Abstract
A quoting system for housing components, especially cabinets, includes a product database storing a plurality of product identifiers for different cabinet components, each having an associated cabinet style. The system further includes a quote database storing a plurality of quotes, each quote relating each of a plurality of pricing groups with each of a plurality of floorplans. A user interface permits a user to associate each of the plurality of styles with one of the plurality of pricing groups. One style within each pricing group may be selected as the primary, so that pricing of all of the styles in the pricing group will be based upon the pricing of the primary style and the pricing of all of the other styles in that pricing group will be overridden automatically.
