How this calculator is built
Unit costs with sources
This model cites 2 sources for its line-item cost and regional labor inputs.
Regional labor adjustment
The province table applies local labor indexes only to labor-heavy line items.
Published methodology
The methodology page lists the formula, size drivers, labor model, and source links.
How this estimate is calculated
The model prices 9 project line items from published cost inputs. Quantities are driven by your kitchen floor area, scope of work, finish level, and whether appliances are included. The selected scope and finish adjust those inputs, then the regional index changes only each line's labor share; material prices remain national.
The itemized midpoint is shown as a ±25% planning range. It is not a contractor quote: access, design choices, permits, availability, and site conditions can move the final price.
