We are moving into our new house next year. Since our kitchen is still fairly new and in excellent condition, we would like to take it with us. It just needs to be extended with a cooking island, but then it would be perfect. Since we have no idea who offers this kind of service and what the costs might be, I wanted to ask here if anyone has any suggestions!
Good luck
Michael

Building a house around it usually doesn’t make much sense.
We are doing exactly that right now.
The additional cabinets we still need were ordered from the same place where we bought the original kitchen. They are relatively expensive because kitchen prices are always calculated in a strange way with packages and offsets, so the less you buy, the more expensive it gets.
At the furniture store, we will also rent a van, dismantle the old kitchen ourselves, transport everything to the new house, and set it up again. Some DIY skills are necessary.

I would recommend a local carpenter. They can build everything you want and, at least in our case, are not more expensive than the original kitchen manufacturer – quite the opposite.
We only sourced the fronts from the kitchen manufacturer to ensure an exact color match.
This way, we got a similar kitchen with three new base cabinets and a rearranged layout for the appliances and cabinets, new side panels of the carcasses (in a different color than before), and a new countertop.
In terms of price, it was about 20% cheaper than through the kitchen manufacturer. The main cost factor was the travel time for two installers, which almost amounted to a full paid workday.
