A kitchen drawn for Hamilton Island,
not for a catalogue.
A kitchen cut to your measurements rather than picked from catalogue widths, packed flat for the run to Hamilton Island or delivered with the doors already hung and adjusted.
The short answer
Kitchens for Hamilton Island are drawn in Rockhampton from the measurements you send, approved by you before anything is cut, then packed flat or assembled and freighted north along the Bruce Highway. The quote itemises every cabinet, the benchtop by material and metre, the hardware by brand and the freight separately. We supply only — your trades install it.
What brief does Hamilton Island actually set?
Salt air is relentless on hardware. It gets into unbranded runners and hinges and they stiffen, then sag, and the doors stop lining up. Every cabinet runs Blum soft-close hinges and full-extension runners as standard. Half the kitchens quoted here are holiday lets, and a let kitchen is judged on how it photographs and how it survives a turnover every three days.
What is the run to Hamilton Island?
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 Hamilton Island?
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.
Can I order the kitchen in stages?
Not every Hamilton Island job needs the whole kitchen at once. Builders regularly take the base run first and the overheads and pantry later, and renovators sometimes take the kitchen now and the laundry in six months. The drawing stays on file, so a later order matches the first exactly - same board, same colour batch where we can, same hardware. Say so on the quote request and it is priced in stages.
Can I change the drawing after I approve it?
Before it is cut, yes, and changes at that stage cost nothing but time. Once the panels are cut they are cut to your sizes and cannot be re-used on another job, which is why the approval step exists and why we would rather you took an extra week over it. Read the elevations as carefully as the plan: most late changes are about where a door swings or which side of the sink the dishwasher sits, and both are obvious on the elevation.
Is it worth ordering spare parts with the kitchen?
A spare hinge or two and a length of matching edging, yes, and they cost very little alongside the kitchen. Years later a door that takes a knock is a five minute fix if the part is in a drawer and a much longer one if it has to be matched to a finish that may have moved on. Ask for it to be added as a line on the quote rather than assuming it is included.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Ask any local cabinetmaker what fails first in this climate and you will get the same answer: the edge nearest the sink, then the panel behind it. Moisture-resistant board and a fused edge are the whole defence, and they are standard on every cabinet we cut rather than a line you have to ask for.
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
- Blum soft-close hinges and runners

Frequently asked
Hamilton Island — 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 Hamilton Island?
Yes. Hamilton Island 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 Hamilton Island?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Hamilton Island 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 Hamilton Island?
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 Mackay and the Whitsundays orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Hamilton Island?
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 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.
How long will a Hamilton Island order take?
It depends on the kitchen and the freight route, so it is stated on your quote for your job rather than guessed here. What you can plan around is the sequence: drawing, your sign-off, cutting, then freight.
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.
