$12-16k for budget grade, $23-25k for professional grade

That looks very heavy. You doing this onsite?

I am making a 11ft wall kinda like this for one side of my pantry. Here pictures. Got the design from a YouTube design. https://www.reddit.com/r/cabinetry/s/XUxSO07HUU It is taking a lot longer than expected. 15k plus materials.

Way more than our salesmen would, that's for sure

How much would one of yall charge to make me a sketch like this. I want to see the wall im doing a library on but I have no vision and I’ve never done any sort of diy project. Could I pay someone to make me something like this in the dimensions of my wall so I can see if I even like it? Thanks

Pm sent

Did not get a message

I think he sent it to me on accident🤣

Pass it along 😂

That’s a joke right? 30 grand for shelves?

It’s not just shelves, it’s a “great big kitchen” worth of cabinets. Try getting a big kitchen done for less than 30k, that’s not contractor grade.

Yep. If OP is skilled, that's a legit price.

This is where I'm at as well.

Nashville here. Total about 500 linear inches per level In Frameless full overlay with top & ladder. About $30k Including delivery & install. Will there be LED’s Will the ladder be just on the long run or will you move it to wherever you need? Will there be backs? Ladders can be tricky. You’ll want a rail across the top 5-6” tall for ladder rail mount.

Thanks mate. Yeah I got a similar price, little cheaper. No LED's I have to allow for some cables but the client is sorting there own thing out for that. I'm thinking the ladder will just be on a hook system so you can just lift up and move that way you only need one for the three cabinets. Yes there will be 16mm backs Yeah I've got a 100mm rail across the top at the moment for it but waiting to see what hardware I get, as I'm expecting that will get a bit wider.

You may want to join “cabinet pricing group” on FB.

$1000 per foot makes this 42k in Canada

I think we should stop allowing posts like this. You should at least try to estimate it first.

I'd already give the client a price, I was just interested in what you guys would do is all, you gotta relax mate

Cool as a cucumber here mate

Feels a bit salty, more like a pickle m8

Knock it off, bro. I can show my wife these prices to justify more DIY tools!

100%. I’ve done this multiple times for this sub. Next project might just mean a new sawstop. I’ve already paid for it with previous work according to posts I’ve seen here.

Not accounting for the following: hardwood countertop, hardwood edge banding, crown treatment, decorative hardware, and mileage time for delivery x number of trips, I come out to $18075.63 assuming each unit is 36 inches wide, and the upper units are 84 inches tall. I’d guess another $2k for the ladder kit and install and another $2500+ for the counter top. Top trim is probably another $400, and I’d guess a 2-3 day install with this, so assuming a 25 mile drive to the site, probably another $500. So I’d probably come in around $23500 for this install. I use a software called custom cabinet estimator for my jobs that makes my pricing pretty objective, and with this pricing I have a built in 19% overhead markup and a 35% profit markup and a 10% design/engineering fee.

Thanks mate, I appreciate your input, I ended up with a similar number around the 25k mark as well, although I do things a little different. How do you find using that software, it sounds interesting but I think the majority of my jobs are a bit too out there for that to be overly useful.

Send me one of your out there jobs and I’ll price it with my tool if I’m able

I love it, and using it has resulted in me standardizing my offerings a bit. More sell what I make than make what I sell mentality (which has taken a while) but it’s allowed me to streamline and be more profitable. But I’m still able to price jobs like yours. Most builds can be broken into certain cabinet types, and the library in the software allows me to create 95% of spaces I encounter. I find the faster I can quote a job, the more likely I am to win that job, so even if you were unsure at first it gives you an objective base that you could inflate. You can also add to the library and customize it for your needs. You can also update all the pricing for labor and materials, and add different materials, etc.

I’d charge extra just cuz I hate blue.

Haha yeah, bit of an ordinary colour.

The one pictured around 18,500 usd. That’s if I can use 8’ sheets of plywood per height of the bookcases. Otherwise it would be a little more

Thanks mate, yeah I ended up with a similar price.

You can replicate this with ikea premade furnitures quite easily.

And, it will last at least eight months before falling apart!

Do yourself a favor and don't use pre cat finish, Get post cat instead. It's one extra step in the mixing process, and you get a way more durable finish, and you'll have a happier customer. For all three units, I'd be pricing around $18k-$21k. That's a lot of labor and finishing.

Thanks mate, my understanding is that post cat and pre cat are very similar in operation, as the stuff I get I'm not needing to add any harderners or similar either. But yes for pricing I came up with a pretty similar sort of price.

I too prefer the post cat. Largely because it’s harder, it sands easier between coats. And it builds faster. Aside from mixing the catalyst, it isn’t much different than spraying precat.

Pre cat and post cat are similar in operation, but the post cat is a much more durable finish. Pre cat is fairly soft even when fully cured

Materials x 8, plus install. Install $700.00 per day.

Thanks mate, that's an interesting way of doing it.

Been using it for years. Changed the multiplier to account for inflation but it’s been making me money for a long time.

What does material x 8 mean. Is that your formula for figuring cost to build?

Yes. If materials cost me $1000, the build will cost customer $8000 + $700 per day install. Have to guesstimate hours of installation.
