Why Great Kitchen Design Depends on Project Management and CAD Accuracy
​
Every successful kitchen begins with a great design and quality products. But behind that design lies something just as critical: clear, precise project management.
​
At Callerton, we believe that getting it right in Winner—the CAD system used across our network—isn’t just about visuals. It’s about accuracy, efficiency, and seamless delivery. That’s why training plays such a vital role in the way we support our retailers.
From Screen to Site:
Why Accuracy Matters
In Winner, a kitchen design is more than a plan—it’s a roadmap for everyone involved in the project. A clear, well-structured CAD drawing ensures:
Products are specified correctly
Orders are complete
and accurate
Installers have the right information
Even the smallest mistake at design stage—like a misaligned measurement or missing filler panel—can lead to delays, cost implications, and unnecessary frustration on site.
​
Great project management means getting it right before the first cabinet is even made.
Training Makes
the Difference
This is why ongoing training in Winner is a key part of our approach to supporting retailers and their design teams. Whether it’s learning to model complex details, understanding product libraries, or producing clear install packs, training gives designers the tools to manage a project from start to finish—with confidence.
“When the design is right in Winner, everything else flows,” says David Knaggs, Marketing Manager at Callerton. “Good CAD work supports great project management, and great project management delivers kitchens that are right first time.”
The Willow Family Kitchen:
A Model for Training
The Willow Family Kitchen, installed at the Blum Experience Centre, was built not just to showcase products—but to support real-world training.
​
It’s a fully functional environment where designers and retailers can see what happens when product, layout, and planning all align perfectly—and understand how design tools like Winner help bridge the gap between concept and completion.
