Length of cabinets
An L-shaped or U-shaped kitchen with top and bottom cabinets on every wall can double the carpentry cost of a single-wall kitchen.
Countertop material
Sintered stone and natural stone cost about twice as much as quartz or solid surface.
Door finishes and fittings
Laminate is the most affordable. Spray paint, veneer and glass doors, soft-close drawers and pull-out storage add cost.
Hacking and wet works
Resale kitchens often need new tiles, plumbing and waterproofing before carpentry goes in.
Ways to save
- Keep the layout and plumbing where they are; moving the sink or hob adds cost.
- Use quartz for most of the counter and save premium stone for an island top.
- Mix closed cabinets with some open shelving.
Timeline: About 3 to 5 weeks for a BTO kitchen, 4 to 6 weeks to replace cabinets and backsplash, and 6 to 8 weeks for a full renovation with hacking and tiling. See our renovation timeline guide.
