Who this custom cabinetry and joinery service is for

Owners who want made-to-measure joinery rather than a flat-pack run use this service: bespoke carcasses, your choice of door style and finish, soft-close hardware throughout and integrated appliance panelling.

Tell us the kitchen size, the door style you have in mind and your suburb. We aim to respond the same day where possible with a cabinetmaker from our network whose finish style matches your brief.

Custom cabinetry and joinery scope, from carcass to soft-close hardware

Custom cabinetry and joinery briefs routed through our network cover the items below as standard scope. The matched cabinetmaker confirms door style, hardware and integrated appliance planning on the written quote.

On-site measure

A cabinetmaker measures the space and records the existing services before any cutting list is drawn.

Carcass build

Moisture-resistant carcasses cut, edged and assembled to your exact layout in the workshop.

Door style and finish

Shaker, handleless or finger-pull doors in 2-pac, laminate, timber veneer or melamine, sprayed or wrapped to brief.

Soft-close hardware

Blum or Hettich soft-close runners and hinges fitted to every drawer and door as standard.

Butler's pantry joinery

Secondary prep and storage joinery, including a second sink and bench where the floor plan allows.

Integrated appliance panelling

Cabinetry sized so fridge and dishwasher fronts panel in and disappear into the run.

How the matched-renovator process works for custom cabinetry and joinery

Four steps from first contact to a workshop build. Custom joinery typically allows a short design and selection phase before the cabinetry hits fabrication.

  1. 01

    Enquire

    Submit the form with kitchen size, door style and suburb. We aim to respond the same day where possible.

  2. 02

    Match

    Your enquiry is routed to a cabinetmaker whose finish style and material range matches the brief you described.

  3. 03

    Design

    On-site measure, door and hardware selection, and a cutting list confirmed before the carcasses are built.

  4. 04

    Build

    Workshop-built carcasses and doors, then a scribed install with kicker, cornice and end-panel finishing.

Why our custom cabinetry and joinery network suits bespoke Melbourne kitchens

Made-to-measure, not flat-pack

Cabinetry routed through our network is built to your exact layout in the workshop, not assembled from a generic catalogue.

Blum and Hettich hardware as standard

Soft-close runners and hinges, finger-pull and shadow-line details, and integrated appliance carcasses specified to manufacturer tolerances on the quote.

Finish to match the brief

Door material, profile and finish selected to suit the home, from period shaker to handleless contemporary, confirmed in writing before fabrication.

Custom cabinetry briefs are routed to independent cabinetmakers and VBA-registered renovators in our network. We are a referral and matching service, not the registered builder. The matched provider contracts with you direct on the design and build. See the disclaimer for the full terms.

Common Custom Cabinetry and Joinery questions in Melbourne

How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Melbourne?
Most Melbourne kitchen renovations land between $25,000 and $60,000 fully fitted. A budget refresh (door fronts, benchtop, splashback, no layout change) typically starts around $12,000 to $30,000, while premium renovations with natural stone, custom joinery and a butler's pantry can exceed $80,000. Figures are indicative only - the renovator we match you with provides a written fixed-price quote.
How long does a kitchen renovation take in Melbourne?
Allow roughly 6 to 12 weeks from contract signing to handover for a mid-range full renovation. Cabinetry and stone fabrication take around 4 to 6 weeks as a lead-in, on-site work runs 2 to 4 weeks, and finishing adds 1 to 2 weeks. Lead times on cabinets, stone and appliances drive the front half of the project.
What warranty will I get on a kitchen renovation?
Warranty terms vary by provider, product and contract. Cabinetry and installation workmanship warranties are commonly 5 years or more, while appliance and tapware warranties pass through from the manufacturer (typically 2 to 5 years). Ask for all warranty terms in writing before work starts.
Do I need a registered builder for a kitchen renovation in Victoria?
In Victoria, domestic building work carried out as a paid contractor requires registration with the Victorian Building Authority (VBA) in the relevant class. Check the registration of any renovator you engage at vba.vic.gov.au before approving work. Information here is general and not a substitute for the regulator's live record.
When is a written domestic building contract required in Victoria?
A written major domestic building contract is mandatory for domestic building work valued over $10,000 under the Domestic Building Contracts Act 1995 (confirm the current figure at vba.vic.gov.au or cav.vic.gov.au). The contract should set out scope, price, start and end dates, payment stages, the variations process and warranty terms.
