I'm a remote interior designer/drafter and I constantly struggle to gauge how long tasks should take me.
I'm curious how long other SketchUp users would expect a project like this to take:
- Custom kitchen, approximately 12' x 18'
- Entire kitchen modeled from scratch in SketchUp
- All cabinetry built custom (not pulled from the 3D Warehouse)
- Detailed island, hood, crown moulding, appliance panels, fillers, cabinet base etc.
- Model needs to be clean and organized because the elevations will eventually be used for construction documents
- Appliances to match selections provided by designer
- Model needs to be built perfectly and detailed enough for construction drawings in Layout.
One thing that added time is that the drawings weren't dimensioned I had a floor plan import from CAD but no elevations (only images of the elevations provided by another company), so there was a fair amount of interpreting the design intent and figuring out dimensions/details as I went.
How many hours would you expect this to take you?
I work remotely and don't have coworkers to compare against, so I'm genuinely curious whether I'm in the right ballpark or completely off when estimating these types of projects.
