Frequently Asked Questions
What should I include in a kitchen renovation checklist?
A good kitchen renovation checklist should cover the essentials: set a budget, define your layout, choose cabinetry, benchtops, appliances, lighting, flooring, splashbacks and finishes. Also include a timeline, list of required trades (plumber, electrician, tiler, etc.), and permits if structural changes are involved. Don’t forget practical considerations like power points, ventilation and rubbish removal. Having a clear checklist keeps your renovation on track, ensures nothing is overlooked and helps you compare quotes more effectively when working with professionals.
How long does it take to design a kitchen before building starts?
The design phase of a kitchen renovation can take anywhere from 1-4 weeks, depending on how complex the design is and how quickly decisions are made. This stage includes consultations, measuring, creating floor plans, selecting materials and finalising quotes. Rushing this part can lead to mistakes or regrets later, so it's best to take your time. A thoughtful, well-detailed plan makes the build process much smoother and helps avoid costly changes during construction.
What is the return on investment for a kitchen renovation?
Kitchen renovations can offer a strong return on investment, especially when done well. On average, homeowners can expect to recoup around 60–80% of the renovation cost when selling, with updated kitchens being one of the biggest drawcards for buyers. Even if you’re not selling immediately, a well-designed kitchen adds everyday value and improves the functionality of your home. Keeping the style neutral, choosing durable materials and working with experienced professionals all help maximise both lifestyle benefits and future resale value.
