What a built-in wardrobe costs in Newcastle
Trade rates in Newcastle run below Sydney's while drawing on the same Hunter and Sydney-basin trade pool, so a built-in wardrobe is better value here than in the capital for the same spec, with the build and install coming in cheaper. The region has a solid supply of cabinetmakers feeding off the Sydney basin, so there is reasonable choice without the capital's premium labour.
The stock is a mix of older workers' cottages and post-war brick, where bedrooms are often small and not square, so a built-in is a practical way to add storage and is scribed to fit the older walls cleanly, which adds a little to the install. The humid coastal climate makes moisture-resistant board and some ventilation worthwhile near the water, so the spec is worth getting right, but overall a standard wardrobe here is good value against the capital.
