  • Contact us by telephone or send us a mail with your enquiry with your name and contact details.
  • Kindly also email a PDF format floorplan of your new house (not enlarged or reduced)
  • We will schedule a telephonic “appointment” during which we will do a full brief to discuss your design and style preference, functionality, colours and your personal needs.
  • Based on your brief we will do a concept design and let you know that we are ready to discuss /meet with you. We may email designs to you to confirm that we are on the right track with your design and to provide perspective that enables you to make any concept changes.   You will normally (depending on the scope of works and nature of the requirement) receive perspective drawings as rendered images done at different angles to give you a clear overview of proportions of the areas involved.
  • After changes were made, you will receive your revised drawing based on discussions with you and proposed changes.

Will you be able to give me an estimated price on my cabinetry requirements during a telephone enquiry?

Unfortunately, not.  At Boulevard Collection™, we do not have any standard kitchens, bar, studies or cabinetry.  All our kitchens and cabinetry are custom designed and manufactured according to your specific needs, as well as the available space.  We don’t supply; we design and aim to introduce new concepts as often as possible if allowed.  We define the project and then implement the design principles in a way that manifests in a uniquely designed space.

Our forte is the fact that we don’t offer anything that is termed ‘standard’, every space and design for that space is distinct – we have no limitations in what is possible in terms of design. Our final product is as unique as you are.

I am renovating and only need the cabinets. Why do I need a kitchen design all over again and why do my appliances have anything to do with it?

An updated kitchen adds more resale value to your home than any other upgrade. Installing new cabinets that clash or contrast with your existing appliances, paint or flooring lessens this result. A comprehensive kitchen design, executed by a professional, will ensure that your investment adds maximum value and is aesthetically pleasing.

I love one of your signature elements. In particular; the suspended intermediate glass shelves over a kitchen island. May I order this as a stand-alone item to add to my existing kitchen in order to enhance it and also give it that wow factor?

We specialise in complete interior projects, whether a kitchen, bar, office or any area in discussion, which will, in every single aspect represents what the brand and label of Boulevard Collection™ stand for. We unfortunately will not assist with such a request.

What we do for projects 

What should I look out for in making a decision for my Cabinetry supplier?

There are many important factors playing in on the sustainability of a potential supplier as well as the products on offer.  Below are three issues we believe directly impacts the hopefully joyous experience in the use of your cabinetry over the anticipated time to come.

The long-standing of the company should typically confirm its ability to offer support in future, if needed.  When you need maintenance work or alterations done in 10 -20 years, they should still be around.  They must, so to speak, have stood the test of time.

Be curious and cautious which drawer runners and hinges are being used, as that will determine the ultimate longevity of your cabinetry and avoid future replacements.   Although initially more expensive, opt for prime quality products – especially on hardware.  Boulevard Collection™ will again not compromise on quality.

Boulevard Collection™ cabinetry carries a 10-year cabinet guarantee, lifetime guarantee on door hinges and drawer runners, and in addition, a 3-year guarantee on workmanship.  This is a result of our decision to only use hardware which are almost at the top end of the available range; albeit that this comes at a slightly inflated price point.

With Boulevard Collection International™, one buys a hassle-free process and operation accompanied by the necessary guarantees in place that enables us to easily keep our promises made during the design and ordering process of your cabinetry portfolio.

Beware of sales people who make promises before they understand the project. A good designer and manufacturer will ask you detailed questions, keep your needs in high importance, what you want the end result to look like, how you would like to use the space, and approximately how much time and money you’d like to invest. If a designer isn’t asking these questions, he is not interested in meeting your needs, only his own.

Is there anything else I should consider when commencing with my kitchen or other cabinetry portfolio?

Yes.  Cabinets are just the first step in a sequence of events which can easily be planned if proper attention is given to detail and organized professionally. Your cabinetry budget will be determined by multi-faceted factors.

Kitchens, bathrooms, etc require new plumbing fixtures, electrical installation, appliances and for international projects transport, installation, and other travel expenses.

Once an order has been placed for kitchen or other cabinetry in your portfolio, we ensure that proper final measurements are taken onsite and compare our designs with the actual build and the space available as applicable.  It is primary for us to issue proper Services Installation drawings, which may include, electrical- plumbing-, lighting and other services for artisans to make use of during their installations.  We manage the thinking, the planning, the organizing and execution of all disciplines as far as allowed by yourself; in a process aimed at ensuring all is taken care of in a pro-active manner.

What is the estimated delivery time /When will my order be delivered /How long after ordering does my order get shipped out?

Orders are usually finalised on the first business day after payment has cleared. You may experience different waiting periods depending on the time of year. However, delivery times are always discussed before you make payment as some products may be in stock, whilst others may be imported. Additionally, some products are custom made to order and various products have different lead times from manufacturers. The exact time frame will depend on factors such as the exact location of delivery and size of the order. Deliveries occur on weekdays within normal business hours (public holidays excluded).

How will I know when my order is on its way?

Confirmation of dispatch is provided once goods have been collected by couriers and /or transporters. Tracking details are emailed to you as soon as your order has been dispatched. The tracking number may be used to track your parcel directly with the 3rd party courier or with ourselves. This can be done telephonically or on the relevant websites. Transporters of larger shipments are instructed to provide us with trip reports which enable us to monitor consignments on a daily basis.

Your large order made up of various items, will have a dedicated coordinator who will prepare your personal Project Management Plan (PMP), assigning responsibilities to specially selected service partners (if applicable). The PMP, which includes everything from the detailed product summaries, becomes our road map from the point of origin to your port of destination. Our experts work carefully to meet this plan while personally handling all matters relevant. Throughout the process we are in constant contact with you to update on orders as applicable – regardless where you are. We remain available to discuss both telephonically and by email throughout until the order is complete.

Where are you able to deliver to?

Also refer Importing from SA.

Who will deliver my order?

The Boulevard Group makes use of various reliable contracted third-party couriers and reputable transporters – some with a national delivery network and others with an international network. All our couriers and transporters have been contracted by ourselves for many years. Where products need to be flown in from aboard, or we are exporting to SADC countries, we have contact with clearing agents who we have established a rapport with over the past years.

Anything specific I should take note of when my order arrives?

The number of items you have ordered may not necessarily correspond with the number of cartons delivered on the waybill as more than one item may be packaged in a carton.

If the packaging has noticeable damages, please note this on the waybill and report any damages or shortages to us within two business days.
