A kitchen drawn for the Northern Beaches,
not for a catalogue.
No showroom, no design portal and no catalogue of fixed widths. You send the measurements and the photographs, a designer draws your the Northern Beaches kitchen, and the quote comes back fixed and itemised with freight on its own line.
The short answer
Yes — the Northern Beaches is on the network. Your kitchen is drawn from your own measurements, cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Pacific and New England highways, either flat packed or delivered assembled with the doors already hung. Every cabinet is 18mm moisture-resistant board with laser-bonded edging and Blum soft-close hardware. We do not install in the Northern Beaches: your builder, carpenter or installer fits it from the dimensioned drawings that ship with the order, and a licensed plumber and electrician do their parts.
What does the Northern Beaches housing do to a kitchen?
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 soft-close hinges and full-extension runners. Most enquiries here are apartments and semis where a built cabinet will not fit through the door, which is exactly what flat pack solves.
How does the kitchen get to the Northern Beaches?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Pacific and New England 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 the Northern Beaches?
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 goes wrong with cheap cabinetry first?
In a predictable order: the edging lifts near the sink and the dishwasher, then water gets into the exposed core and the panel swells, then the drawer runners start to drag, then the doors stop lining up because the hinges have no adjustment left. None of that is bad luck. It is what 16mm standard-core board with glued edging and unbranded hardware does, and it is the reason we do not sell it.
Can I order the kitchen in stages?
Not every the Northern Beaches 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.
How do I compare this with a the Northern Beaches cabinetmaker?
Take our itemised quote to any the Northern Beaches cabinetmaker and compare it line for line, which is exactly what it is formatted for. Ask them three things: board thickness and moisture rating, edging method, hardware brand. If the answers match ours and the number is better, take theirs - a local supplier with the same specification and no freight line is a genuinely good outcome. If the answers are vague, you have learned something either way.
Where else do you ship in Greater Sydney?
We ship to Penrith, Parramatta, Campbelltown, Blacktown, Liverpool, Hornsby, the Sutherland Shire, Castle Hill and the rest of the region on the same route. The Greater Sydney page covers the region, and New South Wales covers the state.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Cold mornings and hot afternoons in the same day are hard on a cabinet. Materials expand and contract, glued edging works loose at the corners, and doors drift out of alignment. A fused edge and three-way adjustable Blum hinges are the answer to both halves of that.
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.

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 the Northern Beaches 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
the Northern Beaches — 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 the Northern Beaches?
Yes. the Northern Beaches is served south along the Pacific and New England 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 the Northern Beaches?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In the Northern Beaches 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 the Northern Beaches?
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 Greater Sydney orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in the Northern Beaches?
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 the Northern Beaches 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 the Northern Beaches 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 the Northern Beaches 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.
Blum runners fitted before it leaves
