About Kitchen Renovation
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.
Common problems during renovation
Hidden water damage appears after demolition, usually behind the sink or under the dishwasher. Old wiring fails inspection, forcing a partial rewire. Cabinet lead times stretch from 4 weeks to 12 weeks when stock is low. Countertop measurements taken before the cabinets are level lead to gaps. A 10 mm tolerance on cabinet alignment prevents most fit issues.
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.
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.
Cabinet construction and box materials
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.
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.
Countertop options and their limits
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.
Questions to ask before signing
Ask for the payment schedule, the warranty on labour, and the warranty on materials. Request references from kitchens finished in the last 12 months. Confirm who handles permits, delivery coordination, and final cleaning. Also ask which days the crew works and how noisy phases are scheduled around your routine.
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.
How to verify the finished work
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.
