Selection of materials, finishes, hardware, appliances, sink, taps etc. Check out our materials page for inspiration.

NOTE: No changes to plans allowed after this point.

The check-measure process is the final and very specific measuring of the area where the kitchen is to be installed. This cannot be taken from plans or be a rough idea – no matter what the area is like or how your kitchen is to be placed in it.

If you are renovating, removing walls or extending, it is important to note that check-measuring must go ahead at a particular time as discussed with your designer. Check-measuring is always done at a time that suits the production of the kitchen. Delay in this timing due will set back production.

It is essential that all plans and specifications from a design point of view (including colour, materials, finishes, appliances, handles, tap ware, flooring etc.) must be completed prior to check-measuring. If any of these details are not finalised, it could delay kitchen manufacture, which will in turn delay installation.

Depending on the time of year, another manufacturing time slot may be much further down the track, causing considerable delay to you. Until the check measure is complete, manufacture of your kitchen in our factory cannot be commenced.

Manufacture begins in our factory only after all measurements have been checked. This ensures that your kitchen fits as specified & the colours and materials are right.

Disconnection of services & removal of existing cabinetry, appliances & fittings.

(if necessary)

Commonly known as a 'rough in'.

This will depend upon whether the floor runs under cabinetry or not. Timber floors are best to be polished AFTER the installation of the kitchen to avoid scratching during installation.

Clear ample space for cabinets to be delivered, this will provide sufficient room for the installer to work in the kitchen.

Our expert tradespeople will install your cabinetry.

If you wish, you can organise your own tradespeople. They will need to coordinate with our installation dates to ensure everything runs smoothly. You can do as much or as little as you wish.

Some clients like to organise their own trades. Some even remove their old kitchen & prepare the room for the new kitchen, which our cabinetmakers then install.

- Stone bench tops might be two weeks later, depending on the time of year & how busy the stonemasons are.

- Stone bench tops require templates to be produced, which can only be made once the kitchen is installed.

- The manufacture of the bench tops may be 5 – 15 days (depending on the time of year).

Connections for the benchtop waiting period can be arranged at an additional cost.

Glass splash backs are measured by the glazier after the bench top has been installed. The timeline for other splash back materials will vary.

(If required to be installed directly on top of stone bench tops)

Gas hotplates may not be connected by the plumber until the splash back directly adjacent is fireproof (200mm from burners).
