Three in a Row

[chichesterkitchens]

I always charge for designs, I mean every time even though i supply and fit too. I put my design fee up from £200 to £400 and saw an increase in work. I also no longer deduct it from the kitchen price should they go ahead.I think it sends out a signal that I'm professional and will do a professional job. Admittedly I've outsourced the design to a designer a cpl times lately as he's got all bloody day to faff around dressing up the 3d images and he charges me £150 which seems fair to me.

After all I'm giving them a huge amount of knowledge and am cheaper than a good solicitor.

Personally, I use compusoft winner for my designs as it's so adaptable (compared to planit and 20 20 whom i used previously).
Who do you use?
