A kitchen for New Norfolk,
drawn to your walls.
Every New Norfolk order ships with a numbered plan, elevations and a service drawing marking every waste, water point and outlet, so your plumber and electrician are not guessing.
The short answer
Yes, we ship to New Norfolk. The kitchen is drawn to your measurements, cut in Rockhampton and freighted south then by sea across Bass Strait. You choose flat packed or delivered assembled on the same quote, and your own trades fit it — we install in Central Queensland only. Nothing is due to see the drawing or the price, and nothing is cut until you sign the drawing off.
Why does the specification matter in New Norfolk?
A town like this has every decade of Australian housing in it, and each decade has its own kitchen problem. Drawing to the room rather than to a standard width is what lets one supplier handle all of them. Cold, damp winters in a lot of uninsulated older housing, which is where cheap board fails first.
How does it reach New Norfolk?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south then by sea across Bass Strait. 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 New Norfolk?
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 Tasmania that is Consumer, Building and Occupational Services. 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 cabinet sizes should I be asking for?
You should not have to ask: the run is drawn to your wall, so the cabinet widths come out of the measurement rather than being chosen from a list. What is worth deciding is the split between drawers and cupboards, because that is the difference you live with. Our cabinet sizes guide covers the standard dimensions that do matter, such as bench height and overhead clearance.
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 New Norfolk 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.
Why is there no design portal to log into?
Plenty of suppliers hand you a portal and let the software approve your own mistakes. We do not. A designer in Rockhampton draws your New Norfolk 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.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
The cold itself is not the problem. The problem is the damp that comes with it, settling in the parts of a kitchen that never get looked at until a door stops closing. Moisture-resistant board and a fused edge are specified for those places.
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 New Norfolk 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
New Norfolk — 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 New Norfolk?
Yes. New Norfolk is served south then by sea across Bass Strait, 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 New Norfolk?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In New Norfolk 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 New Norfolk?
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 Hobart and the South orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in New Norfolk?
A licensed plumber and a licensed electrician, and you should check both licences yourself before they start. In Tasmania, Consumer, Building and Occupational Services 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.
Is there a deposit to get a New Norfolk 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.
Can I add pull-downs and organisers to a New Norfolk 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 New Norfolk 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.
