Who this kitchen design and 3d planning service is for

Owners who want the layout resolved before they commit use this service: a designer drives the brief, tests layouts, produces 3D renders and a material schedule the matched renovator then prices.

Tell us the kitchen size, your visual reference points and your suburb. We aim to respond the same day where possible with a designer from our network whose style matches your brief.

Kitchen design, custom cabinetry and 3D planning scope

Design and 3D planning briefs routed through our network cover the items below as standard scope. The output is a measured plan and material schedule the matched renovator prices into a fixed written quote.

On-site measure and brief

A designer measures the space, records services and captures how you cook and entertain before drawing begins.

Layout options

Two or three layout directions tested against traffic flow, the work triangle and seating before one is chosen.

3D renders

Plan view, elevations and perspective renders so you see the kitchen before any cabinet is fabricated.

Material and finish selection

Door material, benchtop, splashback, handle and paint colour selected together so the palette resolves.

Appliance and storage planning

Appliance sizes, the butler's pantry and storage zones planned into the cabinetry from the start.

Documentation for quoting

A measured plan and material schedule the matched renovator prices into a fixed written quote.

Why a design-led approach matters before any cabinetry is fabricated

Design-led, not catalogue-led

The layout is resolved by a designer against how you cook and entertain before any cabinet is fabricated, not pulled from a generic template.

3D renders before fabrication

Plan view, elevations and perspective renders presented at sign-off so you see the kitchen, joinery profiles and appliance planning before the build.

A plan you own

You receive a measured plan and material schedule you can take to the matched renovator, so the quote is priced against a clear, fixed scope.

Design and 3D planning is carried out by the independent designer or renovator we connect you with. We are a referral and matching service, not the designer. Any building work that follows is contracted with you direct by a VBA-registered renovator under a written contract. See the disclaimer for the full terms.

Common Kitchen Design and 3D Planning questions in Melbourne

What is a butler's pantry and is it worth it?
A butler's pantry is a secondary prep and storage room behind the main kitchen, often with a second sink and bench. It keeps the main kitchen clear for entertaining and is one of the most-requested features on larger Melbourne renovations. Whether it suits depends on your floor plan and budget - the renovator can model it at the design stage.
Do you provide 3D design and renders?
Many Melbourne renovators include a 3D design or render at the quote stage so you can see the kitchen before any cabinet is made. Confirm whether design and renders are included or charged separately when you compare providers.
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.
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.
