Overall Kitchen Renovation Process

1. Planning and Design

Assessment and Planning: get hyper clear on your goals and vision for your new kitchen, and establish a budget.
Design Phase: Work with a designer or architect to create a layout, select materials, fixtures, appliances, and finalise the overall design concept.

2. Permits and Approvals

Council Permits: Depending on the extent of the renovation, you might need council permits for structural changes or major alterations. It’s crucial to comply with local building codes and regulations.

3. Demolition and Preparation

Demolition: Clearing out the existing kitchen, removing old cabinets, appliances, flooring, and fixtures to prepare the space for the renovation.
Structural Changes: If any structural alterations or modifications are required, such as moving walls or changing plumbing/electrical layouts, this is the stage for it.

Cabinetry and Bench tops: Installing new cabinets, counter tops, and kitchen islands according to the approved design.
Appliances and Fixtures: Fitting and connecting new appliances, sinks, faucets, lighting fixtures, and ventilation systems.

5. Flooring and Finishing

Painting and Finishing Touches: Applying paint, wallpaper, or other finishes to walls, ceilings, and cabinetry.

6. Clean-up and Inspection

Clean-up: Removing debris, cleaning surfaces, and ensuring the renovation area is ready for use.
Inspections: Conducting a final inspection to ensure compliance with building codes and safety standards.
