What a flat pack kitchen costs in Brisbane
Many Brisbane kitchens sit in a raised timber Queenslander or post-war home, and the timber subfloor often has a gentle slope or movement that a flat-pack's rigid carcases do not forgive. The installer shims and levels the base cabinets before anything else, and fixing to timber-framed and VJ-lined walls is at least straightforward. The boxes are cheap and easy to get; the time goes into making them sit flat and square in a house that has shifted over decades.
Brisbane labour sits around the national baseline, cheaper than Sydney and Melbourne, with a solid supply of handymen and installers, so the fitting component is reasonable. The subtropical humidity makes it worth sealing exposed edges and particleboard properly, since moisture swells a poorly finished flat-pack carcase over time. For a standard Brisbane kitchen the price is moderate, and the main variable is how level and sound the existing floor and walls are.
