-----------------------------------------------
The above percentages are fairly accurate discounted
retail price comparisons. Pricing is based upon comparing
the same layout, door style, wood species, finish, accessories,
etc.
What we need to price your
project:
To price a project we will need either a cabinet/material list or a well detailed floor plan and elevations. Well detailed means that cabinet sizes and configurations have been shown on the plan. We can use just a floor plan alone if you have used our cabinet codes ( found on our Cabinet Catalog CD ) to map out your design and the cabinet codes are listed somewhere on that plan. Cabinet codes are not always universal from brand to brand. If you provide a material list, to avoid confusion,
it is best if you describe each item as best as you can or use our cabinet codes. A couple of examples of good descriptions would be:
Qty. 1 wall cabinet 36" wide x 12" deep x 36" high
Qty 1 base cabinet 15" wide x 24" deep with 3 drawers
with a spice drawer insert in top drawer.
