Pricing guide
Costs are mainly driven by the choice of materials and the level of on-site finishing required. Standard melamine carcasses are typically less complex than painted or veneered custom joinery, while adding a benchtop usually increases materials and finishing time. Site conditions such as uneven walls or any required structural alterations, plus after-hours attendance or restricted access, can also affect the final cost.
Material and finish level
Standard melamine is usually simpler to install than painted, veneered or bespoke finishes, which tend to require more labour and higher-grade materials.
Inclusion of a benchtop
Adding a benchtop (desk or vanity) typically adds material requirements and extra on-site finishing time.
Size and internal fittings
Long runs, multiple compartments or bespoke internal fittings generally increase labour hours and installation complexity.
Wall condition and structural work
If walls are uneven or structural alterations are needed, contractors will usually allow extra time for remedial work and adjustments.
Timing and site access
After-hours attendance, tight lead times or restricted access typically lengthen the job or attract higher labour rates.
