First, are you planning on expanding the kitchen, or are you simply remodeling what is there? If you are planning on expanding the size of the room, then this definitely will impact the cost of the remodel. You will also have to determine whether you will use the existing structure of the home or whether you will add on to the room. It will be necessary to ask yourself the following questions:

Will the project require that you move inside walls?

Will changes be required to load-bearing walls?

How much area will be required for the expansion?

What will the foundation be?

Will you be building the kitchen's expansion on posts and beams?

Will you include a bow or bay window in the kitchen?

Will you include a bump-out in the kitchen expansion?

Next, you ...

Another factor that must be considered is what electrical work will be required. Will you be moving existing appliances? Will it be necessary to install new outlets and lines? What sources with you use to light the room? Will you be using the existing circuits or adding new ones? Another question you will need to answer is whether you will be installing new cabinets or simply put a new face on the existing cabinets.
