About Kitchen Renovation
What makes the price go up
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.
How layout changes shift the budget
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.
Plumbing, gas, and ventilation checks
Shut-off valves older than 15 years often fail during work, so replace them while the walls are open. A range hood must vent to the outside, not into the attic or a wall cavity. Dishwasher air gaps prevent sink backflow. Gas lines need a pressure test after any change. Ask for a copy of every test certificate before walls close.
Typical timeframes for each phase
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.
Lighting and electrical planning
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.
How to verify the finished work
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.
Countertop options and their limits
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.
What pushes the price up
Custom cabinetry costs more than flat-pack, and exotic wood veneers add 20 to 40 percent. Moving plumbing or gas lines adds labour and inspection fees. Stone slabs priced per square meter rise with veining and rarity. Structural changes need an engineer and sometimes a permit. Last-minute design changes after ordering always cost more than deciding early.
Cabinet construction and materials
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.
Common problems during renovation
Cabinets arrive with the wrong dimensions, causing delays of 2 to 4 weeks. Hidden water damage behind tiles is often discovered during demolition, raising the cost. Appliances may not fit the planned openings. A written change-order process helps handle these surprises without arguing about money on the spot.
