How NAKS, Inc. Helps Dealers Solve Last-Minute Kitchen Design Changes
Fast, Flexible Solutions for Real-World Commercial Projects
Commercial kitchen projects rarely go exactly as planned. Equipment specs change. Code requirements shift—site conditions surprise. And dealers are often the ones left scrambling to adjust at the eleventh hour.
That’s where NAKS, Inc. comes in.
We specialize in fast-turn, code-compliant solutions for last-minute commercial kitchen design changes—from hoods and ductwork to custom stainless steel. Whether your client suddenly needs a Type 2 hood instead of a Type 1, or you’re dealing with unexpected space constraints, our in-house team is ready to help you pivot quickly and keep your install on schedule.
The Challenge: Last-Minute Design Changes Are Inevitable
Even the best-planned kitchens encounter last-minute changes. Common culprits include:
- Incorrect or outdated equipment lists
- Shifts in menu or cooking processes
- Misjudged ceiling heights or wall layouts
- Rejected plans due to code issues
- Contractor or owner-driven adjustments
- Additional equipment needs after installation
These issues can cause delays, increase costs, or force dealers to compromise on quality. NAKS helps eliminate those risks.
Our Solution: Rapid Response + Built-In Flexibility
We’ve built our reputation on responding fast and delivering solutions that work in the real world—not just on paper.
Here’s how we help you solve last-minute problems without sacrificing quality or compliance:
NAKS, Inc. – Fast Turnaround on Type 1 and Type 2 Hoods
Need a different hood—yesterday? We manufacture both Type 1 hoods (for grease-producing equipment) and Type 2 hoods (for heat or steam only) in-house, which means we can turn around changes faster than most.
Common adjustments we handle fast:
- Swapping a Type 1 for a Type 2 hood (or vice versa)
- Adjusting hood length or depth for new layouts
- Adding side panels or makeup air to meet code
- Converting from wall-mounted to island-style hoods
- Addition of a Ventless Hood to allow extended menu options
Our team understands the urgency and makes code compliance a priority.
Custom Stainless Solutions—Without Long Lead Times
Changes to sinks, worktables, or shelving don’t have to delay your installation. We fabricate custom stainless steel in-house, so we can adapt to revised drawings or last-minute requirements quickly.
What we can customize quickly:
- Dimensions for tight or unusual spaces
- Built-in features like backsplashes, sink bowls, or shelves
- Undercounter or mobile configurations
- Integrated drop-in equipment cutouts
We work directly with your specs—no guesswork or generic solutions.
Flexible Design Support from Start to Finish
We don’t just take orders—we work with dealers and installers to solve real problems. If you’re up against a change, our team can help you:
- Review new layouts or site photos
- Adjust CFM or hood specs to match updated equipment
- Ensure local code compliance with updated designs
- Coordinate shipping and freight changes to meet revised install timelines
We speak your language and know how to move fast when your client needs answers.
