Your Questions Answered

Straight Answers to Your Biggest Questions

01How does the whole process work from start to finish?

It’s a three-phase journey designed to give you total peace of mind. Phase one is planning, where you get a 3D design and fixed-price quote. Phase two is the build, where we manage everything for you. Phase three is the handover of your stunning, move-in-ready kitchen, complete with your 10-year warranty.

02How long will my kitchen renovation actually take?

The timeline depends on the scale of your project. The key difference with our service is certainty. Because we manage every trade directly, we provide a realistic and reliable timeline in your contract, preventing the endless delays that can happen when you manage trades yourself.

03What kind of communication can I expect during the build?

You'll have a single, dedicated Site Manager as your point of contact. We provide regular, proactive updates so you’re never left in the dark. You're also welcome to visit the site at any time to see the progress for yourself. Our process is built on total transparency.

04Can't I save money by just hiring and managing the trades myself?

While it might seem cheaper, managing your own trades often leads to significant hidden costs and stress. If one trade is delayed, it creates a costly domino effect. We take all of that risk and logistical chaos off your plate, which almost always saves our clients money and months of headaches.

05Who is actually managing my project on a daily basis?

Your project will be personally overseen by an experienced Site Manager. Their sole job is to ensure the build is progressing on schedule, the quality meets our exacting standards, and any potential issues are solved before they ever become a problem for you.

06What makes you different from a standard builder or a kitchen cabinet company?

We're licensed builders who specialise exclusively in delivering complete, high-end kitchen renovations. A cabinet company won't manage the other trades, and a general builder may not have specialised knowledge in kitchen design. We handle everything from the initial design concept right through to the final handover.

07What if I have no idea about design or what I want?

That’s perfectly fine. Our process is designed to help you discover and refine your vision. Our interior designer will walk you through different styles, materials, and layouts, making suggestions based on your home and lifestyle. We make the design process enjoyable and stress-free.

08Do I need to have my own architectural plans before I contact you?

Not at all. We handle the entire process, including creating all the necessary 3D models and construction-ready drawings. If you do have existing plans from an architect, we're more than happy to work with them.

09Do you handle all the council permits and paperwork?

Yes. We take care of the entire application and submission process for you, ensuring everything is compliant and approved before any work begins.

10What areas of Melbourne do you service?

We primarily service the eastern and surrounding suburbs of Melbourne. The best way to find out if we can service your area is to get in touch with our team for a quick chat.

11Do you have your own team of tradespeople?

Yes. We have a core team of trusted, licensed, and fully vetted subcontractors whom we have worked with for years. This ensures a consistent standard of high-quality workmanship and reliability on every project.

12What kind of materials and brands do you use?

We're not locked into any single supplier. This gives you the freedom to choose from a wide range of high-quality materials and brands. We can provide recommendations and access our network of trusted suppliers for everything from benchtops to tapware.

13Can I supply my own appliances or materials?

Yes, you can. We're happy to install appliances or specific materials you have sourced yourself. We'll coordinate with you to ensure the items are on-site at the correct time to avoid any delays.

14How do payments work? What is the payment schedule?

We follow the standard schedule outlined in our HIA building contracts. This involves an initial deposit, followed by progress payments at the completion of major stages. The schedule will be clearly laid out in your contract.

15How much of my own time will this process take up?

Our service is designed for busy homeowners. Your main time commitment is during the initial planning phase, where you'll make the enjoyable design decisions. Once construction starts, we handle everything.

16Do you take on smaller kitchen projects, or only large-scale renovations?

We specialise in complete, start-to-finish renovations, but we're happy to discuss smaller kitchen makeovers. The best way to see if we're a good fit is to book a free consultation.

17What happens after the renovation is finished? What about warranties?

Our commitment doesn't end at handover. Your new kitchen is protected by a comprehensive 10-year structural warranty. If any minor issues arise during the standard defects liability period, we'll return promptly to rectify them.

18Are you fully licensed and insured?

Yes. We're fully licensed with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) and carry all necessary insurances, including Domestic Building Insurance (DBI) and Public Liability Insurance. This provides you with complete protection.

19What if I want to make changes during the construction process?

We understand you might change your mind. If you request a change, we'll document it and provide you with a clear quote for the cost and any impact on the timeline. We'll only proceed with the change once you have approved it.

20How do I get started?

The first step is to book a free, no-obligation consultation. You can do this by calling us or filling out the contact form on our website. We'll arrange a time to meet and provide your complimentary 3D design and fixed-price quote.
