Contractors & Ikea Cabinets

I'm going for a certain aesthetic for my rehabs and Ikea's kitchen cabinets fit this look and are in the price range I'm going for.  From what I've heard, Ikea's cabinets are fairly easy to put together, but somewhat time consuming.  Has anyone run into an issue with their GC's putting the cabinets together.  Seems a bit more labor intensive than the standard pre-fabbed cabinets from HD or Lowes and I'm wondering if I will get charged out the wazoo for this type of thing?

I've used Ikea cabinets for many personal home rehab projects.  If you run into issues with having your GC put Ikea cabinets together you might need a new GC. 

They may whine about the quality, aesthetics, you name it - but if they can follow some simple instructions assembling and installing them is a snap.
