How to read the quantities
The example cabinet allowance is 18 linear ft. × $180 = $3,240. Installation adds 18 × $85 = $1,530, so the cabinet-related subtotal is $4,770 before any other kitchen work.
What the example includes—and leaves out
A linear-foot cabinet allowance can help explain an early example, but real cabinet pricing also depends on the unit schedule, drawers, end panels and accessories. Reconcile the allowance against the supplier’s actual list before presenting it as a final product price.
Outside this scope: No wall removal, structural alterations, utility relocation or appliance purchase. Countertop and cabinet selections remain example allowances.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.

Common questions
Can I quote a kitchen before all selections are final?
You can prepare an estimate with clearly labeled allowances. Explain which selections may change the total and replace the allowances with confirmed supplier quotes before treating them as fixed prices.
Should cabinets and countertops be one line?
Separate them when they have different suppliers, quantities or selection assumptions. It makes scope changes and customer comparisons easier to understand.
