| Share of budget | How much control you have | |
|---|---|---|
| Cabinetry | 28-35% | A lot - stock to custom is a wide range |
| Labour | 20-30% | Little |
| Countertops | 8-14% | Some |
| Appliances | 10-18% | A lot |

Two-thirds of what people can actually control sits in cabinetry and appliances. If a budget needs to come down, that is where the room is - not in the plumbing.
Ask whether appliances are in the quote. They frequently are not, and a quote that excludes them can look $8,000 cheaper than one that includes them.
Comparing quotes properly
- Give every builder the same cabinet line and the same countertop material. Otherwise the totals are not comparable.
- Ask each to state whether the wall is load bearing and what they have assumed about the beam and bearing points.
- Ask what is excluded - appliances, flooring outside the kitchen footprint, painting adjacent rooms.
- Ask for the licence number and check it on LARA.
- Ask for the payment schedule and what triggers each stage.
