Very do-able but you need alot of time staying home and liasing all the job, who would do what first etc. Re: Bypass the Kitchen companies - Self Manage - A better wa 12Oct 01, 2010 12:28 am we used a cabinet maker just for cabinets and installation and organised the rest ourselves, it was easy. we found that even the kitchen companies in perth (that we approached, anway) wouldn't do electric or plumbers, and just got quotes for the benchtop that is easy to do yourself anyway. Our cabinet maker provided drawings and templates for the bench. we went with a cabinet maker because it was highly customisable, the kitchen companies had set drawer layouts, for example, that could not be modified, or had a limited range of internal fixings. like everything, the more quotes you get and the more questions you ask the better the deal you end up with.

It was also our 'bargain buy' as they are inexpensive ceramic tiles. They took a while to find but DH knew they were right as soon as he saw one at the tile shop.

Can you please send me the links/contacts as you have already done the hard work. The whole process is too overwhelming!! The house is in suburbs of brisbane so I can use ur contacts. Hi guys, I want to do some floor levelling before laying the planks and am considering doing it with self-levelling or yellow tongue PB board. I am wondering which one… 0 6596 Bigger the better for storage for me IMO. But I guess it's harder to tell the cost/benefit in your example - mainly the 'cost'? If you go 700mm, what are you doing extra… 2 1688 brokers will also be in a position to get you a better rate than the advertised rate most times. 6 7620 |
