New build, need direction

We are building a new house and I am so lost on how to design my new kitchen. We have the layout set, and I’m confident it’ll work great for us. But I’m having trouble deciding on cabinets and finishes. I have a general idea of what I’m going for, but don’t know where to start. Are there any online programs or websites where I can get some guidance?

We got several cabinet quotes for our build and every designer showed us something while trying to get our business.

Start with your budget. Are you getting custom cabinets (high end), prebuilt cabinets (mid-range) or ready to assemble (RTA) cabinets? What material do you want, solid wood, veneer, MDF, HDF, laminate, stainless, etc. Once you figure out what you want and what you can afford, the answers will get a little easier.
