daniel,
i'm with you about designing (or lack of designing) the whole kitchen,
i'll lay out the cabs and appliances without spending too much time on it.
i'll also lay out the electrical. enough to get permits.
reason for not going whole hog. we all know it never ends up like we lay it out
UNLESS they pay separately for the design for the "WHOLE" kitchen, cabs,
picking out appliances, colors, materials etc
and separately for the lighting/electrical design, including picking out and shopping
for the products to use
each of these takes a lot of time.
most of the projects will include lighting designers, kitchen designers, interior designers, etc.
