        "text": "Moving major appliance locations increases labor and rough-in trade costs because it alters behind-the-wall infrastructure. Relocating a refrigerator, dishwasher, or sink involves extending supply plumbing and drain-waste-vent lines, which may require opening subfloors or drywall. Shifting a cooktop or oven requires pulling new dedicated 240-volt electrical circuits or rerouting gas piping. Exhaust ventilation moves also involve cutting new exterior wall or roof penetrations. In typical kitchen renovations, shifting core utility connections adds between $1,500 and $5,000 or more to the budget, depending on access through basements, crawlspaces, or concrete slabs.",
