Hey everyone,
I’m about to embark on the stages of designing the floor plan and shop design of my new coffee shop. Initially I had planned to use a recommended architect who has experience with working in coffee shops. However I was then recommended to use a shop fitter rather than an architect just because after using an architect I assume I would have to use a shop fitter anyways. By not using an architect as well as a shop fitter the advantage is I would save costs. So I guess my question is, is it worth the risk of not using an architect to design the layout and use a shop fitter to do it as well? I have never dealt with architects and shop fitters before so I’m not entirely sure what services shop fitters include and if they usually design layouts also. What do you guys think, keep to my original plan and hire an architect to design the layout and then hire a shop fitter, or save on costs and just use a shop fitter only?
Your advice will be appreciated!!!
