Yamba orders,
cut to the millimetre.
No showroom, no design portal and no catalogue of fixed widths. You send the measurements and the photographs, a designer draws your Yamba kitchen, and the quote comes back fixed and itemised with freight on its own line.
The short answer
Kitchens for Yamba are drawn in Rockhampton from the measurements you send, approved by you before anything is cut, then packed flat or assembled and freighted south along the Pacific Highway. The quote itemises every cabinet, the benchtop by material and metre, the hardware by brand and the freight separately. We supply only — your trades install it.
What does Yamba housing do to a kitchen?
Near the water it is never the doors that go first, it is everything that moves. Salt finds the cheapest component in the kitchen and works on it. Specifying the hardware properly at the start is most of what a coastal kitchen needs. Subtropical humidity and a flood history that has made people specific about board grade in a way most regions are not.
How does the kitchen get to Yamba?
Your kitchen is cut in Rockhampton and freighted south along the Pacific 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 Yamba?
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.
How do I measure from Yamba with nobody visiting?
Because we do not visit Yamba, your measurements are the drawing. Wall to wall at three heights and use the smallest number. Ceiling height in every corner, because floors are never level. Every window and door with its distance from the nearest corner. Where the waste, the water and the power are now. Then a photograph of each corner of the room. Our measuring guide lists the lot, and a designer checks your numbers against the photographs before anything is cut.
What actually ships with the order?
A numbered plan and elevations, a service drawing marking every waste, water point and outlet for your Yamba 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 should be ready before the kitchen lands?
The old kitchen out, the floor as level as it is going to get, walls patched and painted where the cabinets will not cover them, and the plumber and electrician booked for the days after the fit rather than the same day. Painting after the cabinetry is in is slower and the cut-in never looks as good. Our installation guide sets out the order of trades.
Where else do you ship in the Northern Rivers?
We ship to Lismore, Ballina, Byron Bay, Tweed Heads, Casino, Grafton, Murwillumbah, Alstonville and the rest of the region on the same route. The the Northern Rivers page covers the region, and New South Wales 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.
- 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 Yamba 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
Yamba — 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 Yamba?
Yes. Yamba is served south along the Pacific 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 Yamba?
No. Our own installation team works Central Queensland only. In Yamba 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 Yamba?
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 Northern Rivers orders go flat.
Who can do the plumbing and electrical in Yamba?
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.
Can I see a sample before ordering in Yamba?
Yes. Door, board and edging samples are posted out, and for most people that settles the colour question better than a screen does. Ask when you send the dimensions through.
Can I add pull-downs and organisers to a Yamba 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 Yamba 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.
