Multi-Unit Kitchen Projects

Multi-unit developments

Supplying twenty kitchens is not supplying one kitchen twenty times. The specification has to hold, the quantities have to be right first time, and the deliveries have to land against a build programme rather than all at once. Send us the schedule and we will assess it properly.

One specification, or one per unit type

Most multi-unit schemes need more than one kitchen. A block of one-beds, two-beds and a handful of penthouses is three specifications, not one — and the sensible approach is to agree each one, cost it per unit type, then multiply.

Unit type Typical approach What varies
Studios and one-beds Compact galley or single run, standard cabinet widths Fewer units; often a slimline or integrated appliance set
Two- and three-beds The core specification for the scheme Run length and worktop quantity
Larger houses or premium plots Upgraded finish on the same cabinet platform Door style, worktop décor, handles, appliance level
Affordable or rented units Durability-led specification Laminate worktop, mid-tone door, standard hardware

Keeping the same cabinet platform across all of them is what makes a scheme manageable: the carcasses, hinges, drawer boxes and panels stay common, and only the visible finish changes between tiers. It simplifies ordering, simplifies snagging and simplifies replacements two years later.

Quantity schedules

The single most useful thing you can send us is a quantity schedule — a list of every unit, door, panel, worktop length and appliance, with quantities, by unit type. If you have one, we price straight off it. If you do not, send the drawings and we will work from those instead.

  • By unit type, then multiplied. One priced schedule per house type is far easier to check than one enormous list.
  • Include the extras. Plinth, cornice, pelmet, end panels, handles and worktop upstands are what get missed, and they are what hold up a plot at second fix.
  • State the worktop lengths. Worktops are supplied as standard lengths; knowing the runs lets us tell you how many lengths each unit actually needs.
  • Flag the appliance spec. Integrated and freestanding are different cabinet requirements — getting this right early avoids reworking the housing units.

Phased requirements and delivery planning

Tell us the programme and we will work to it rather than delivering the whole scheme on day one. Fully tracked mainland UK delivery is standard; larger kitchen and worktop loads go on a dedicated service with the day arranged with you, and delivery timing is confirmed when your order or quotation is finalised. Full detail is on our delivery information page.

Availability of specific ranges, colours and worktop décors is confirmed at the point each order is placed. On a long phased scheme, tell us the full programme up front so we can flag anything worth ordering earlier.

Budget and value engineering

Trade and project pricing is assessed individually according to the products, quantities and requirements of each project. When the first number comes back over budget — which on a multi-unit scheme it often does — an itemised quotation lets you see exactly where the cost sits, and we can talk through the changes that actually move it:

  • A different worktop décor or edge profile
  • Standardising cabinet widths across unit types
  • Revising the appliance specification per tier
  • Simplifying the handle and hardware choice
  • Reducing the number of finish tiers on the scheme
  • Choosing rigid or flat-packed to suit site labour and storage

Rigid assembly on volume

On a multi-unit job, fully rigid cabinets usually pay for themselves in fitting time and reduced site waste. Rigid assembly covers building the cabinets before delivery; it does not include installation at the property.

How a multi-unit enquiry is assessed

  1. Send the schemeDrawings, unit schedules or an existing quotation, plus the number of units by type.
  2. Tell us the programmePhases, handover dates and the delivery address arrangements.
  3. We assess and pricePer unit type, itemised, with the total across the scheme.
  4. Review and value engineerWe show where the cost sits and what moves it.
  5. Phase the deliveriesAgainst your programme, confirmed before each order is processed.

Send your unit schedule

Upload a schedule, drawings or an existing quotation and we will assess the scheme and come back with an itemised price. We aim to reply within one working day.

Multi-unit FAQs

How many units counts as a multi-unit project?
Anything from a two-flat conversion upwards. There is no threshold you have to clear before we will quote it as a scheme rather than as individual kitchens.
Can different unit types have different specifications?
Yes, and on most schemes they should. We price each tier separately so you can see the cost difference per unit type before deciding how many tiers to run.
Can you guarantee the same décor will be available for phase three?
We cannot guarantee indefinite availability of any specific range, colour or worktop décor. Tell us the full programme when you enquire and we will flag anything worth securing earlier.
Will you deliver in phases?
Yes. Deliveries can be released against your build programme rather than sent as a single load, with timing confirmed as each order is finalised.
Do you have case studies of large developments?
We do not publish development case studies. What we can do is quote your scheme in detail and let the numbers and the specification speak for themselves — and put you in touch with the team who would handle it.
