HOW IT WORKS
The Basics
1. Our products work with the IKEA method system only. So you will need to have, or be in the process of planning an IKEA kitchen to use Modoco products.
2. You will need to place two separate orders, one from Modoco and one from IKEA.
3. Your Modoco order will include the doors, drawer fronts, panels, worktops, handles and plinths.
4. Your IKEA order will be for everything else - that includes all hardware (hinges, screws and fixings) needed to attach our products to the kitchen units.
5. Much like an IKEA kitchen, you will need to install our products yourself or have a fitter do it for you. Our products are installed in the same steps as the IKEA instructions, so there is no change in the process.
Step 1
Design your kitchen with IKEA
You need an IKEA design to get a cost estimate from MODOCO.
You can design this yourself using the online IKEA self-planner or else book a free appointment with IKEA staff in-store or online.
Keep the doors and drawers on your IKEA design, they can be removed later before you place your order with IKEA.
No IKEA design?
If you don't have a design from IKEA, you can still see how much a Modoco kitchen typically costs. We have example kitchens and prices here
Step 3
Start your MODOCO order
Once you have received your cost estimate and are ready to proceed with your order you can email MODOCO with the below information:
1. The cost estimate that was emailed to you by MODOCO
2. Your choice of material and handle type
3. Your IKEA planner as a PDF and a link to your IKEA online planner.
We will then check the initial quotation and if all is in order send you invoice for a deposit of 15%. This deposit is non-refundable as it covers time spent by MODOCO on the next stage of work in Step 4.
Step 4
Finalise your MODOCO order
Once the deposit is paid MODOCO will begin the drawing, review and approval process.
1. We undertake a detailed review of your order and draft a fabrication drawing of your kitchen which will then be sent to you. It shows the layout of the kitchen, all door sizes, materials, handle locations, door swings, worktops etc.
2. You can comment on the drawing and changes will be made until we reach a point where everything is agreed. Once the final design is signed off by you and any cost adjustments have been made, we will issue an invoice for the balance of the cost - this is the final payment.
3. On receipt of final payment, the materials are ordered, we send your drawings to the workshop for production, and the processing begins.
Our lead time starts from when the ‘final payment’ is received.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email us info@modoco.ie or check out our FAQs.
Step 5
Place your IKEA order
Once you have your MODOCO order finalised you then order everything else from IKEA.
We will clearly identify the parts that Modoco is replacing for you on your IKEA list. You can share this with IKEA so you are not purchasing parts that you do not require!
Don't forget to include for the hardware in your IKEA order too - such as hinges, drawer runners etc.
Step 6
Install your kitchen
You just need to follow the IKEA installation instructions when installing Modoco products - our doors and drawer fronts simply replace theirs.
Our fronts are very easy to install, and any fitter who is used to working with the IKEA system will be able to provide you with an assembly service for our fronts.
While an IKEA metod kitchen is a self-assembly product, we do recommend that you enlist help from a kitchen fitter for your project.
