NKBA Kitchen & Bath Planning Guidelines

NKBA Kitchen & Bath Planning Guidelines With Support Spaces and Accessibility provides the most complete collection of illustrations and planning recommendations available in one source for design professionals dedicated to the planning and installation of code-compliant and beautiful kitchens, baths, and more.


The fifth edition follows the release of important code documents: the 2024 International Residential Code (IRC) and CSA B652 Accessible Dwellings 2023 (in Canada). In this edition, the consultants and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) carefully evaluated the IRC for parity against the most recent edition of the National Building Code of Canada and successfully brought uniformity to kitchen and bath planning guidelines for CKBDs and CMKBDs working professionally on each side of their respective borders in the planning and design of kitchens, baths, and support spaces.
