Cabinetry / Tiling / Painting

You are correct, flooring and painting ( first coat) should be done before cabinetry and your cabinets should finish on top of the tiles. Otherwise the tiler needs to do a bunch of ugly cuts.

yes definitely for the kitchen areas.

I am guessing you are with a volume builder and sometimes they do this. It's a just a very very ugly finish

You want your joinery sitting on your flooring. It's a much cleaner finish.

You also want your gyprock sealed with an undercoat

Doors and skirts get painted after install FYI

The painters are pretty good at figuring it out. You just need to check that they paint the bottom of the doors as the doors will swell over time if this isn't done.

Our carpenters have been trained to give the bottoms a couple of coats before hanging. Some painters are great and take the doors off to paint them. Depends how much the builder is paying though.

I just want to add a seperate clear post so anyone else following this can understand the order that we and other quality builders will work to ( from gyprock):

1. First coat of paint
2. Wet area waterproofing
3. Wet area screeding
4. More waterproofing
5. Wet area floor tiles
6. Door jambs to wet areas ( so the jambs sit above the waterproofing and tiles and don't soak up water
7. Wet area wall tiles and angles
8. Door jambs for the remainder of the home
9. Chosen flooring ( except carpet) so tiles or timber etc
10. Skirts & doors
11. Whilst this is happening the electricians will install downlights & powerpoints etc ( your ceiling should have already been painted)
12. Joinery
13 Stone and final paint
14. Plumbing, aircon and the remainder of electrical fit off
15. Cleaning
16. Caulking
17. Handover


hope this helps

Cheers

Update: Our vanities, kitchen and cabinets etc.. was fully done Monday, before any painting or tiling. Frames, doors and skirtings supposidly were meant to be today, and "mould out", but im not sure exactly what he meant by mould out.
