Kitchen renovation: layout plan and budget
Kitchen due for a refresh? Estimate painting, flooring, electrics and equipment (cabinets, worktop), then test the layout on a clear plan before consulting a kitchen designer or tradesperson. Kodarch helps you decide as a couple and arrive at meetings with a shared reference.
- Indicative budget by item (floor, walls, electrics, kitchen packs)
- Furniture layout to validate circulation and placement
- PDF export to share the project with a professional
- Move from the estimate into the editor with dimensions already filled in

How it works
1
Price the project
Choose kitchen type, area and finish. Select items (painting, flooring, electrics, packs) for a realistic VAT-inclusive range.
2
Draw the room
Create the 2D plan: walls, doors, windows. Place base/wall units, island or appliances to check clearances.
3
Try variants
Compare several layouts without starting over. Adjust dimensions and circulation before locking a design.
4
Share the file
Export a dimensioned PDF or share the project to get more accurate quotes from a kitchen designer or tradesperson.
What Kodarch helps you do for your kitchen
- Estimate an indicative works envelope before kitchen designer or tradesperson quotes
- Reproduce the room accurately with openings and space constraints
- Place furniture to the centimetre to validate island, work triangle and clearances
- Import an existing plan (PDF or photo) and recalibrate it
- Keep a shared visual reference for household discussions
- Export a shareable technical file (plan, areas, dimensions)

Concrete scenarios
Room-by-room refresh
You change flooring and paint first, cabinets later: estimate items separately and visualise the freed-up space.
Before the kitchen designer visit
You arrive with a dimensioned plan and a budget range: fewer back-and-forths and misunderstandings about constraints.
Testing a central island
You are unsure about an island: place it on the plan, check circulation and door swings before buying.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before creating your plan or estimating your renovation budget.
Does Kodarch replace the kitchen designer's software?
No. Kodarch helps frame the project (indicative budget + 2D plan) before or alongside the manufacturer quote. Final pricing and ordering stay with the professional.
Can I estimate only part of the works?
Yes. In the calculator, select only the relevant items (e.g. flooring and painting) for a range that matches your scope.
Are measurements usable for a quote?
They help prepare a more accurate quote, but remain indicative until validated on site by a professional.
Can two people work on the same project?
Yes. After saving (account), you can share the plan to decide together and pass it on to tradespeople.
Do I need an account to start?
No to try the calculator and a first plan. An account is useful to save and resume later.
