FAQ
Common questions
Comparing quotes? Our checklist shows what a complete renovation quote should include.
Do I need a building permit for a kitchen renovation?
Most kitchen renovations — new cabinets, benchtops, splashbacks and appliance replacements — don't need a building permit. Removing walls, relocating plumbing or electrical work beyond standard connections can. Wyndham City, Maribyrnong and Brimbank councils each have slightly different thresholds. We assess permit requirements as part of every quote at no extra cost.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
A standard kitchen renovation typically takes 2–3 weeks from demolition to handover. Open-plan conversions involving structural work can take 3–5 weeks. Late fixture or appliance delivery is the most common cause of delay, so we recommend locking in selections before work begins.
Can I live at home during the renovation?
Yes, most people stay home during a kitchen renovation. You'll be without a working kitchen for a few weeks, so set up a temporary meal-prep area. We keep the site clean and contained each day.
What's included in your quote?
Labour, project management, cabinet supply and installation, benchtop fabrication and installation, splashback tiling, appliance connection and rubbish removal. Appliances can be supplied by us or by you — we'll confirm at quote stage.
Do you renovate kitchens in new estates like Tarneit and Point Cook?
Yes. Kitchens in Tarneit, Point Cook, Wyndham Vale and nearby estates often follow standard volume-builder layouts, and many builder-grade kitchens from the early 2000s are now due for an upgrade. We check the layout, plumbing and any council requirements at the site visit.
What's the payment schedule?
Staged milestone payments: a deposit on contract signing, a progress payment after cabinet installation and the final payment on handover. No large upfront lump sums.
