Palmerston kitchens,
cut to your room.
A kitchen cut to your measurements rather than picked from catalogue widths, packed flat for the run to Palmerston or delivered with the doors already hung and adjusted.
The short answer
We design and cut every kitchen in Rockhampton, Queensland, and freight it to Palmerston 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 Palmerston; 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 Palmerston housing does to a kitchen
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. Build-up humidity is relentless, and it is the single strongest argument on this whole site for moisture-resistant board.
Getting it to Palmerston
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 Palmerston
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.
A kitchenette instead of a kitchen
If the room in Palmerston is a studio, a granny flat, an under-house conversion or a short-stay unit, a kitchenette may be the right answer and it starts at $4,500. Sink, bench, cold storage, and a cooktop where the run allows. Same carcasses and the same Blum hardware as a full kitchen, in a fraction of the length - and it fits through a doorway that a full run would not.
Second-dwelling and rental kitchens
A good share of what we ship to Palmerston goes into secondary dwellings, granny flats and rentals. Those kitchens fail in a predictable order - edging near the sink, then drawer runners, then hinge adjustment - and all three are specification, not bad luck. The board, edging and hardware we ship as standard are chosen so the rental kitchen and the owner kitchen are the same kitchen.
Benchtops, and why they are separate
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 Palmerston, 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.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Humidity is the design constraint here, not heat. Through the wet season a standard-core carcass takes on moisture at the cut edges and swells, and once a panel has swollen the door never sits square again. Everything we ship is 18mm moisture-resistant board with laser-bonded edging — no glue line for water to track along.
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.

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

Frequently asked
Palmerston — 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 Palmerston?
Yes. Palmerston 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 Palmerston?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Palmerston 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 Palmerston?
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 Palmerston?
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 Palmerston 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.
