How a custom kitchen gets documented before anyone builds it

Custom joinery is manufactured once, to a fixed set of dimensions. Anything left unresolved on a drawing becomes a problem on site, so most of the work happens in the documentation rather than the workshop.

What we ask for up front

1. 01PlansArchitectural drawings, or a measured drawing of the existing space for a renovation.
2. 02AppliancesMake and model numbers, so cut-outs, clearances and services are drawn correctly.
3. 03FinishesCabinetry colours and profiles, plus the benchtop stone.
4. 04ServicesWhere power, water and waste land, so nothing collides with a drawer or a panel.

Built to fit as built

Walls are rarely square and floors are rarely level. We build installation tolerance into the detailing, with scribes and filler panels where they are needed, so the joinery can be adjusted on site without looking adjusted. Where a measurement is critical we check it against site conditions rather than assuming the plan.

Questions we get at drawing stage

Can I change my mind after the proposal?

Yes. Dimensions in the initial proposal are indicative and get refined at detailing. Changes are straightforward before sign-off and expensive after manufacture.

Do you supply the stone as well?

Yes. Benchtops and splashbacks are coordinated with the cabinetry so the finishes work as one palette.

How long does it take?

Typically 8 to 12 weeks from confirmed drawings and deposit to delivery, depending on the scope.
