A kitchen for Dorrigo,
drawn to your walls.
A kitchen cut to your measurements rather than picked from catalogue widths, packed flat for the run to Dorrigo or delivered with the doors already hung and adjusted.
The short answer
A Dorrigo kitchen is quoted from your measurements and photographs, not from a site visit, and the quote is fixed and itemised with freight shown as its own line. It is cut in Rockhampton and ships south along the Pacific Highway. You choose flat packed or delivered assembled on the same drawing. Fitting is done by your own trades — our installation team works Central Queensland only.
What brief does Dorrigo actually set?
Farm houses take a kind of use that suburban kitchens do not — boots, buckets, big cooking, and a back door that is really the front door. The specification we ship assumes that rather than hoping otherwise. Retirement and holiday-let building, which means kitchenettes and compact kitchens outnumber full renovations.
What is the run to Dorrigo?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Pacific Highway. Flat cartons are labelled to a numbered drawing, one per cabinet where possible, with doors and fronts wrapped separately and the Blum hardware bagged against the cabinet it belongs to. Assembled orders arrive as finished boxes, doors hung and adjusted, which takes more truck space and shows as a higher freight line. Both are on the same quote so the choice is a number rather than a guess.
Who fits it in Dorrigo?
Your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer, plus a licensed plumber and a licensed electrician for their parts. Ask each for a licence number and check it yourself — in New South Wales that is NSW Fair Trading. Every order ships with dimensioned service drawings showing each waste, water point and outlet, so the trades rough in to the plan rather than to a guess. Our install guide sets out the three trades and the fixed order they work in.
Can you match something I have already seen?
Usually, if what you like is the door, the colour and the proportion rather than a specific brand's product. Send photographs with the quote request and say what it is you are responding to in them, because that is more useful than a style name. Our styles guide works through the eighteen looks people ask for most and what each one actually needs.
Why is the benchtop quoted separately?
Laminate ships with the kitchen. Stone does not, and it should not: a stone benchtop is templated off the cabinets after they are installed and level, by a fabricator near you in Dorrigo, because a slab cut to a drawing rather than to the room is a slab that does not fit. We quote the cabinetry and the laminate; for stone we tell you the cut-out sizes and the fabricator works from the installed run.
What if the walls in Dorrigo are not square?
They will not be. Almost no wall in any house is, which is why every run is drawn with scribe allowance at the ends and why we ask for wall measurements at three heights rather than one. The scribe pieces are the strips that take up the difference between a square cabinet and a wall that leans. They ship with the order, and your installer cuts them to the wall on the day.
Where else do you ship in the Mid North Coast?
We ship to Coffs Harbour, Port Macquarie, Taree, Kempsey, Forster, Nambucca Heads, Wauchope, Laurieton and the rest of the region on the same route. The the Mid North Coast page covers the region, and New South Wales covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
The humid months do the damage quietly: water tracks along a glued edge, lifts it, and the board underneath drinks it. A laser-bonded edge has no seam for that to start in, which is why every panel we send is finished that way.
The same three questions decide any kitchen anywhere: board thickness and moisture rating, edging method, hardware brand. Ours are 18mm moisture-resistant, laser-bonded and Blum, and they are printed on every quote. How to judge a flat pack.

Frequently asked
Dorrigo — questions
If your question is not here, call the studio. We would rather talk it through than have you guess.
Ask us directly →Do you deliver flat pack kitchens to Dorrigo?
Yes. Dorrigo is served south along the Pacific Highway, and freight is quoted to your postcode as its own line on the quote rather than folded into the cabinetry price.
Do you install kitchens in Dorrigo?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Dorrigo your builder, carpenter or kitchen installer fits it, working from the dimensioned service drawings that ship with every order. Our install guide covers the three trades and the order they work in.
Should I order flat pack or assembled to Dorrigo?
Both are quoted on the same drawing. Flat cartons ship for less and get through tight doorways; assembled arrives with carcasses built and doors adjusted so your installer is fitting rather than building. Over this distance most the Mid North Coast orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Dorrigo?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In New South Wales, NSW Fair Trading is the register to check against.
What board and hardware do you use?
18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and Blum soft-close hinges and runners on every cabinet, in every state. The specification is printed on your quote so you can hold it against anything else you are offered.
Is there a deposit to get a Dorrigo quote?
No. The drawing and the itemised quote cost nothing and carry no obligation. Payment terms for the order itself are stated on that quote.
Delivered assembled
The assembly is done
before it arrives.
Carcasses built square on a bench, Blum hardware fitted, doors hung and adjusted to even gaps. On site you are fixing finished cabinets to a wall, not building them on the floor. Your builder or installer levels it, fixes it and fits the benchtop, working from our drawings. Prefer to build it yourself? The same kitchen ships flat pack.
