I've done a few and they seem to involve quite a lot of nonsense before you start work. Measure the sink, measure the work surface around it and how much more you could edge into if need be. Measure as best you can the existing cut-out size from underneath. Measure width and depth of bowl(s) and position of partitions / back sections / objects that might be in the way. Discuss colour, style, drainer side, build material and dimensions they want, price they are hoping to pay. Then spend about an hour surfing through examples on various websites until you find one that more or less matches, often resorting to plump for one that involves widening cut-out because nothing quite seems to fit. Factor in changing cut-out, altering waste and water feed pipe-work and submit a quote. Total time before even getting a small job quoted on - couple of hours?
Or do you walk in and say any colour as long as it's stainless, prob alter cut-out to fit, this much roughly, couple of tap flexi's, take it or leave it, bosh.
Or...even riskier... do you leave it up to them to buy their own? Ah yes, well your new sink is lovely. But 30mm too short.
