Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a kitchen renovation or new build take?
The timeframe for a kitchen renovation or new build depends on the scope and complexity of the project. A straightforward renovation might take 2-4 weeks once materials are ready, while more detailed projects involving custom joinery, layout changes, or structural work can take 6-8 weeks or longer. New kitchen builds are often tied to the overall home construction schedule but typically require 1-3 weeks for full installation once fabrication is complete. Timelines may also be affected by material availability, subcontractor coordination, and the size of the kitchen. Clear planning and good communication can help keep things on track.
What should I consider before renovating my kitchen?
Before starting a kitchen renovation, it’s important to think about how you use the space daily. Consider the current layout—what works and what doesn’t? Do you need more storage, better lighting, updated appliances or a more open feel? It’s also important to look at your household’s cooking and entertaining habits, as these influence benchtop space, appliance choices and flow. Structural limitations, such as wall positions or plumbing locations, should also be reviewed early in the process. Finally, consider how long you plan to stay in the home, as this can influence design decisions and the level of investment.
What is the difference between a kitchen renovation and a new kitchen build?
A kitchen renovation updates an existing kitchen; this could involve replacing cabinetry, updating appliances, changing benchtops, or reconfiguring the layout to make better use of the space. It’s often chosen when the kitchen’s structure is sound but the design, functionality or condition needs improvement. A new kitchen build, however, is designed from scratch as part of a new home or extension. It allows for more flexibility in layout, placement of services and material selection since you’re not working within the limitations of an existing structure. Both options require careful planning, but new builds usually offer a blank canvas, while renovations often involve working around existing constraints.
