Planning a new kitchen often begins with one important question: how much does a custom kitchen cabinet cost?

Cabinetku publishes budget ranges and explains the factors that affect pricing, rather than presenting one fixed price for every project. Specific project prices remain subject to the confirmed design, cabinet dimensions, materials, finishes, hardware, accessories and site conditions.

Quick Answer

As a general budget guide:

• Compact condominium kitchen: from approximately RM5,000 to RM15,000

• Standard landed-home kitchen: approximately RM18,000 to RM40,000

• Combined wet and dry kitchen: approximately RM35,000 to RM80,000 or more

These figures are budget references only. The final quotation will be calculated according to the confirmed design, actual measurements, selected specifications and complete project scope.


Compact Condominium Kitchen Budget

Selected compact kitchen cabinet projects may start from approximately RM5,000 and range up to RM15,000.

Cabinetku’s RM5,000 budget design generally applies to a basic compact kitchen configuration consisting of wall cabinets and base cabinets.

The starting package is subject to:

• Melamine finish

• Standard hardware

• A stated cabinet length or foot run

• Confirmed cabinet design and layout

Countertop, hacking, electrical work and plumbing are charged separately unless they are clearly included in the confirmed quotation.

For general market comparison, a basic apartment kitchen using melamine cabinetry with a quartz countertop may commonly range from approximately RM7,500 to RM8,500. Kitchen cabinets using glass or MDF spray-painted finishes may commonly range from approximately RM12,000 to RM14,000.

The actual Cabinetku price will still depend on the confirmed design, cabinet length, materials, hardware and project requirements.


Standard Landed-Home Kitchen Budget

A standard landed-home kitchen may require an estimated budget of approximately RM18,000 to RM40,000.

As a general market reference, standard kitchen renovation projects may range from approximately RM18,000 to RM38,000. A complete wet-kitchen rebuild may range from approximately RM25,000 to RM55,000.

Cabinetry-focused landed-home kitchen projects generally fall within the RM18,000 to RM40,000 budget range.

The final price depends on factors such as:

• Kitchen size

• Total cabinet length

• Number of base, wall and tall cabinets

• Confirmed design and layout

• Materials and finishes

• Hardware and internal accessories

• Countertop requirements

• Appliance integration

• Installation and site conditions


Wet and Dry Kitchen Budget

A combined wet and dry kitchen project may require a budget of approximately RM35,000 to RM80,000 or more.

As a general market reference, complete wet and dry kitchen renovation projects commonly range from approximately RM35,000 to RM85,000 or more, depending on the kitchen size, materials and overall project scope.

The total budget may be affected by:

• Total wet and dry kitchen cabinet length

• Kitchen island or breakfast counter

• Tall pantry and appliance units

• Cabinet materials and door finishes

• Countertop selection

• Premium hardware

• Internal storage accessories

• Electrical and plumbing work

• Hacking, dismantling and disposal

• Installation complexity


General Price-Per-Foot Market Reference

For general market reference:

• Melamine cabinetry: approximately RM180 to RM300 per foot

• Plywood cabinetry: approximately RM320 to RM550 per foot

• Premium cabinetry: approximately RM600 to RM1,200 or more per foot

These figures are general market benchmarks and are not fixed Cabinetku rates.

The final Cabinetku quotation will be based on the confirmed design, complete cabinet configuration, selected materials, hardware, accessories and actual site conditions.


Important Pricing Note

Two kitchens with a similar length may still have very different final prices.

The total project cost is affected by the confirmed design, cabinet height and depth, number of drawers, tall units, door finishes, internal accessories, appliance integration, countertop selection and installation conditions.

For a more accurate preliminary estimate, customers should provide:
