Kitchens made to fit the walls you've got

Custom kitchens, wardrobes and laundries, measured on site and built in the workshop. Soft-close hardware, real timber detailing and scribes cut in properly.

What's included

Every item below is priced in the quote. Anything outside it is written down before it's ordered.

  • On-site measure of every wall

    Old Melbourne houses are rarely square. Every run is measured at three heights and the cabinets are built to those numbers, not to a standard module.

  • Cabinet carcasses and drawers

    Moisture-resistant board carcasses, solid drawer boxes, soft-close runners rated to 40kg on every drawer including the pot drawers.

  • Doors, panels and end scribes

    Two-pack, laminate or timber-veneer fronts, with end panels scribed into the wall so there's no filler strip and no gap catching crumbs.

  • Benchtop coordination

    We template, order and install the benchtop through our stonemason, or fit a timber top in-house if that's the look you're after.

  • Appliance and sink cut-outs

    Cut-outs made to the actual appliance in your kitchen, checked against the manufacturer's clearance spec before anything is cut.

  • Trade coordination

    Plumber and electrician booked to disconnect and reconnect at the right points, so the kitchen isn't out of action longer than it needs to be.

  • Kickboards, cornice and finishing

    All the fiddly bits that make a kitchen look built rather than installed — shadow lines, filler pieces, silicone lines cut in clean.

  • Old kitchen removed

    Strip-out, disposal and a make-good on the walls and floor where the old units sat, ready for tiling or paint.

Kitchen questions

Most of the build happens off site, so the disruption is the install week. Plan on one to two days without a working sink and cooktop, and we'll tell you which days those are before we start so you can organise takeaway.

Yes. If you've had a design done, Dan will build to it and flag anything that won't work on site — like a drawer that fouls the fridge door. If you haven't, we'll sort the layout together at the quote.

Regularly. Built-in robes, walk-in fit-outs, laundry cabinetry with a tub surround, study nooks and under-stair storage all use the same joinery and the same hardware.
