Yes plywood laminated more durable and resistant to water.

But melamine looks good too as long as you rajin sikit keep it dry all the time and melamine shall be 12 to 15% cheaper if without consider the accessories and hardware.

make sure ask them to write you the size ( length especially ) for the kitchen top and also bottom cabinets, are top hang cabinet also 20 feet long I doubt.

Also the cabinet cascade and doors materials of course, I think they will be melamine base. check if the door provided is 3G, 4G, acrylic, colour glass, etc as different door type cost quite different.

you can either ask a main contractor to do all for you or ask kitchen supplier and aluminum window supplier do for you separately.

Yet if you are heavy cooker, I still think it is not a good idea to do this at the supposedly dry kitchen area, as the only cooker hood will not enough to suck all smoke out while you are cooking.

Practically still better do a proper wet kitchen at yard area as there are windows and you can do additional exhausted fan on the wall to suck out the cooking smokes.

Agreed, if can't afford high end quartz caesarstone, better opt for solid surface top rather getting cheaper quartz top

Yes, portable induction cooker helps to free up counter top space for small kitchen especially.

If you just cook occasionally then portable one can be a good option, just store it under cabinet if don't use can have empty counter top for baking and other stuff
