What affects the price
— Cabinetry run and layout. More linear metres of cupboards and benchtop means more joinery, the biggest cost block.
— Flat-pack versus custom. Custom joinery fits your space exactly but costs substantially more than modular flat-pack.
— Benchtop material. Laminate is cheapest; porcelain and natural stone cost several times more (engineered stone is now banned in Australia).
— Moving services. Relocating the sink, cooktop or adding an island brings extra plumbing and electrical cost.
— Appliances. Usually a separate budget — $2,000 to $20,000+ depending on brands and integration.
Tips before you post
— Keep the sink and cooktop where they are if the budget is tight — it's the single biggest saving.
— Since the engineered stone ban, compare porcelain, laminate and natural stone benchtops on both price and durability.
— Get an itemised quote splitting cabinetry, benchtops, appliances and trades so you can compare like for like.
