Laminate flooring in bathrooms and kitchen of a new build

Hi, We will be moving into a new build and would like to have our own floors installed as the builder has limited (and expensive) options. We would like laminate flooring in the kitchen and bathrooms, but have been told by two flooring companies that it is not advised in the bathrooms. The laminate that we want is supposed to be the most waterproof laminate available. The other thing that we were told is that we would have to get a plumber in to lift all the sanitaryware as the laminate should be placed underneath as it's very difficult to cut around. The other option that was suggested were the (more expensive) luxury vinyl tiles, and we haven't found any that we like yet. We would really welcome your opinion, and if there is anything else we should be aware of in both the kitchen and bathroom.
