The general install cabinets (linear feet) item assembly is based on a production rate of 2 linear feet per hour. The ideal way to install cabinets may be by each and not linear foot but the concept is the same. The Estimate Rocket smart line items output 3 sets of information when an item is added to a project:

In this sample project area is going to have cabinet installation work done
Line Item is Added Directly to the Project
- Cabinet measurement = 30 linear feet
- Production rate of installation = 2 linear feet per hour
- Labor Calculation 1 = 30 linear feet / 2 linear feet per hour = 15 hours needed
- Labor Calculation 2 = 15 hours x $50 per hour = $750 labor dollars
- Material Calculation 1 = 30 linear feet / 1 linear foot = 30 linear feet of material needed
- Material Calculation 2 = 30 linear feet x $150 per linear foot of cabinet = $4500 material dollars
- Total Calculation $750 labor dollars + $4500 material dollars = $5250 total dollars
The linear footage install cabinets is priced at $5250 and the customer will see that price on their estimate along with a detailed description of the work to be done.
