What a built-in wardrobe costs in Adelaide
Adelaide has the most affordable trade labour on the mainland, and since a built-in wardrobe is made-to-measure cabinetry, that flows straight into the quote, so a standard sliding-door or hinged built-in in a conventional bedroom is usually cheaper here than in the dearer capitals, with a steady supply of cabinetmakers to compare. The dry climate is also kind to a closed wardrobe, with little of the humidity-driven mould concern of the north.
The common stone cottages and double-brick homes mean fixing into solid masonry and scribing the unit to older, not-quite-square walls, which adds a little on a character home, and reactive-clay movement can leave old rooms out of true over time, so the built-in has to fit the house as it has settled. Even so, for a standard wardrobe in a conventional Adelaide home the job stays good value against the dearer capitals.
