The kitchen, delivered.
Fitted out, not stripped back.
Lismore is one freight run from our door in Rockhampton. What arrives is a kitchen drawn for your room, in 18mm moisture-resistant board with soft-close hardware throughout.
The short answer
We design and cut every kitchen in Rockhampton, Queensland, and freight it to Lismore south along the Pacific Highway — flat packed, or delivered assembled with the doors already hung and adjusted. We do not install in Lismore; 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.
Why does the specification matter in Lismore?
As the service town for the district, the housing here runs from century-old cottages to new estate builds, and almost none of it suits a catalogue cabinet width. Every run we cut is drawn to the wall it is going on. Subtropical humidity and a flood history that has made people specific about board grade in a way most regions are not.
How does it reach Lismore?
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 Lismore?
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.
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 Lismore 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.
Flat pack or assembled — which works out cheaper?
The cabinetry price is identical. What differs is the assembly line on the quote and the freight line, because assembled cabinets take several times the truck space of the same kitchen in cartons. To Lismore that difference is usually decisive, and most orders this far out go flat. But the quote shows both, so it is a number you compare rather than a decision you are talked into.
How do I plan around the plumbing I already have?
Keeping the sink and the waste where they are is the single cheapest decision available in a kitchen renovation, and moving them is the one most likely to find a problem inside a wall. If the layout works with the existing points, keep them. If it does not, get the plumber to look before the drawing is approved rather than after the cabinets land in Lismore.
Where else do you ship in the Northern Rivers?
We ship to Ballina, Byron Bay, Tweed Heads, Casino, Grafton, Yamba, Murwillumbah, Alstonville and the rest of the region on the same route. The the Northern Rivers page covers the region, and New South Wales covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Summers here are humid enough that the cheap end of flat pack fails at the sink and dishwasher first, usually inside five years. Moisture-resistant board and laser-bonded edging are standard on every cabinet we cut.
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 Lismore kitchen, not quoted as extras once the number is agreed. That is the difference, and it is the one most suppliers will not match.

Frequently asked
Lismore — 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 Lismore?
Yes. Lismore 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 Lismore?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Lismore 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 Lismore?
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 Northern Rivers orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Lismore?
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 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.
How long will a Lismore 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.
Can I add pull-downs and organisers to a Lismore 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 Lismore 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.
