Why our custom cabinetry and design network suits bespoke kitchen briefs

Designer-led cabinetry briefs

Custom cabinetry routed through our network is handled by designers (KBDi-affiliated where applicable) before fabrication, not driven from a generic catalogue.

3D renders before any cabinet is cut

Plan view, elevations and perspective renders presented at sign-off so you see the kitchen layout, joinery profiles and integrated appliance planning before the workshop build begins.

Blum and Hettich hardware as standard

Soft-close drawer runners, finger-pull and shadow-line door details, and integrated appliance carcasses specified to manufacturer tolerances on the quote.

Custom cabinetry and kitchen design briefs are routed to independent designers and QBCC-licensed cabinetmakers in our network. We are a referral platform, not the licensed builder. The matched designer or builder contracts with you direct on the design and build. See the disclaimer for the full terms.

Common Custom Cabinetry and Kitchen Design questions on the Gold Coast

Will I get 3D design renders before work starts?
Yes. Custom cabinetry and design briefs include plan view, elevations and perspective renders for sign-off before any cabinet is fabricated, so you see the layout, joinery profiles and integrated appliances first.
What drives the cost of a Gold Coast kitchen renovation up or down?
The main cost drivers are cabinetry quantity and finish (laminate versus 2-pac), benchtop material, whether the layout and plumbing move, appliance grade, and access on high-rise or canal-front sites. Labour is roughly 30 to 40 percent of the total.
Can you add a kitchen island or butler's pantry?
Yes. Island benches and butler's pantries are among the most requested additions on the Gold Coast, especially in larger Robina, Mudgeeraba and Hope Island homes. The designer confirms it fits the layout and services at the consult.
What are soft-close drawers and are they standard?
Soft-close runners and hinges decelerate drawers and doors so they do not slam. Blum and Hettich soft-close hardware is specified as standard on custom cabinetry briefs through our network.
How long is the workmanship warranty on a kitchen renovation?
Most reputable Gold Coast renovators offer 5 to 10 years on workmanship and custom cabinetry. The QBCC scheme also provides statutory cover of 6 years 6 months for structural and 12 months for non-structural defects.
