To get the sale
If they where skilled they would be fitting and not designing
No way! The designers job is just as important!
I would say more so but then I would I'm a designer!
I have seen meny installers that think they can design but still haven't seen one that can do as good a job as a proper designer.0 -
A good designer should plan something that a fitter can fit. The thing is designers for B&Q, Betta Living, etc aren't designers, -they're salesmen. They sell an idea of a design - colours, materials, rough shapes. Then a surveyor comes out (or in B&Q's case the fitters are supposed to okay the designer's plan).
The best plan I think is to design it yourself, then get your fitters in to check your plans are build-able. Eg space for plumbing, electrics, space for appliances.
Then get their designer to suggest helpful tips - like perhaps best way of filling spaces, eg 2 x 600mm or 800mm+400mm. Nothing too complicated.0
