THE COST DRIVERSLook beyond
Look beyond
the area rate.
A square-metre or square-foot rate is only useful when it identifies the measured area, specification and inclusions. It cannot replace a review of your actual property.
01
Cabinet quantity and internal storage
02
Worktop material, edges and joints
03
Appliances and service changes
04
Removal, preparation and installation
What your proposal
should make clear.
Request a scoped review- Measured scope and specification
- Included supply and installation responsibilities
- Allowances, exclusions and unresolved conditions
- Design, approval and procurement responsibilities
- Programme, payment milestones and change process
- Handover information and warranty responsibilities
We do not publish a generic starting price as a substitute for a project scope. Share your working budget and priorities so the proposal can be developed around useful choices.
BUILD A COMPARABLE SCOPE
Make the assumptions visible.
Price the same work before comparing totals. The following information helps connect your Tavora brief to an itemised proposal.
Information that supports the quotation
- How often and what you cook
- Number of people using the kitchen
- Appliance models to retain or buy
- Pantry and small-appliance inventory
- Existing service positions
- Preferred materials and working budget
Questions for the commercial review
- Which design, supply and installation tasks are included?
- Which quantities and products are confirmed, and which remain allowances?
- Who provides retained-condition investigations or specialist reviews?
- What protection, delivery, removal and making-good work is included?
- How are changes priced and approved before proceeding?
- What documents and completion criteria support the payment stages?
Porcelain or sintered surfaces
Check the exact product, edge detail, cut-outs, supports and fabrication requirements.
Include the ongoing requirement: Use the manufacturer's current care instructions rather than treating all stone-look surfaces alike.
Engineered stone
Review the specified brand's heat, stain and impact guidance, and inspect the proposed joints.
Include the ongoing requirement: Use protective boards and follow the selected manufacturer's cleaning guidance.
Painted, laminated or veneered fronts
Compare real samples, edges, handles and the internal cabinet construction.
Include the ongoing requirement: Keep a finish reference and avoid applying an unapproved cleaner or abrasive treatment.
Website concepts and general guidance are not quotations. Scope, product choices, applicable charges and commercial terms belong in the written proposal.
