Common Questions.

How long does a full kitchen renovation take in NZ?

A full kitchen renovation in New Zealand typically takes around 8–13 weeks from initial design to final handover. This includes design and quoting (2–3 weeks), manufacture (4–6 weeks), delivery and installation (1–2 weeks), and finishing trades such as plumbing and electrical (1–3 weeks).

What is the longest part of a kitchen renovation?

Manufacture is usually the longest single phase — custom cabinetry is built to your exact specification, which takes 4–6 weeks. Booking your slot early and confirming decisions quickly keeps the overall project moving.

Can I speed up my kitchen renovation?

Yes. Choosing a new build (where plans are already set), a standard rather than bespoke specification, and avoiding structural or plumbing changes all shorten the timeline. Decisiveness at the design stage is the biggest lever.
