Question on remodeling a kitchen (how much, disposal, pricing)

[tbone9900tx]

My cousin is renovating his kitchen and we were looking at this island.

How much would it cost to move an island kitchen about 2 feet maybe 1 foot out? There is a diswasher and a sink connected to it..the plumbing goes up from the foundation? is that even possible? any help??

It's not "impossible" but expensive to jackknife the foundation and rerun plumbing and such up through the slab. It's probably not worth the cost. Islands are typically in the center, so where would you move it? Lop-siding the kitchen might not be a wise move.

I have recently had a kitchen remodeling done in my home. When we were pricing the remodeling job, I spoke with a friend about just putting in a kitchen island. He was a plumber and told me that the cost of just the plumbing would run about 2-3k. This was due to having to go into the foundation. We chose to have to entire kitchen redone. I would think that moving the island 2 feet would cost as much as moving it 5 or 10 feet.

the problem is not so much changing the angle and running a plumbing line to a new sink location--to just move the sink dow 2-3 ft--but doing the angle to take the water/garbage disposal feed AWAY would also require an angle and that makes it more likely to clog up

when we had our bathroom redone recently at old house, the guy told me that if he had to move the drain for the master bath tub (because of the way the shower abutting it had to be reframed because of termite damage and bad original installation) that it could add to cost to have to repostion the drain by jacking out a new location...from 2-500 up to 1K -- just depended on what he had to do to make it right...
