What a flat pack kitchen costs in Melbourne
Victorian and Edwardian homes fill the inner and middle suburbs, and fitting a flat-pack kitchen into one means dealing with walls that are out of plumb, timber subfloors that are not level, and plaster that needs care. A flat-pack is designed for square modern openings, so the installer spends the time packing, scribing and levelling to make a mass-produced carcase sit right in a hundred-year-old room. That hidden labour, not the boxes, is the Melbourne cost.
On the upside, Melbourne has the deepest pool of cabinetmakers and kitchen installers of any city, so a well-shopped job is genuinely competitive and the flat-pack components themselves are easy to source. Double-brick and brick-veneer walls mean a mix of masonry and timber fixing depending on the home. For a modern house with square rooms the fit is quick and cheap; the older the home, the more the levelling and scribing lift the bill.
