[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We completely changed the layout of our kitchen. ... Once we had a plan that we were happy with, we reached out to several contractors to price the work.  This was the hardest part because it's just a rough estimate, it always costs more than you think and this is just for labor.  Everything is piecemeal -- cabinets, labor, countertops, backsplash, flooring.  Once you secure a good contractor, they can coordinate all of the moving parts for you.  That's how we did it and it's working out well.  You can probably also go to a full service design build who will design, coordinate all parts and then provide labor as well.  I can't speak to the ease of that route because we didn't go in that direction.[/quote]

How much does the design work typically cost?

Did anyone opt to buy most of the appliances and materials on their own? I'd still hire a contractor to source and oversee the work, but given that I am home most of the day, it seems like I could put in a bit of leg work to find deals on appliances, order myself to get rebates/discounts, and be at home to receive shipments of tile and flooring.[/quote]
