The multiplier is between Kitchen Solvers and the vendor, Skipp is not party to that information. You may choose the markup and/or discount you'd like to use.
Once you determine the multipliers, markups, and/or discounts you'd like to use for cabinetry, here's how you can input them into Skipp.

Skipp uses the MSRP for each product you select, and then estimating the quantity of materials needed based on inputs that you give us.
Here is how we calculate the quantity of each line item in your estimate:
- Cabinetry: We use inputs you give us to estimate the number of cabinets in your design. This includes layout, which will tell us the number of corner cabinets needed, whether or not your design has an island, and the linear footage of cabinetry in the space.
- Cabinet Accessories: We assume one accessory per cabinet, as determined by the number of cabinets above.
- Surfaces: We take the estimates linear feet of cabinetry multiplied by the standard surface depth.
- Sink & Faucet: We assume the quantity is one of each unless otherwise specified.
No, scans are not used to calculate your estimate. Instead, we use the inputs described above.
Unlike an estimate, price quotes are using the exact quantity of the materials needed for your design.
For materials, Skipp simply adds the MSRP of all the materials used in your design to calculate the line items for cabinetry, accessories, surfaces, and sink & faucet. Here's how we determine the quantity of materials needed for each line item:
- Cabinetry: A full breakdown of the cabinetry can be found on the last few pages in your design proposals and revisions from Skipp.
- Cabinet Accessories: We use the number of accessories needed for the listed cabinets, based on the design.
- Surfaces: We calculate the surface area based on the design.
- Sink and faucet: We use the quantity shown in the design.
For cabinet installation, Skipp uses installation cost data from a third party source that collects labor costs from all around the country. We multiply this by the linear footage of cabinetry in the project to calculate an installation cost.
