I really dont know how much it cost just an estimation of what was allowed by the builder plus how much we paid the cabinet maker to upgrade. It also includes Butlers pantry as well (about $1700) if I remember correctly. The kitchen was within builders specifications but we paid extra for all the design stuff like the granite, silver stip between bench and cupboards and all the door hardware. We also upgraded all the fittings in the bath/laundry area.
That price also includes a nice sink and a tap Appliances are fairly standard and simple...we looked at choice magazine and product review for the best value for many.
