I have listed several options below that I think will help bring the price down. 1) The manufacturer's price drop occurs when a wall cabinet goes from a 48" to a 42" , which would leave a finished height including cabinet crown of approx.. 100" . Leaving all the doors and drawers 5/4", the prices would be as follows: (labor and freight stay the same as the original estimate) Kitchen Perimeter Cabinets $ 48,620 Island: stays the same since there aren't any wall cabinets Butler's Pantry $13,035 In total, going from 48" high wall cabinets to 42" high wall cabinets would save $1,225 2) In the butler's pantry, if you changed the wall cabinet doors from glass to solid the price of the cabinets would go from $13,125 to $10,989 , a $2,136 savings. This is still based off using a 5/4" thick door. 3) Take off 5% from the cost of the cabinetry (not installation) to determine what 4/4" would cost vs. 5/4" 4) Another option we discussed would be to change the lower decorative wains panels to flat panels. There are three painted panels I believe you were considering doing this with...the end of the dishwasher and both angled ends of the angled island. This would save $500 for each panel. 5) One more option that I forgot to offer when you were here is using a'''4" melamine construction cabinet box (not the doors and drawers) instead of Y." maple plywood. The melamine would be a hard rock maple wood grain impregnated on a commercial grade particle board. I have samples in the showroom that I could show you if you're interested. Based on your original estimate with 5/4" doors, 48" h wall cabinets the price would be $79,908. You could then still reduce the pricing by using any of the options above.
