I work for several different manufacturers, small custom shops to national suppliers. The big guys like to charge per unit/cabinet. This give them cost certainty, they tell you how much they will pay and you have to decide what is extra. The manufacturer should supply everything, screws glue caulk etc. You become a labour only supplier. Three units per hour, three to four hundred dollars per day.
Start on the top floor and work your way down. Not as far to move your tools at the end of the day. Where about are you in the PNW? I charge $45/box I consider anything and everything a 'box'. Filler strip. Length of crown.
I get lots 'interviews'. All sounds great. Few calls back. 100% price related. Get lotsa calls back to see if I'll cut my price in half.
Have a buddy I lend a hand to. He charges roughly $25/box. He works 'most steady'. I use the cab installs to fill my time remodeling. He works 100% as a cab installer. So he needs the steady can work.
And at $25/hr. He still get's undercut, pricewise. Chokher Bali Bengali Movie Mp3 Songs Free Download. Unless it's a top of the line, very high end, custom layout inhouse cabinet design distributor. They want to pick a low ball price. Under $20 cab/hour.
And they just use up young guys just starting out and hungry for work. Cabinet installs I am familiar with are billed out to the customer at $80.00/cabinet (including install, adj., knobs and pulls & toekick). The installer is paid $45/cabinet.
I charge $15 per piece for crown. I agree that each cabinet should be figured at about an hour.
I average 7 cabinets a day/ person. I've been doing about 2 kitchens/week and have been basically transmorgified from a trim and remodel guy into a cabinet installer. My experience has been that since people pay big bucks for cabinets, they are more willing to pay top dollar to have the job done right. Edit to add: My ballpark (install = 1/2 cabinet price) is something I picked up from Comsumer Reports when they did a feature on kitchen cabinets last year.
I just checked the 2005 Means info and they agree with what your cabinet installer gets ($20 to $30/cabinet). I consider those prices to be for average, production work. I try to charge more and like you, I strive to do high quality work.

We use differnet figures for uppers, lowers, corner cabinets, ceiling hung cabinets, and even then we consider the size of the cabinet. An hour a cabinet though seems high to me unless you are possibly using that hour to also account for other tasks such as bringing the cabinets into the space (or some other task for that matter).
