How do you choose whole-house customization without getting ripped off?

To avoid getting ripped off, first get the pricing method fully clarified. Custom wardrobes are priced by projected area (width × height), custom kitchen cabinets by linear metre; the conversion between developed area and projected area varies with cabinet body layout, so it must be calculated against the drawings—do not rely on verbal quotes alone. Next, check the board environmental grade and edge banding process; PUR edge banding or laser edge banding must be written into the order. Price tiers should be clear: basic kitchen cabinet configuration with E0 particle board cabinet body + PET door panel, Beijing 900–1,000 yuan/linear metre, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou areas 765–850 yuan/linear metre; mainstream configuration with ENF particle board cabinet body + PET door panel, Beijing 1,020–1,250 yuan/linear metre, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou areas 867–1,062.5 yuan/linear metre; upgraded configuration with ENF eco board cabinet body + PET door panel, Beijing 1,300–1,650 yuan/linear metre, Baoding, Langfang, Xiong'an and Zhuozhou areas 1,105–1,402.5 yuan/linear metre. The above are reference prices and do not constitute a formal quotation; actual projects require further calculation based on dimensions, design, materials, hardware, quantity, and site conditions.
