A contractor wants to do your job the cheapest and fastest way possible. He is not going to want to go to the trouble of moving mechanicals and incur the extra expense and time into a project. He wants to get in and get out.
A designer, on the other hand, is looking to make the best use of space and do it right. He/She will move the underground plumbing, even if it is only a few feet, to make the floor plan work. He/She will make sure cabinets are ordered correctly so drawers and doors are sure to open properly.
I was just listening to Steve and Katie talk about moving duct work to make a basement bath plan work. She didn't want to settle on a poor design if a little extra effort would make a better, more fuctional space.
A designer is looking out for your best interest. A designer is looking for ways to fulfill your needs and criteria.
