Flat pack kitchens,
freighted into Ormeau.
A kitchen is not a product you pick off a shelf and hope fits. Send us what the room actually measures and we will draw Ormeau a kitchen to those numbers, then price it with nothing hidden in it.
The short answer
Every cabinet is cut to your wall lengths rather than picked from catalogue widths, then freighted to Ormeau south along the Bruce Highway. 18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and Blum hardware as standard. Installation in Ormeau is by your builder or kitchen installer, working from the dimensioned service drawings that ship with the order.
What should a Ormeau kitchen be built to survive?
Access is usually the deciding factor here — townhouses, units, narrow hallways, stairs. A flat carton goes where an assembled cabinet cannot, and it is often the only way to get a full kitchen into the room without taking a window out. Short-stay and dual-occupancy work dominates, and both are decided on how fast the kitchen can be in and earning.
What does delivery to Ormeau involve?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south 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 Ormeau?
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.
What actually ships with the order?
A numbered plan and elevations, a service drawing marking every waste, water point and outlet for your Ormeau plumber and electrician, the hardware bagged per cabinet, kickboards and end panels cut to length, and fillers where the room needs them. Nothing on that list is an extra. The service drawing in particular is what stops a cabinet being cut on site to clear a pipe nobody planned for.
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.
Why is the benchtop quoted separately?
Laminate ships with the kitchen. Stone does not, and it should not: a stone benchtop is templated off the cabinets after they are installed and level, by a fabricator near you in Ormeau, because a slab cut to a drawing rather than to the room is a slab that does not fit. We quote the cabinetry and the laminate; for stone we tell you the cut-out sizes and the fabricator works from the installed run.
Where else do you ship in the Gold Coast and hinterland?
We ship to Southport, Robina, Coolangatta, Nerang, Burleigh Heads, Tamborine Mountain, Palm Beach, Broadbeach and the rest of the region on the same route. The the Gold Coast and hinterland page covers the region, and Queensland 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.

- Laser-bonded edging, no glue line

Frequently asked
Ormeau — 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 Ormeau?
Yes. Ormeau is served south 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 Ormeau?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Ormeau 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 Ormeau?
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 Gold Coast and hinterland orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Ormeau?
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 Ormeau 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.
