Cabs for four (4) bathrooms. Two have simple vanity sink bases, no drawers. Two have the vanity sink bases flanked by a 3-drawer stack on one side, and a 7/0 tall utility cab (for linens) on the other. Simple and cheap. Exposed cab sides are birch, doors are all shaker-style in birch, and drawerfronts and vanity blank slabs are all solid birch flats.
What is your guess on cost, finished and delivered, ready to install?
Framing the floor inside a crawlspace foundation keeps a gable-end addition close to grade.

But that's not finished. I'd add another $1439.56.
What is your's and BB's secret to getting those cabs out so cheap?
Or are you guys offering them up at cost or minimal margin? Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming.... WOW!!! What a Ride!
We was negotiating for you. Based upon your costs plus our 40% commission, those are the numbers.

Best triple those figures then...Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming.... WOW!!! What a Ride!
Melamine or ply boxes? FF or euro? Overlay or inset doors? Exposed hinges or euro? DT drawers? ply drawers or maple? Full extension undermount glides, side mount bb or basic roller glides?
It sounds like Mr. Dylan is trying to get an internet quote or he doesn't want to swallow what a cabinetmaker quoted him.
I hope this isn't the case, but if it is, this is exactly why I do not provide computer generated elevations on my cabinet quotes.
So, not to waste any more time on this, figure on at least $185 per l.f. minimum installed and finished. By the way, don't forget that floor-to-cieling cabs count as 2.5, or about $450/ft.
The rendering was ours that we gave to the guy quoting it. We prefer to do our own.
We have the numbers, for doing it this way: Cab Parts for the KD frameless boxes and shelves, and Scherr's for the finished fronts, hardware, and toekicks.
$665 for Cab Parts, $1050 to Scherr's, total $1715 for materials. We estimate 4 manhours for assembly. The local yard quoted $1900 for the cheapest version of Aristokraft, with 3/8" sides and stapled-together drawer boxes.
You oughta know better than to ask a Q like that here and expect it to mean anything. You didn't say much about kind of finish or hardware but I'd say 3600 plus those options
Welcome to the
Taunton University of Knowledge FHB Campus at Breaktime.
where ...
Excellence is its own reward!
Went to the Mighty Orange for you today, They said that they could do Crapmaid cabinets, not birch but oak for $2799. If you want more gray hairs thats a dam good price! Might not get everything right the 1st time out , But dam thats a good price!
the problem at clown depot is everything in the store is scratch and dent. after you factor in return trips to get everthing close to acceptable you might as well pay the extra at a local lumber yard.
Just wondered what you all would say. The quote from Scherr's, with us puttin' 'em together, is $3000, delivered. Can't ship 'em till June something.
Cab boxes all frameless, sides, floors, stretchers, tops, shelves, all 3/4" melamine. Front edges are taped in a vinyl that looks like birch. Dowels and confirmats at the joints. The tall box sides and the one exposed side of the lone vanities are 3/4" clearcoated birch. Drawer boxes are doweled and screwed melamine. Blum 3/4-ext runners.
Fronts are as you see in the picture, all in clearcoated birch. Hinges all Blum, the "Inserta" kind that require no tools, and adjust like a dream.
My partner thinks the Scherr's $ is way too high, and the 90-day wait out of the question, so I will leave it up to him to bring in something for less, and sooner.
The yard a block from the job can get Aristokraft, and we will see tomorrow what this is from them. The diff will be: face-framed, not frameless, 7/16 sides, a vinyl look on the exposed ends, 1/2" shelving, stapled joints, probably zilch for cleats on the backs.
We can get Kraft Maid from a dealer here in town, but my guess on this package in K-M is somewhere between $3600 and $3800, plus of course our 7.35% tax.

cost?? finished? etc???
well, the answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind...
add two thousand if the house is positively on 4th street...
and if you screw this one up, a hard rain is gonna fall....
but don't think twice, it's all right....
unless you got those subterranean homesick blues...
