If i purchase these myself they will set me back about $100 per drawer...Not sure if my cabinet maker can get them cheaper. The roller door will be about $600 for approx 600mm opening. Do these prices sound right? As for the bench height, I think its will be approx 900mm...I was told to do the pot drawers at 270mm and the top drawer at 180mm, so with a bench top of 40mm and kicker 140mm I think it would be about 900mm..Anyone think it should be higher? The next dilema Im having is the empty space above the over head cupboards. My ceiling height is 3.4m abd I plan on dropping the ceiling above the kicthen about 300-400mm Which would leave me with a ceiling height of approx 3m. Should I put a bulk head above the cupboards, which means there will be about 600mm of empty space, possibly even more as im not sure what height the top of the cupboarsd will be. Reason Im thinking bulk head is I dont want people seeing dust build up above the cupboards coming down the stairs near the kitchen. ANy suggestions? Re: New kitchen design problem 18Nov 28, 2011 4:37 pm How tall are you? This has alot to do with how high I build my benches. I would build the kitchen at 2.4-2.5meters high and build a plaster board bulkhead above.

ANy suggestions? cbboyz - I've been pricing drawer runner kits today actually, and $100 per drawer sounds a little high. One of my local cabinetmaker suppliers (in Melbourne) have Grass drawer kits for about $80 per drawer. Another supplier quoted me for Hettich Innotech kits at $45-50 per drawer depending on the rated loading (30kg vs 50kg) - I have to say this sounds like a really good price. The cabbie who is doing my kitchen has quoted me Blum drawers at $70 per drawer, which I'm going to go with over the Hettich, simply because my cabbie likes to use Blum and I've had them before and loved them. I'd love to hear any feedback on average drawer costs from the other folk here at the forum though - CuttingEdgeKitchens, I imagine you're right on top of this stuff? As for glass doors, I was recently quoted $195 each for 497x720 mm plain aluminium framed doors with frosted glass - this was through Polytec. Re: New kitchen design problem 20Nov 29, 2011 6:20 am It really depends on the type of runners you want. Blum Softclose runners for malamine drawers cost around $42 per set. Blum Metabox cost around $50 per set. Blum Tandembox around $50-$70 Blum Intivo over $100 per set. These prices are just for the runners. You still need to cut a bottom and back for the drawer and then put them together. The blum intivo is quite expensive and very time consuming!
