Lack of sleep doesn't agree with you .... Miss Grumpy! The point that I was trying to make was that most builders would not spend money hiring a "professional" for jobs like colour consultant. Just like they don't hire professional Home theatre installers to do cinemas... It costs less to pay an electrician to do it. Who is more qualified to consult on colour?? You are! Would "M" or h3nl3y or any of the other big builders pay you to supply colour advice to each client? Would you work for $18 per hour in a thankless (generally) job? It would be a waste of you "professional" talents Michelle Matt - About the same amount who use professional colour consultants and professional home installation companies... Wrong…..I have done colours for clients who are building with Project builders….the builders don’t care. As long as the client pays me and they don’t. the question was how many builders use "professional" colour consultants I am sure they probably do in the display homes but for joe blow ... probably not.

Back to kitchens and professionals. The guy in this town who is the Corrian installed, is in my mind the BEST we have. He is a professional. He has his son working for him WHO has NOT done any course for the job. But his father expects nothing but the best from his workers so they are taught to be fussy about the end result. Now he is not a professional, but does good work. In my eyes, if the product is done well, does it matter if you are not schooled in the knowledge of the work you do?

He does good work because it is overseen by a professional. He is learning (schooling) in his art with a professional. He has a professional to critique his work. (and if it doesn't look professional he wont get dinner for a week!!)

the adjective professional - a person who is expert at his or her work as used in the following sentence ... "I think Matt is a professional theatre installer, I think Michelle is a professional interior designer, and I think Michelle's Corian guy is very professional." Fi has moved in!! Re: Am I being ripped off?? 56Oct 15, 2007 1:43 pm My colour consultant definately isn't professional (in any sense of the word) Just found out that she wrote the wrong colour down for our carpet and because the name of it is 'Rock Salt' I trusted that she wrote down the correct colour. We wanted charcoal/dark grey coloured carpet but now we have a yellowy-creamy colour. It looks terrible with everything else!!
I am currently fighting to the death... So NO I don't think large building companies use professionals. Next time i might give Michelle a call THEY HAVE FINISHED THE HOUSE AFTER NINE LONG MONTHS... BUT! The carpet is the wrong colour... Re: Am I being ripped off?? 58Oct 15, 2007 11:22 pm EXPERT
