$100 per room. By morning.
A professional kitchen design firm for dealers, remodelers, builders, and showrooms. You submit measurements tonight — your virtual kitchen designers send back floor plans, wall elevations, 3D renders, and a priced cabinet list by 9 AM. No in-house hire. No 2020 Design license. No contracts.
No credit card. No contract. Cancel anytime.
Why companies outsource kitchen design.
You outsource kitchen design for three reasons: hiring a kitchen designer is expensive, software licenses are expensive, and your demand is uneven. A professional kitchen design firm that charges per room fixes all three at once.
A full-time kitchen designer costs $55K+ a year in salary, benefits, and training — before they draft a single room. Outsourcing costs you $100 per room, with no payroll tax, no PTO, and no ramp-up.
2020 Design software runs $5,000+ per seat per year, plus catalog updates. Your outsourced design firm already owns every license and every manufacturer catalog — you get the output without paying for the stack.
Some weeks you need 30 designs. Some weeks you need three. A salaried designer costs you the same either way. A per-room kitchen design service flexes with your pipeline — you pay for the rooms you actually need drawn.
Kitchen design only — no sales pitch, no install, no minimum.
FKD is a kitchen design only service. You own the client, the quote, and the install — we just produce the drawings. If that sounds right, one of these three buckets probably fits you.
You run a kitchen dealership, showroom, or cabinet shop and close the client yourself. You pay FKD $100 per room and white-label the drawings.
You're a remodeler, contractor, or builder who installs but doesn't want to pay for an in-house kitchen designer. Outsource the drawings, keep the build.
You run a kitchen design firm and your designers are at capacity. Use our remote kitchen designers as overflow without hiring another seat.
FKD only works with trade clients — dealers, remodelers, builders, showrooms, and design firms. If you're a homeowner looking to remodel your own kitchen, start with a local kitchen designer instead.
In-house kitchen designer vs outsourced kitchen design firm.

How the outsourced design service works.
You outsource kitchen design in three steps. Submit your measurements tonight, your assigned kitchen design consultants draft overnight, and the finished package lands in your inbox before 9 AM the next business day.
You submit the room
Upload your measurements, photos, or hand sketches through our portal. Pick the manufacturer, door style, and finish — or let your designer recommend one.
Your designers draft overnight
Your remote kitchen designers build the room in 2020 Flex — floor plan, wall elevations, photoreal renders, priced cabinet list, and the native .KIT source file.
You get the package by 9 AM
Your finished kitchen design lands in your inbox before coffee. Unlimited revisions are already included — ask for changes until you and your client are happy.
A kitchen design firm 200+ companies trust.
4.9/5 average rating · 10,000+ rooms drafted
"We cut our design turnaround from 14 days to overnight. Outsourcing let us close 22% more projects last quarter without adding a single hire."
"I submit by 6 PM, the drawings are in my inbox at 8 AM, and the client sees a 3D render the same morning. We close 40% more walk-ins because nobody else can move that fast."
"Freelance kitchen designers were charging me $350–$500 per room and taking a week. FKD gives me the same drawings overnight at $100. Design cost is down 72% and we ship twice as many quotes."
What every outsourced kitchen design includes.
Every $100 room ships with the full kitchen blueprints you need to sell and build — a 2020 Design floor plan, every wall elevation, photoreal 3D kitchen renders, a priced cabinet list, and the native .KIT source file so you can open and edit the design in 2020 Flex yourself.
Interactive 3D walkthrough on any device.
Photo-realistic renders that close deals.
Built for dealers, remodelers, builders, and showrooms.
You outsource kitchen design because your business already sells, installs, or builds — you just don't want to pay a full-time kitchen designer to draft. Pick the version of the service that fits your operation.
Close more quotes with a virtual kitchen designer on your team. White-label every drawing and present it as yours.

Outsource kitchen design — questions we answer every week.
If you're comparing outsourcing against hiring a kitchen designer or a freelance drafter, start here. Every answer is direct — no sales fluff.
Outsource kitchen design costs $100 per finished room at Fast Kitchen Design. That one price covers the 2020 Design floor plan, all wall elevations, 3D renders, a priced cabinet list, and unlimited revisions. You pay per room — no retainer, no monthly fee, no setup cost.
Yes, outsourcing kitchen design is worth it if you draft fewer than roughly 550 rooms a year. A full-time kitchen designer costs $55,000+ in salary plus $5,000+ in 2020 Design licenses — that's $60,000 before benefits. Outsource the same work at $100 per room and you break even at 600 rooms a year (about 50 a month). Below that, outsourcing is cheaper every single year.
Hire in-house if your design volume is steady and predictable above 50 rooms per month — the salary is worth it. Outsource if your volume swings with the season, you already have a sales team that sells and installs, or you want design-only help without adding payroll. Most dealers, remodelers, and showrooms sit in the second bucket.
A freelance kitchen designer typically charges $300–$500 per room and takes 5–10 business days. An outsourced kitchen design firm like FKD charges $100 per room and delivers by the next morning. You also get the whole drafting team on retainer — no risk of your one freelancer being on vacation the week you need drawings.
Next morning. Submit your project by end of business day (Monday–Thursday), and the finished drawings arrive in your inbox before 9 AM the next weekday. Rush and same-day options are available for urgent quotes.
No. Your outsourced kitchen design firm uses its own 2020 Design and 2020 Flex licenses, with every major manufacturer catalog already loaded. You receive the final drawings as PDF, the renders as PNG, and the native .KIT source file so you can open and edit the design yourself if you ever want to.
Yes — that's the default. Kitchen design only is what most FKD customers buy: you own the client relationship, you sell the cabinets, your crew or dealer installs, and FKD only produces the drawings. You never meet the homeowner, and FKD never competes with your sales team.
Yes, revisions are unlimited and free. Your assigned designer revises the floor plan, elevations, and 3D render until you and your client approve the design. There is no cap on the number of revision rounds per room.
Yes. Every drawing ships with your company name and logo on the title block. Your homeowner client never sees FKD branding — the design is presented as your own work. This is standard on the dealer and showroom plan.
No. There is no contract, no minimum order, and no cancellation fee. You pay per room, only when you submit one. Start with one kitchen at $100 and scale up or stop any time. If your first design isn't what you expected, you get your money back.
A working kitchen design team — not a freelancer marketplace.
Fast Kitchen Design is run by Nouman Khalid, who started drafting cabinets in 2020 Design in 2016. The firm now employs 30+ full-time kitchen design consultants and drafters who have produced more than 10,000 rooms across all 50 states for 200+ trade clients. You get an assigned lead consultant on every project — not a gig-worker auction.
Every drawing is reviewed against NKBA guidelines, your state's building codes, and the manufacturer's spec book before it leaves our desk. If your first room isn't right, you get a full refund — no argument, no retention call.
