Builders know that kitchens represent vital components of home builds and remodeling projects. The kitchen is often a home’s central hub and as such, homeowners tend to hold strong opinions around both how they look and how they work. Partnering with an experienced kitchen designer can prove to be an invaluable asset to help your project become a success. Here are five benefits a kitchen designer can offer a builder working on a kitchen project.

2 - AN EYE FOR AESTHETICS

Specialists earn their status because their wealth of experience makes them the best at what they do. A seasoned master carpenter can tell you the benefits of a specific type of joinery or wood species because they have spent years gathering first-hand experience. Plasterers know the precise ratios of water and plaster mix to achieve a perfect finish. Skilled painters can cut crisp lines and smooth, even coats.

Kitchen and bath designers are no exception. They watch as trends evolve while they complete different styles of projects. As a result, designers are experts in helping a homeowner find the combination of look, feel, and function that works for their taste and budget.

4 - PRICING BENEFITS

As a builder or remodeler, you know the difference between winning or losing a bid often comes down to small price differences. Designers can help because they often have access to advantageous pricing with many manufacturers as well as different product lines within larger company umbrellas that the general public does not.

For example, a particular brand might offer a similar product at a lower price point, or perhaps another brand is running a promotion that could bring your total cost down. These price differences add up and can be the difference in whether or not a bid is won.

It can be tempting to want to keep every aspect of a job in-house to be able to maintain control over everything. However, it is important to recognize areas where partnering with someone with a complimentary skillset can save you and your customers time, money and frustration. Professional designers can do all of this and more, ensuring your project is completed smoothly and satisfactorily for everyone involved.
