Full kitchen design package$1,000 – $3,000

Design plus documentation & support$3,000 – $6,500

— Scope of service. A consultation costs a fraction of full documentation with renders and project support.

— Kitchen size & complexity. Larger kitchens, butler's pantries and structural changes take more design hours.

— Independent versus in-house. Company designers may rebate fees against a kitchen purchase; independents charge a straight fee.

— Revisions. Most packages include two or three revision rounds — extra rounds are billed on top.

— Documentation detail. Full trade drawings for plumbing, electrical and joinery cost more than concept plans.

— Ask whether the design fee is rebated if you proceed with that company's kitchen.

— An independent designer's plans let you get competing quotes from multiple cabinet makers.

— Lock in appliance selections before the design is finalised — sizes drive the whole layout.
