That seems a little odd. How are you supposed to shop around if they won't
let you know what stuff costs. Maybe you need to price it up at a few
competitors then show them and say can you undercut these?


There are prices on the sample units on the wall. and a ball park figure
for the "standard" kitchen in that design

But that doesn't tell you that cupboard A is unavailable with alternative
door X.

Which is the problem that I had in Wren, and is also a problem with the
kitchens in Wickes, even though I do have a price list from them

So you can get a general idea of the price, but not an exact price.

They all have a broken model IMHO (but that's because I'm not, nor am
accompanied by, a 20 something girlie whose only interest in their new car
is what colour it is) where they expect you to choose your style of kitchen
first and then have the cupboards that are available in that style, even if
that (a) produces a compromised layout or (b) is over your price range.

Whereas I want to layout my kitchen with the most efficient use of the space
for cupboards first and then have it costed with the cheapest doors on the
front
