Made-to-measure kitchen: how units are quoted and what pushes the project up

The quote for a made-to-measure kitchen is calculated by units, not just per linear metre. Which elements raise the final price most.

A made-to-measure kitchen isn't quoted the same way as a wardrobe: each unit (base, wall, tall) has its own price depending on size, fittings and integrated appliances, and adding them up wrongly is a common source of error in the final quote.

Base units, wall units and tall units

Base units are usually the most expensive per linear metre because they include the worktop, drawers with runners and in many cases appliances (oven, hob, sink). Wall units are cheaper per unit of area. Tall units (for the oven, integrated fridge or pantry) have their own price because they are taller pieces and more complex to assemble.

What pushes the quote up most

High-end fittings (soft close, full-extension drawers, lift-up systems) add noticeably compared with basic fittings, as do lacquered or special-finish fronts compared with standard laminate. The worktop is another item that varies a great deal: laminate, compact quartz or natural stone have very different prices per linear metre.

Why itemise unit by unit

Giving a single "complete kitchen" price makes it hard for the client to see where the budget can be adjusted. Itemising by unit, with its fittings and finish, lets you offer specific alternatives (for example, keep the design but drop a grade on the fittings) without redoing the whole quote.
