One, What is the general cost of a complete home customization?
Custom-made furniture for the entire house cannot be replaced by a single retail price, as its cost is closely related to actual dimensions, accessories, internal structure design, and personalized requirements. Therefore, custom-made furniture has its own unique pricing method.
The price of a complete home customization is determined by the size of the customized area, the materials selected, and other factors, resulting in different prices. Popular board materials currently available include particleboard, medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and HOSHA board. HOSHA board is relatively environmentally friendly, which may result in a higher price compared to other board materials. Therefore, if consumers are considering complete home customization, it is recommended to consult with local hardware stores to obtain accurate pricing information.
Two. How is the price of a complete home custom design calculated?
1、Area calculation
Generally, custom wardrobes are priced based on projection area. The projection area calculation is relatively simple: projection area = width x height. This refers to the area of the wardrobe as seen from the front, projected onto the wall.
The total price typically includes basic features such as wardrobe area, hanging short garment area, hanging long garment area, hanging rods, all board materials, and necessary hardware, which can meet the basic needs of most users. However, additional costs for features such as side panels, top trims, and cornices will be calculated separately.
Advantages: Simple calculation method, intuitive results, and the ability to quickly estimate the approximate price of customized products.
Disadvantages: Components exceeding the standard configuration require separate pricing, which can introduce inaccuracies in the estimate.
2、Calculate the area
Compared to calculating the projection area based on the overall packaged price, calculating the unfolded area is more precise. The unfolded area method involves completely disassembling the product, separating the materials such as boards, hardware, partitions, back panels, and related accessories, and then calculating the area and unit price for each component before summing them to obtain the final total price.
To facilitate understanding, imagine a cabinet as a rectangular prism. The unfolded area would be approximately as shown below.
The pricing method for the area to be covered requires accurate design specifications to determine the correct budget. The calculation method is complex, and even minor adjustments can result in significant price variations.
This customized home design pricing method offers homeowners a clear and transparent cost structure. Residents can design the internal layout, specify the number and spacing of partitions, and control the budget effectively.
Advantages: Highly accurate in calculations. More user-friendly, with budget control features.
Disadvantages: The pricing process is time-consuming, and each time a scheme is modified, a recalculation of the specific additions or reductions is required. This not only increases the time cost but also places a high demand on the professional skills of the service personnel.
3、Unit cabinet pricing
Calculating by unit refers to a system where a brand already has pricing for standard cabinets, drawers, shelves, etc. Users can freely combine them, similar to building with LEGOs, for flexible and customized configurations. The final price is then calculated by simply adding the prices of individual cabinets. However, it's important to note that the pricing structure varies among different brands; some may include hardware and other small accessories, while others may not.
Advantages: Easy to price, saving time and effort for both parties.
Disadvantages: Limited to selecting sizes according to the manufacturer's specifications.
