Things are pricier in Austin.<br /><br />http://www.medwardscabinetry.com/<br /><br />They are in San Antonio and have done a lot of the UBuildit houses I have toured. Austin must have an equivalent or you call these guys.<br /><br />On Ikea, are you going to assemble the boxes? If you have an installer do this part, they will charge you an arm and a leg. If yu do it, schedule a week :).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02666328652376092821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208399868780151243.post-79363236896928256052012-06-17T11:05:53.760-05:002012-06-17T11:05:53.760-05:00Looks like its $59 a sq-ft.Looks like its $59 a sq-ft.bubba of the bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053404605995997558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208399868780151243.post-25631266852685858262012-06-17T10:59:42.679-05:002012-06-17T10:59:42.679-05:00The "big" numbers (15K, 23K [or perhaps ...The "big" numbers (15K, 23K [or perhaps 30K]) include the kitchen, master bath, guest bath, and laundry and, in the case of Kitchen Craft, the drawers in the bookshelves in the living room.

That was my confusion. (I was assuming the kitchen was the bulk of the cabinetry, so maybe another couple thousand for the rest of the house, which wasn't putting the total up anywhere near $15k.)Devonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14327080164247768031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208399868780151243.post-33886201397434519532012-06-17T09:35:10.745-05:002012-06-17T09:35:10.745-05:00Yay!

The Kitchen Craft, according to what the builder put into the cost spreadsheet, is $23,000. The 23 minus the 15 equals the 8 divided by the 15 times 100 equals (about) 50 percent.bubba of the bubbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06053404605995997558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4208399868780151243.post-44637308834451662982012-06-17T08:15:42.097-05:002012-06-17T08:15:42.097-05:00Maybe I'm not good at math (although I kind of...Maybe I'm not good at math (although I kind of think I am), but how is the KitchenCraft quote (possibly) only a 50% premium over Ikea?
