Open every drawer and door. Run water in the sink while the dishwasher drains to check for gurgling. Test every outlet with a plug-in tester. Place a level on the countertop and across the floor. Confirm the range hood actually pulls air, not just blows it. Walk the room with the contractor and write a punch list before the final payment.
Demolition takes 1 to 3 days for an average home kitchen. Cabinet installation needs 2 to 4 days once units are delivered. Countertop measuring happens after cabinets are fixed, then fabrication takes 7 to 14 days. Tile or flooring work adds another 3 to 5 days, so total time often falls between 4 and 8 weeks.
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.
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.
Replace supply valves older than 10 years while walls are open. A range hood should vent outside, not into a cabinet, to remove moisture properly. Ask for the hood airflow in cubic metres per hour; a value below 250 m³/h is usually weak for daily cooking. Confirm dishwasher and fridge water lines are included.
Custom-built cabinets cost more than flat-pack but fit unusual spaces better. Stone fabrication, plumbing relocation, and electrical upgrades each add visible amounts. Removal of old materials and disposal fees can also raise the total. Request a line-item quote so each charge can be reviewed before approval.
Check that doors and drawers align within 2 mm and close fully. Run water in the sink for 10 to 15 minutes and inspect underneath for leaks. Test every outlet with a small appliance. Keep a punch list of small defects to fix before final payment, since corrections are easier when they are written down.
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.
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.
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.
