What a flat pack kitchen costs in Sydney
A large share of Sydney flat-pack kitchens go into apartments and terraces, and that is where the installer's time goes. Strata buildings restrict delivery and work hours, lifts and loading docks slow the carry of heavy flat boxes, and tight terrace layouts mean the benchtop and cabinets have to be scribed to walls that are rarely square. The flat-pack itself is cheap and consistent; the fitting labour is where Sydney, with the highest trade rates in the country, pulls ahead of everywhere else.
Brick and masonry walls, common across the inner suburbs, mean wall cabinets are fixed with masonry anchors rather than screwed into a timber frame, which is slower and dearer. Plumbing and electrical relocations for a new layout need a licensed trade under NSW rules, and that sign-off is a real line in the quote. For a straightforward galley in a modern home the price is keen, but access and old-wall fixing are what move a Sydney fit above the national figure.
