No showroom in Gordonvale.
No catalogue widths either.
We do not have a showroom in Gordonvale and we do not need one. Send the measurements, a designer draws it, and you see the drawing and the price before anything is cut.
The short answer
Yes. Nothing about Gordonvale changes the product: 18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and soft-close hardware on every cabinet, cut to your drawing and freighted north along the Bruce Highway. What changes is the freight line on the quote and who fits it, because installation outside Central Queensland is your own builder or installer rather than us.
What is a kitchen up against in Gordonvale?
Older housing stock means walls that are not straight and ceilings that are not level, and a catalogue kitchen deals with both by filling the gap with a panel. Cutting to the measured room is the difference between a kitchen that fits and one that has been made to fit. Wet-season humidity here is the hardest test a kitchen carcass gets anywhere in Australia, and it is the reason we do not sell 16mm standard board at all.
How is a Gordonvale order freighted?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted north along the Bruce 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 Gordonvale?
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 Queensland that is QBCC. 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.
Do I need council approval to replace a kitchen?
Replacing a kitchen in the same footprint is generally not something that needs approval on its own, but moving plumbing or structural work can change that, and it is your local council that decides, not us. Check with the Gordonvale council directly before you commit to a layout that moves the sink. If the kitchen is going into a new secondary dwelling the approval question is a different and much bigger one.
What does the quote actually itemise?
Every cabinet as its own line with its width and what is in it, the benchtop by material and linear metre, the hardware by brand, the doors by finish, and freight to your Gordonvale postcode on a line of its own. No allowances, no provisional sums, no "from" price with the catches left out. If you take an item off, you see exactly what comes off the total, which is the point of itemising it in the first place.
Would a kitchenette suit the room better?
If the room in Gordonvale is a studio, a granny flat, an under-house conversion or a short-stay unit, a kitchenette may be the right answer and it starts at $4,500. Sink, bench, cold storage, and a cooktop where the run allows. Same carcasses and the same Blum hardware as a full kitchen, in a fraction of the length - and it fits through a doorway that a full run would not.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
A kitchen here spends months in air that never really dries out. That is why we will not quote 16mm standard board at any price — it is the cheaper option that costs the most, because a swollen carcass cannot be adjusted back into square.
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.
- 18mm moisture-resistant board
- Laser-bonded edging, no glue line
- Soft-close hinges and full-extension runners
- Cut to your drawing, not catalogue widths
- Pre-drilled and labelled per cabinet
- Fixed itemised quote, freight its own line
What goes inside it
Anyone can sell you boxes.
This is the part that takes knowing.
Carcasses and doors decide how long it lasts. The fittings decide whether you like using it — and most suppliers charge for them at the end. These are included in your Gordonvale kitchen, not quoted as extras once the number is agreed. That is the difference, and it is the one most suppliers will not match.
Under-sink storage
Organisers shaped around the trap and the waste, which is the reason that cupboard is usually wasted.

Magic corner pull-out
The blind corner stops being the cupboard you empty twice a year. The front tray swings out and the back tray follows it.

Plate and pot racks
Pegs and rails inside a deep drawer so plates stand up and pots stop stacking into each other.

No showroom. No account.
A person draws it.
Send the wall lengths, the ceiling height and a photo of each corner. A designer draws your kitchen to the room and sends the drawing back with a fixed, itemised quote — flat packed and delivered assembled, freight to your postcode on each.
- Nothing to pay to see the drawing or the quote
- Changes redrawn until the plan is right
- Cut only after you sign the drawing off
- Freight quoted as its own line, never folded in

Frequently asked
Gordonvale — 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 Gordonvale?
Yes. Gordonvale is served north along the Bruce 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 Gordonvale?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Gordonvale 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 Gordonvale?
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 Far North Queensland orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Gordonvale?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In Queensland, QBCC is the register to check against.
What board and hardware do you use?
18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and soft-close hinges and full-extension runners on every cabinet, in every state, with the hardware brand named on your quote. The specification is printed on your quote so you can hold it against anything else you are offered.
Can I see a sample before ordering in Gordonvale?
Yes. Door, board and edging samples are posted out, and for most people that settles the colour question better than a screen does. Ask when you send the dimensions through.
Can I add pull-downs and organisers to a Gordonvale kitchen?
Yes, and they are quoted per item rather than bundled into a package you did not ask for. Pull-down wall baskets, magic corners, tall larder pull-outs and drawer organisers can all go into a Gordonvale order. If you order delivered assembled they are fitted before it ships; flat packed, they arrive with the cabinet they belong to.
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.
