Renovating your kitchen is an exciting time and the first thing many of our new clients ask us is, "how long will my renovation take and what is the process?"

While our staff will be there to guide you every step of the way, we've put together a step-by-step guide to give you an idea of what to expect throughout each stage of your project:

STEP 1 Designing your kitchen

First of all you'll meet with our designer who will help you determine the perfect layout for your new kitchen. We use  design software to create a 3D image of your kitchen so you can get a real feel for how your new kitchen will look.  You'll also select colours and finishes and finalise the design and quote. At this early stage you will select and order your appliances and sinks and request that they be delivered to our factory as the cabinetry will be built to suit them.

STEP 2 Check measure

Once your design and specifications have been finalised we will visit your site to do a final measure of the space. After check measure, ordering and production of your cabinetry will commence. Generally the manufacture time can range anywhere from 2-8 weeks depending on the finishes you have selected, availability, and our workload but we can provide you with an estimate based on the specifics of your project.

STEP 3 Site preparation

Once we contact you with an expected install date it's time to prepare the space for the arrival of your new kitchen. Your existing cabinetry should be ripped out the day before the install and the plumbing and electrical fixtures disconnected by your plumber and electrician. If your property requires structural changes (i.e. walls to be moved or built) your builder will have their works completed by this stage also. You might like to get out the take away menus now or fire up the bbq as you could be without a kitchen for a little while (depending on the finishes you've selected).

 STEP 4 Installation of cabinetry

On install day our cabinet makers will deliver and install your new cabinetry. Installation can take anywhere from 1-3 days on average depending on the size of your kitchen.

STEP 5 Benchtops

If you went with a laminate benchtop then it will have been installed along with your cabinetry and you can skip past this step. However, if you've selected an engineered stone benchtop then you're in for a slightly longer wait. Our stone mason will visit your site the day after the cabinetry is installed to measure and template the benchtop. Your new benchtop takes about 10 days on average to be manufactured and ready for install so be prepared to be without a functioning kitchen now.  

STEP 6 Splashback

If you decided on a glass splashback then this can't be measured until after the stone is installed. Once the stone is in the glass is templated and will be ready to be installed in approximately 10-14 days. If you're tiling this can be booked as soon as the benchtop is fitted.

STEP 7 Reconnections

Now it's time to get your plumber and electrician back to hook up  your appliances and plumbing fixtures and get you up and running again.

STEP 8 ENJOY!

Invite some friends over, cook up a feast and enjoy a glass of bubbles in your beautiful new kitchen.
