Aluminium kitchen cabinets price in Singapore (2026): quick reality check
Cabinet quotes vary because pricing depends on layout length, tall/full-height units, finish system, hardware & accessories, and installation complexity (site conditions).
The most common reason “prices don’t match” is scope: one quote includes tall units, pull-outs, lighting, disposal, and installation coordination another doesn’t.
The fastest way to lock pricing accurately is an itemised quotation based on confirmed measurement + agreed specifications.
If you’ve asked for quotes before, you’ve probably noticed the same kitchen can receive very different numbers. That doesn’t always mean someone is “overcharging.” It usually means the quotes are built on different assumptions.
This guide breaks down what affects cost so you can:
understand what you’re actually paying for, and
request a quote that’s detailed enough to compare fairly.
(If you’re exploring options, start here: kitchen cabinets in Singapore
Most suppliers calculate pricing based on:
Top cabinet run (length)
Bottom cabinet run (length)
Then add separate costs for:
Tall units (pantry / oven tower / full-height storage)
Island/peninsula cabinetry
Accessories (pull-outs, racks, organisers)
Finishes (standard vs premium effects)
Installation scope (site conditions, coordination, dismantling/disposal)
What you should do: ask for an itemised quote by category. It’s the simplest way to prevent scope surprises and compare options confidently.
A straight run is typically simpler than L-shape or U-shape layouts with multiple corners and returns. Adding an island or peninsula increases:
total cabinetry length
finishing
installation complexity
Tip: Don’t compare by “HDB type.” Compare by actual cabinet length and number of tall/island units.
Tall units are a major budget lever because they involve:
more structure and reinforcement
more doors/hardware
more precise alignment and anchoring
Examples:
full-height dry pantry
oven tower
pull-out pantry systems
utility storage
Finishes affect both cost and durability. Your quote can change significantly depending on:
standard colours vs special finishes
single-tone vs multi-tone designs
feature panels vs full kitchen coverage
What to ask for: the finish type, colour(s), and where each finish is applied.
Two kitchens can look identical but cost very different amounts based on hardware and accessories.
Common cost add-ons:
pull-out baskets and pantry systems
dish racks
corner storage systems
drawer systems (quantity + size)
integrated lighting channels
Quote tip: request a clear accessories list with item counts.
Real homes create real complexity:
uneven walls/floors
tight clearances
fixed plumbing/electrical points
access constraints (working space, schedule, coordination)
Installation complexity can increase labour time and alignment effort so it belongs in the scope.
Quotes vary a lot depending on what’s included:
dismantling/removal + disposal
protection and cleanup
coordination with plumbing/electrical works
post-install adjustment/alignment
warranty / aftercare
If you’re comparing quotes, always compare the scope list not only the total.
top cabinets: ____ (length)
bottom cabinets: ____ (length)
tall units: ____ (how many / how long)
island/peninsula: yes/no
Base: standard finish, essential storage
Mid: upgraded drawers/hardware + a few pull-outs
High: tall pantry systems, premium finish, integrated lighting, more customisation
If your spec isn’t written down, the quote will be a guess and it’s hard to compare.
If you’re unsure which direction to go, this guide helps: modular vs custom aluminium cabinets
Use this checklist:
total top cabinet length
total bottom cabinet length
tall units (included/excluded)
finish system + colour coverage
hardware tier (hinges/runners)
accessories list (counts, models, placement)
installation scope (dismantling, disposal, coordination, cleanup)
warranty / aftercare terms
If a quote is cheaper, it’s often because something is missing not because it’s the same job.
reduce unnecessary corners
avoid oversizing islands if you don’t need them
drawers in key zones (cutlery, pots)
essential pull-outs where they solve a real problem
A full pantry wall looks premium but can be the biggest cost jump. Prioritise tall units only where they give clear daily value.
For a quote you can trust (and compare fairly), your best next step is:
confirm dimensions and constraints,
finalise finish and accessories,
receive an itemised quote with a clear scope.

Because quotes depend on cabinet length, tall units, finish system, accessories, and installation complexity and different contractors include different scopes.
Tall/full-height units, premium finishes, and pull-out accessory systems are usually the biggest drivers.
Yes—and you should prefer it. Itemised quotes help prevent surprise add-ons and let you compare fairly.
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Always request a written accessories list with item counts.
Compare cabinet length, tall units, finishes, hardware tier, accessories, installation scope, timeline, and warranty line-by-line.
Modular can be simpler and sometimes cheaper; custom fits tighter spaces better and can solve layout issues. (More here: https://www.tse7en.com/modular-vs-custom-aluminium-kitchen-cabinets/)
You can get a rough range with photos/layout and appliance list but firm pricing needs confirmed measurements and scope.
