Case Study
Opting for an Independent Kitchen Designer over Kitchen Companies
In the pursuit of a dream kitchen, homeowners often face the dilemma of choosing between kitchen companies and independent designers. This case study aims to shed light on the advantages of selecting an independent designer by comparing prices for an island bench setup, including cabinetry and stone top, from different companies.
Cabinetry Comparison: Three companies, were assessed based on their quotes for exactly the same specifications. The pricing breakdown is as follows:
Cabinetry Company 1: $2,171.07
Cabinetry Company 2: $2,426.54
Cabinetry Company 3: $4,396.00
While Cabinetry Company 1 and Cabinetry Company 2 offer competitive pricing, Cabinetry Company 3's quote is significantly higher.
Benchtop Comparison: Three companies, were evaluated for their quotes on a stone benchtop, including and excluding a waterfall end:
Stone Company 1 Benchtop & Waterfall End: $6,949.45
Stone Company 1 Benchtop Only: $6,329.60
(additional cabinetry end panel required)
Stone Company 2 Benchtop & Waterfall End: $7,203.53
Stone Company 3 Benchtop & Waterfall: $5,508.5
The Stone Company 1 Benchtop Only option seems cost-effective without the waterfall end initially, but when factoring in the need for an extra cabinetry end panel, the overall cost becomes comparable to the Benchtop & Waterfall End option. While Stone Company 3 provides a cost-effective alternative.
Conclusion: In this case study, the independent designer approach proves advantageous for several reasons. By opting for an independent designer, homeowners have the flexibility to compare quotes from various suppliers, ensuring that they receive the best value for their investment. The breakdown of prices for cabinetry and benchtops, highlights the potential for significant cost savings without compromising on quality.
The preference for Cabinetry Company 2 and Stone Company 3 Benchtop & Waterfall End remains based on a balance between quality and affordability. This case study serves as a testament to the benefits of an independent designer, allowing homeowners to tailor their kitchen project according to their preferences, needs, and budget.
