When you run some 3CM jobs you can really see the difference. Its all the little things besides TIME that gshell is talking about that add up to alot of savings. Our shop can produce a 3CM kitchen ready to install much faster than our laminate shop can produce one. If you can profile on your CNC and do an undermount stainless steel, every part of the job can be cut and profiled without re-introducing, it can go directly into the finishing area. We figure between, templating, CAD time, and finishing, a standard 55 sq ft kitchen takes less than 4 man hours.
