Planning and quotes usually take 2 to 4 weeks. Demolition needs 1 to 3 days. Rough plumbing and electrical run 3 to 5 days. Inspection and wall closure add another week. Cabinet installation often takes 1 to 2 weeks. Countertop measuring, fabrication, and fitting need 10 to 15 working days. Flooring and final finishes can stretch the project by 1 to 2 more weeks.
Keeping plumbing and gas connections in their original position saves significant labour. Moving a sink across the room can add several days of pipework and wall repair. Electrical relocations for ovens or dishwashers also raise the total. Confirm the layout in writing before signing, because changes after this point usually cost extra.
Keeping the sink, range, and refrigerator in place keeps cost down. Moving the sink means new supply and drain lines, often 2 to 4 meters each. Relocating a gas range requires a licensed gas fitter and pressure testing. Removing a non-load-bearing wall is cheaper than relocating a load-bearing one, which may need a steel beam and an engineer's sign-off.
Cabinet boxes come in MDF, plywood, or solid wood. Plywood resists moisture better than MDF in areas near the sink. Drawer runners should be rated for at least 30 kg if heavy cookware will be stored. Soft-close hinges last longer than basic models, so ask which brand and model the quote specifies.
Cabinet boxes come in three main types: solid plywood, MDF with a melamine skin, or particleboard. Plywood handles moisture best and lasts longer near the sink. MDF gives a smooth paint finish. Particleboard is the cheapest but sags if it gets wet. Ask the maker about the thickness of the side panels, usually 16 mm to 19 mm, and the drawer slide rating.
Laminate costs less but tolerates heat poorly. Quartz and granite handle daily use well but need sealing every 1 to 2 years for granite. Solid surface can be repaired if scratched, while butcher block requires oiling every few months. Ask about the thickness in mm, seam locations, and who measures the final template.
Quartz resists stains and needs no sealing. Granite is hard but porous, so it asks for yearly sealing. Solid surface seams disappear but scratches easily. Butcher block feels warm but stains and marks from knives. Each material has a maximum unsupported span over dishwashers and sinks, usually 300 mm to 600 mm. Ask about that before ordering.
Porcelain tile rated R10 or higher gives grip and resists water. Vinyl planks handle spills but can fade near strong sunlight. Engineered wood looks warm but may swell if water sits on it. Underlayment quality matters: a 3 mm acoustic layer reduces noise and levels minor subfloor dips.
Porcelain tile handles spills and dropped pans, but the grout needs sealing every 1 to 2 years. Luxury vinyl planks are waterproof and softer underfoot, yet heat from ovens can warp cheap products. Engineered wood looks like real wood but tolerates only limited moisture. Natural stone is durable but slippery when wet unless textured or honed.
Plan at least 3 circuits: ambient ceiling lights, task lighting under cabinets, and appliance outlets. LED strips with 3000K to 4000K colour temperature suit most kitchens. Ask how many sockets will be added and where, since extension cords across work areas are a safety risk. Confirm breaker capacity with the professional.
