all right guys ive finally succumbed to the missus and agreed to redo the kitchen so I need some contacts??

anyone here from Perth and a cabinet maker/work in a kitchen company/ recommend a kitchen company to get a quote from?? we've had a couple of quotes and to say inflated is an understatement !!

wont be anything too fancy, about 3-4 sets of 800mm cupboards with 1 corner cupboard, 1 oven unit, and 1 set of 750mm wide cutlery drawers with soft shut things or something..

Will need all carcasses/doors and stone benchtops..

I can arrange the benchtops if need be and will gladly pay cash straight into someones pocket rather than the ATO bitches

Im going to love burning my mod money!!!

hehe, not sure I can help with the "Kitchen dudes"

but I can help you with the "cleaning dudes" - www.cleaningdudes.com.au

That's keen....traveling to Perth and all.

sorry mate too far for me to travel , if you need help with design let me know . just make sure you use good hinges & dwer runners ( blum -- good german gear ) regards tony

hey mate, yeh blum metabox and blum tandembox ring a bell - I think that's the type of drawers etc they've quoted us on..

I think the problem over here is that we are still in a boom and the kitchen reno companies are all flat out and can charge what they want - quite a few even said no one can even come out for a measure up til Nov/Dec or even Jan/Feb, then another 3 months til it can be installed !!

make sure you get plenty of quotes. I want to leading kitchen company in sydney and they quoted me 28,000 and I said gee that's a bit steep, the guy quoting took one breath then quoted me 25,000! I told him he had no chance getting my business seeing that he was prepared too try and screw me for 3,000 minimum just like that. End of story is I was able to get whole kitchen done for 13,000.

Along with the bathroom its the most expensive room in the house so be prepared to shell out. And yes blum is good gear.

hey buddy,

nice kitchens there mate!

Our kithen is a basic U shaped one, no overheads or pantry doors or anything and the average quote for the following has been around $8-10k ;

starting from furthest left of U and heading clockwise.

1 x 800mm cupboard

1 bank 3 x 750mm drawers with soft close.

1 x dishwasher recess

1 x bin recess

1 x 45mm x 45mm corner unit no lazy susans etc

1 x 750mm cupboard

1 x 750mm cupboard with sink recess

1 x oven unit @ 45deg angle

1 bank 3 x 900mm drawers no soft close @ 45deg angle to complete U shape

style 1 gloss doors.. it averages out at about $1000 per unit which I cant see justified anywhere !!! This is also no benchtops either, they've ranged from $3600-9000 for 20mm solid granite, to 40mm engineered with downturns etc
