Before choosing a cabinet color, decide what your kitchen project actually includes. HIBC provides nationwide online buying and project coordination for Miami-area homeowners seeking confidential wholesale product quotes. A free initial review helps organize the questions, product specifications and next decisions that matter to your room.

Separate a refresh from a rearrangement

Make two lists: finishes and products you want to replace, and walls or building systems you want to change. A new sink in the same position and a sink moved into an island should not be described as the same project. Ask your contractor to confirm the construction implications before comparing the two options.

For a condominium or other managed property, obtain its specific work-hour, delivery and alteration requirements. Treat those as building-specific conditions, not assumptions about Miami homes.

  • Save labeled photos and an approximate plan.

  • Record exact appliance dimensions, including door swing.

  • Flag proposed soffit, lighting and exhaust changes.

Check express-review eligibility before relying on it

The City of Miami’s Homeowner’s Express Review lists minor kitchen, bathroom and cabinet repairs among eligible project categories. It is not available to every application: the city excludes properties with open code violations or in historic districts. Use its kitchen-related applicant checklist with your project professional.

The city also requires documents to follow its naming standards. Establish who prepares and uploads each item before scheduling work. This resource covers the City of Miami, not every municipality in the Miami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm Beach market; confirm your property’s permitting authority.

City of Miami: Homeowner’s Express Review and kitchen checklist

Miami kitchen design: define the details behind the look

A striking kitchen is more than a photograph. For a Miami, Fort Lauderdale or West Palm Beach project, translate your favorite interiors into a practical cabinet brief: the door profile, finish, layout and storage features that matter to you. That gives your design conversation a sharper starting point.

  • Save a small set of reference images and note exactly what you like in each.

  • Bring a floor plan and appliance specifications, even if your layout is still evolving.

  • Ask to review finish samples and written hardware specifications before choosing.

Explore our door-style guide to describe your preferences. Our showroom checklist helps you turn those preferences into focused questions.

HIBC coordinates access to independent showroom design and confidential member pricing without adding a product markup. Compare each proposed cabinet line on its own specifications. Include membership, delivery and installation in your overall purchasing plan, and list panels, trim and accessories in the written package.

Does a free review mean my kitchen qualifies for express permitting?

No. The city determines eligibility using the property and complete work scope. HIBC’s initial online review concerns your buying and planning questions; it is not a permit review or an approval-time guarantee.

Review and membership costs

Requesting an initial kitchen review is free and does not enroll you. Gold membership is a separate purchase: $4,995 initial enrollment includes Year 1, with $495 annual continuation beginning in Year 2 under the checkout terms. Detailed complimentary kitchen design is a Gold membership benefit. Include membership when comparing complete project costs.
