What moves the price

Cabinetry: Usually the largest single line and the widest. Stock, semi-custom and custom are three different price brackets for the same wall.
Whether the layout moves: Keeping the sink, hob and services where they are keeps the job to surfaces. Moving them brings in plumbing, gas and electrical.
Worktop material: Laminate to stone is a multiple, not a percentage.
