How many times have you designed the perfect project – made the necessary drawings, met with the client and sold that outstanding job that made the client and you very happy – until it was delivered and the installer calls you with that “Oops”. How can we eliminate these unexpected errors?

With better systems, information and education.

As a kitchen and bath professional that sells or designs projects, you can’t afford to miss this presentation. Mark L. Karas, CMKBD, CR will examine pre-installation and existing conditions, field dimensions and the importance of plumb, square and level installations.
