A kitchen drawn for Tennant Creek,
not for a catalogue.
Every cabinet cut to your wall lengths and ceiling height, pre-drilled, labelled and freighted to Tennant Creek with the hardware bagged against the cabinet it belongs to.
The short answer
Every cabinet is cut to your wall lengths rather than picked from catalogue widths, then freighted to Tennant Creek north-west via the Barkly and Stuart highways. 18mm moisture-resistant board, laser-bonded edging and Blum hardware as standard. Installation in Tennant Creek is by your builder or kitchen installer, working from the dimensioned service drawings that ship with the order.
What a kitchen is up against in Tennant Creek
Turnover is the enemy. Every tenancy is a fresh set of hands on the same drawers, and cheap runners announce it within a year. What we ship is specified to be boring and repairable, which in a rental is the highest compliment. Extreme dry heat and dust, and a long way from any cabinetmaker, which is the case for a complete labelled delivery.
How it reaches Tennant Creek
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 Tennant Creek
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.
Flat pack or assembled, decided on numbers
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 Tennant Creek 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.
What the quote actually itemises
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 Tennant Creek 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.
What happens if something arrives damaged
Check the delivery against the numbered drawing on the day it lands in Tennant Creek, before the truck leaves if you can. Count the cartons, look at the door and drawer fronts. If a panel is damaged or a carton is missing, photograph it and ring the studio the same day. A replacement is cut from the drawing we hold on file, so it matches the rest of the kitchen rather than being re-measured from scratch.

The specification
Built for this
climate, not a catalogue.
Everything out here is harder on hardware than it is on doors. Fine dust gets into an unsealed runner and turns a soft-close drawer into a grinding one inside a year. Blum is specified for the dust as much as for the warranty.
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
- Blum soft-close hinges and runners
- Cut to your drawing, not catalogue widths
- Pre-drilled and labelled per cabinet
- Fixed itemised quote, freight its own line

Frequently asked
Tennant Creek — 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 Tennant Creek?
Yes. Tennant Creek 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 Tennant Creek?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Tennant Creek 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 Tennant Creek?
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 Central Australia orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Tennant Creek?
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.
Is there a deposit to get a Tennant Creek 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.
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.
