Custom kitchens
freighted to Humpty Doo.
We do not have a showroom in Humpty Doo 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
We design and cut every kitchen in Rockhampton, Queensland, and freight it to Humpty Doo north-west via the Barkly and Stuart highways — flat packed, or delivered assembled with the doors already hung and adjusted. We do not install in Humpty Doo; your own builder or installer fits it from our drawings. Send the room dimensions and the quote comes back both ways, fixed and itemised, with freight to your postcode on its own line.
What Humpty Doo housing does to a kitchen
Short-stay and weekender properties get judged on a photograph and then punished by turnover. That combination wants a kitchen that looks like a magazine and behaves like a rental. Build-up humidity is relentless, and it is the single strongest argument on this whole site for moisture-resistant board.
Getting it to Humpty Doo
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted north-west via the Barkly and Stuart highways. 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 Humpty Doo
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 the Northern Territory that is NT Building Practitioners Board. 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.
Why there is no design software
Plenty of suppliers hand you a portal and let the software approve your own mistakes. We do not. A designer in Rockhampton draws your Humpty Doo kitchen from your measurements and photographs, and catches the things software does not: the window reveal that stops an overhead, the door swing that fouls the fridge, the floor that falls 30mm across the run. You see the drawing before you pay anything.
Measuring from Humpty Doo without us there
Because we do not visit Humpty Doo, your measurements are the drawing. Wall to wall at three heights and use the smallest number. Ceiling height in every corner, because floors are never level. Every window and door with its distance from the nearest corner. Where the waste, the water and the power are now. Then a photograph of each corner of the room. Our measuring guide lists the lot, and a designer checks your numbers against the photographs before anything is cut.
Ordering in stages
Not every Humpty Doo 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.

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

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
Or call 0401 821 848 — you get the person who designs it.
Frequently asked
Humpty Doo — 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 Humpty Doo?
Yes. Humpty Doo is served north-west via the Barkly and Stuart highways, 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 Humpty Doo?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Humpty Doo 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 Humpty Doo?
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 Darwin and the Top End orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Humpty Doo?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In the Northern Territory, NT Building Practitioners Board 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 Humpty Doo 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.
Handleless rail on an assembled run
Drawer fronts aligned on the bench, not on site
Gloss doors, adjusted to even gaps before delivery
