HI Bathroom Design & Consultancy Ltd has launched BathroomDesignUK, a new outsourced bathroom design service created specifically to support independent bathroom showrooms and plumbing merchants across the UK.
The new service has been developed to give independent businesses flexible access to professional bathroom design support without the ongoing cost and commitment of employing an additional in-house designer.
BathroomDesignUK works as an extension of a merchant or showroom’s existing team, providing professionally produced 3D CAD visuals using Virtual Worlds, 2D technical drawings and a detailed product list ready for quotation.
The service is designed to be completely flexible and can be used for regular design requirements or simply when additional support is needed, such as during busy periods, staff holidays, sickness or when an existing design team reaches capacity.
Businesses can also provide BathroomDesignUK with a list of their preferred manufacturers and suppliers, which is then kept on file. This allows designs to be created around the products and brands each individual merchant or showroom already works with.
Design briefs can be submitted in a number of ways, including through BathroomDesignUK’s online design form, via a printable survey form, or by sending an existing retailer design brief together with room measurements, photographs and any relevant customer information.
BathroomDesignUK operates with a two-working-day turnaround, while aiming to return the majority of designs within 24 hours.
Hayley Irving, Director of HI Bathroom Design & Consultancy Ltd, said:
“Independent merchants and showrooms often have incredibly knowledgeable teams, but design capacity can quickly become an issue when things get busy or someone is away.
“We wanted to create a service that genuinely works as an extension of their existing team rather than trying to replace it.
“Every business works slightly differently, so we can build their preferred manufacturers and suppliers into our system and produce designs that are relevant to the products they actually want to sell.
“There is no long-term commitment and businesses can use us as much or as little as they need. That flexibility is a really important part of what we are trying to offer.”
BathroomDesignUK has been developed by HI Bathroom Design & Consultancy Ltd following growing demand for outsourced bathroom design support from merchants, installers and independent retailers.
The company believes the service can particularly benefit smaller independent businesses that want to offer customers a professional design service without carrying the full overhead of an additional employed designer.
BathroomDesignUK is available to independent merchants and bathroom showrooms throughout the UK.
