PRICING SURVEY
This built-in project for an urban apartment
den was done all in frameless walnut
boxes. Plain sliced walnut was used for
exterior surfaces, and walnut was also
used for drawers
and interiors. Individual boxes were
used for upper cabinets with veneer-taped edges. Base
cabinets have flip
down doors.
Analysis: The
only non-kitchen project in this year’s
survey, this was also the project with the
most competitive bidding. The high bid of
$23,500 was just above the original bid
($21,800) and nearly double the lowest
bid of $12,999. Variations in shop rates
and markets might account for much of
difference in prices for this project.
This elegant den
built-in was done in
walnut with frameless
construction and flip-down doors. It was
the most competitively
priced project in this
year’s survey.
