The quote says one number.
The kitchen costs another.

Measure along the wall at floor level, in feet. Round up — cabinetry is priced by the running foot, and vendors round up too.

Two walls meeting at a corner.

The single biggest lever on the number. Same kitchen, three routes, roughly a 40% spread between them.

Factory-pressed shutters, site-fitted carcass. The middle path most Indian homes take, and usually the best value if the workshop is a known one.

Almost never inside a modular quote — and granite alone can run to a sixth of the cabinetry.

Hinges and channels are what you touch fifty times a day, and the first thing a cheap quote economises on.

Every one of these is quoted as an extra, after you have signed off on the layout.

Bought separately, almost always. Leave anything you already own set to Skip.

The line items that turn up on a separate bill, from a separate contractor, after the modular quote was signed.

Two numbers nobody plans for, and the reason a kitchen lands over budget even when every quote was honest.
