Designing bathrooms for customers

[Qwerty]

Why do bother designing bathrooms for customers . Is it that you make money on goods or that you get to charge a premium for what you are doing or do you possibly charge a design fee

My price for finished job reflects it. Im an all in one service. I design, spec, source, fit and project manage everything. People pay a fortune to not have that stress in their lives and pay me well for it.

I don't do it often, usually if I'm in the loop early enough I just make the changes needed to make the room work better if possible, but on this job there is potential for it to be a very nice wet room, but left to plumber and customer it just end up designed badly and using the easiest option in an attempt to keep costs down, I will add a small amount on but only a nominal amount really, I don't mind going over and above for customers when it's needed and I can see potinial for it to be a much nicer space if I get involved

I do the same as Plan Tec apart from the mood boards.

I bought bathcad design software although I'm thinking about doing all design work in sketchup and using a better third party rendering solution.

I've found that I no longer compete with bathroom Fitters. My main competition is the showrooms and if you have better software than them in most cases I get the job.

I work for a company who design bathrooms .hammam,s etc .and I put it all together..it's more complicated than it looks .use of space being the most important thing I think.not overcrowded .not too many tile features or colours.but everybody to their own
