Questions before contact

Useful answers for this scope.

Can the kitchen layout change?+

It may, but structure, plumbing, gas, electrical, ventilation and circulation must be checked first.

What should I send?+

Send photos, approximate dimensions, appliance intentions, storage problems, suburb and any plans.

Are appliances automatically included?+

No. Supply, installation and service requirements should be confirmed as explicit scope items.

What affects a kitchen renovation quote?+

Cabinetry extent, benchtop and splashback selections, appliance requirements, services changes, demolition, access and adjoining finishes all shape the developed scope.

Can a smaller kitchen renovation keep the existing layout?+

Potentially. A smaller Melbourne kitchen renovation can focus on cabinetry, benchtops, storage, appliances or selected services, but retained items, clearances and connection points should be checked before the scope is fixed.

How is a kitchen renovation timeline worked out?+

Timing depends on design decisions, selections, custom items, approvals if relevant, trade sequencing and access. It should be discussed after those inputs are clearer.
