Kitchen Design Budget: Cabinetry

Posted by Matt Brooke on October 2, 2012

Whether you are considering a renovation, or are building a new home, you will almost always become intimately familiar with the budget.   This is particularly true when considering all of the components of a new kitchen.  The budget is one of many areas of any design/build projects that the Home Rebuilders team pays special attention to throughout the process.

Kitchens are traditionally one of the most expensive rooms in your home, but typically have the greatest impact on your every day life.  Although there are many line items that can be broken out of the overall kitchen budget, one that will almost always be the most significant is the cabinetry budget.  According to the National Kitchen and Bath Association most cabinetry budgets represent about 50% of the entire materials budget for a kitchen.  Although this is sometimes shocking, it is usually very representative of the amount of material and labor associated with constructing the boxes, the level of detail involved with the finish, and how sophisticated all of the internal gadgets and gizmos are.

For a design team that not only understands the components of a new kitchen’s budget, but also cares about making sure your design goals and aesthetics are met, be sure you give Home ReBuilders a call.  We will work with you during every step of the process to make sure you are maximizing value with each decision and selection.
