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.
