made concrete. Functions, solutions and details are determined, and the framework for budget and progress is clarified. Through drawings and specifications, materials, constructions and timelines are defined. Once the decisions are made, the project has a clear basis for further work with precision and predictability. Skuffefrontene i heltre strekker seg langs veggen, med kjøkkenøy i forgrunnen og en liten hylle over benken. Lyset fra vinduet faller mot benkeplaten og framhever åreretningen i frontene. Step 4. Details and quality Once the decisions are made, the project is refined in close collaboration between our areas of expertise. Constructions, joinery and choice of materials are worked through with a focus on function, strength and long life. The combination of material understanding, modern production and traditional craftsmanship ensures solutions that last. This is where the final quality of the project is set. With an uncompromising focus on detail, we lay the foundation for work that withstands time and use. Flere skuffefronter i heltre ligger ved siden av hverandre på arbeidsbenken i verkstedet. Åreretningen følger lengderetningen på hver front, og fugene mellom dem danner rette linjer. Step 5. Technical drawings and documentation In this step, all decisions are translated into technical drawings and complete documentation. The solutions are detailed down to measurements, joinery and tolerances, forming a clear basis for production. CAD files and working drawings ensure a shared reference for all trades and full control over quality, proportions, materials and details. Once the documentation is complete, the project is fully defined and ready for production. Skuffen er delt i flere rom med bestikk og redskaper i heltre. Sinkingen i hjørnet synes tydelig der sidene møtes. Step 6. Production and preparation Once the documentation is complete, the project goes into production. In the workshop, precise craftsmanship meets modern technology. Production time is normally 6–12 weeks, depending on scope and complexity. All parts are produced according to defined drawings and quality requirements, from construction to surface treatment. Once production is complete, the kitchen is fully inspected and ready for precise installation. En hånd fører limflasken langs kanten av et smalt bord med freste sammenføyninger. Flere bord ligger stablet ved siden av, klare til å settes sammen til en heltre plate. Step 7. Quality control, delivery and installation. Before delivery, all parts are quality checked against drawings, materials and surfaces. Once approved, the kitchen is prepared for delivery and installation. Installation is carried out by experienced fitters, ensuring precise installation and any necessary on-site adjustments. This is the final step in the process, where everything comes together into a kitchen of lasting quality. En skuff trekkes ut av en skapkarm, og sinkingen i hjørnene synes tydelig. Dagslyset fra vinduet ved siden av legger seg flatt over den matte overflaten. Do you have questions about our process? Feel free to get in touch with us.
