Price of Kitchen Cabinets in Nigeria 2023 (Updated)

We would be using a standard kitchen space with dimensions 3600 mm x 3000 mm (client’s available space) for this costing.

In calculating the price of kitchen cabinets in Nigeria, the following process is done below.

The client provides the dimension of the available space. In most cases, the architect visits the site to get accurate measurements directly.
A 3-dimensional (3D) sketch of the proposed kitchen space is sent to the client. This design can be reviewed a limited number of times.
A quotation would be sent.

For this case sample, dimensions were measured at the client’s site and a draft 3D rendering was sent to the client. The approved image is shown below.

After this is done, the next step is to generate a quotation. For this job, view a detailed quotation below.
