Because no one resolved the details.
Even the best design can fail during execution—and it’s almost always the same issues:
Misalignment everywhere
Cabinets, panels, and joints don’t line up due to uneven walls or poor leveling
Visible gaps & bad junctions
Between panels, walls, and worktops—making even luxury projects look unfinished
No allowance for material movement
Wood expands in humidity—without gaps, it warps or cracks
Incorrect measurements
Leading to overlaps, gaps, and elements that simply don’t fit
Weak structure behind premium finishes
Beautiful stone or wood failing because the base isn’t engineered properly
Poor coordination with MEP
Resulting in last-minute cuts, visible pipes, and compromised detailing
