I dont think so.
I made a pair of custom kitchen units earlier this year, both were a lot
more expensive (materials) than a complete ready made unit.
If I did it again, I would buy a ready made unit, then cut it down to
size.

Really? I built our carcasses out of Conti-Plas board from Bite and Chew.
Cost under a quarter of the price for any of the cheapest units we looked
at. Made all the units to standard sizes so we could afford good timber for
the doors. Just finished the new doors this spring time, and have just
ordered new soft close hinges for them tonight, and the whole kitchen cost
about half the total cost of the PogenPol kitchen we copied. I mean.
Wanted. :-)

Probably having all the right tools to do the job is half the battle, but it
still seems cheaper to make your own carcasses to me.
