Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Jul 17, 2012 2:45 am Hi we are looking at upgrading our kitchen bathrooms and laundry. A complete demolish and remodel. We have already purchased spotted gum flooring and had 4 companies come out to give us quotes 3 weeks ago. None of us has got back to us on pricing yet. So if anyone can give me a rough idea what this may cost us. Kitchen (Standard size) Polyurethane doors, pot drawers, cutlery drawers with blum soft closing. Pantry with pull out shelving etc. Similar to the Ikea storage plans. Plumbing will remain in same area. Oven will be moved to a different area. Essa Stone/Granite bench top with water fall edges. Ensuite. Wall needs to be removed to make ensuite bigger. Rip out old tiles an re-tile. Toilet and plumbing remain in same area. New shower to be installed, tiling, vanity cupboards etc. 2nd Bathroom Old tiling to be removed and retile. Plumbing remain the same. New bath and shower to be installed Laundry Rip out old laundry and floors. Install new cupboard and re-tile etc. We are looking at an all white kitchen to go with the spotted gum floors. And another thing has anyone gone with these "One stop renovation companies" that does everything?? Eg: extend homes, tiling, kitchens, bathrooms, painting, floor boards, landscaping etc. I believe they take approx 6 weeks to complete any renovations. Any feed back would be helpfull.

We just had our kitchen done and quotes were given on the spot by two and the third quote was mailed to us in a few days. There's a recent thread on kitchen costs. I'm just on my phone and can't link it right now.

Had another guy come out and said he will send pricing via email on thursday so fingers crossed. Would appreciate it if you can send the thread.

You may also find some useful info about kitchens and bathrooms in their own sub forums too. Good luck with your reno Henley - Wilshire Mk 3 ... I love my house!!

Re: Demolish kitchen and bathrooms 8Jul 23, 2012 5:47 pm Kitchen would cost between 10-15k depending on which hardware options you choose. The stone could cost between $2500-4000 depending on colour and thickness. Good luck getting all you have listed done in 6weeks. Anyone that promises that is telling pork pies!

Thanks for the info....you are right. Just getting companies out to give us a quote is a nightmare!!! Some don't turn up, others cancel at the last minute. The company we purchased our spotted gum floors has gone in receivership (Just found out on Friday). Luckily we paid via credit card, so we are getting our money back from the bank. We have now decided not to go ahead with our renovations and are looking at established houses instead. Don't know if this is just a Perth thing or what?? Re: Demolish kitchen and bathrooms 10Jul 24, 2012 8:21 pm Hi Zora I work for a Reno/extension company and we can turn around a budget estimate on an entire ground floor extension plus first floor addition in 1 week. If these single-trade guys can't get you a quote within 3 days then you shouldn't be working with them anyway... If it takes that long to quote, how long is it going to take to do your job?! I agree with CuttingEdgeKitchens in terms of timeline... It would take 6-8 weeks just for the joinery to be manufactured - and that's only after you've signed off on the drawings. I'd be suggesting your works would take 3-4 months to be done properly. Don't be discouraged though.... If you love the area you live in, and like the house but will "love" it with some improvements I think that with the current market conditions you may be better off doing a reno rather than selling up and moving (thinking agent fees, stamp duty, cost of moving house etc etc etc). Keep in mind that without a kitchen, bathroom and laundry you will probably need to move out so don't forget to budget for this too! Good luck and I hope you can find some decent trades to work with.

Which company do you work for....are you in the Perth area??? I recently went through a similar renovation and move scenario when updating our family home.
