Honest, practical answers to the questions Perth homeowners ask before commissioning custom cabinetry — what a kitchen costs, how long it takes, which finishes and benchtops last, what the engineered stone ban means, who makes and installs the cabinets, and what the warranty covers. If your question isn't here, ask us at a free consultation.
From your first consultation to the moment we hand the keys back, plan for eight to twelve weeks. About three weeks is design and approvals, four to seven weeks is fabrication while your existing kitchen stays in use, and roughly a week is on-site installation. Stone benchtops add another 10 to 12 days because they're templated only after the cabinets are in place.
Every Bhadu project is individually specified. Layout, materials, internal fittings, appliances and installation conditions determine the investment.
We prepare a project-specific quotation after discussing your brief. This makes the scope, finishes and inclusions clear before you commit, whether you are planning a cabinet facelift, a new kitchen or whole-home joinery.
No. We build kitchens, walk-in and built-in wardrobes, laundries, bathroom vanities, outdoor alfresco kitchens, butler's pantries and full commercial fitouts for hospitality, retail and medical clients across Perth. If it's cabinetry, we build it — and we apply the same standards whether it's a single wardrobe or a full restaurant fitout.
We service the entire Perth metropolitan area, from Joondalup in the north to Mandurah in the south, and out to the hills. For commercial and trade projects we also undertake work across the South West. In-home consultations are free across all metro suburbs.
For most of the project, yes. Cabinets are fabricated off-site over four to seven weeks while your existing kitchen stays fully functional. You'll only lose the kitchen during the actual install week — typically four to seven working days. We'll help you plan a temporary kitchenette in the laundry or dining room before we start.
For most Perth homes, we recommend laminate. Modern laminates resist heat, moisture, scratches and the Perth sun in ways that two-pack paint and vinyl wrap simply don't. Two-pack chips and yellows; vinyl wrap delaminates above ovens and dishwashers within a few summers.
Laminate, properly specified, looks intentional and good — and quietly performs for fifteen to twenty years. We've written more about this in our Journal.
Yes. All Bhadu cabinetry comes with a comprehensive structural warranty on the cabinet construction, plus the manufacturer warranties on hardware (Blum, Häfele), benchtops (Caesarstone) and appliances.
We've been building kitchens in Perth long enough that most warranty calls aren't actually warranty issues — they're "can you come and adjust this hinge for us, please" calls, which we treat the same way: promptly, and at no charge.
Still have a question? We'd rather you ask than wonder.
