Every granite slab is unique, so choose your actual slab at the yard rather than from a sample, colour and veining vary piece to piece.
Ways to save
- Standard granite colours cost far less than exotic imported ones.

What a granite benchtop costs in Brisbane
A granite benchtop in Brisbane is costed first by the particular slab picked, as granite is quarried natural stone whose price varies widely with its colour, its rarity and its grade, so a common granite is far cheaper than a rare or boldly veined imported slab. The area, the edge, the cutouts and the fabrication come after, but the slab selection is the biggest lever on a granite quote, since each slab is a unique piece of stone rather than a repeatable product.
Granite is chosen in Brisbane for the individuality of natural stone, suiting a renovated Queenslander or a modern home, with buyers often hand-picking the slab at the yard. Because it is porous, granite is sealed on installation and resealed periodically to resist stains, which is its upkeep in the subtropical climate where a well-sealed top shrugs off humidity. It takes a hot pan well. A stonemason templates, cuts and installs it under the dust controls for cutting stone. Service labour near the national baseline keeps the fabrication a touch below the southern capitals, and a licensed plumber connects the sink and tap after the top is set.
Fabricating and installing a granite benchtop is specialist stonemasonry rather than a licensed building trade, done under the stone dust-control laws, though the sink and tap connections need a licensed plumber, with building work generally licensed in Queensland under the state regulator. For a Brisbane kitchen, the clearest way to price a granite benchtop is by the individual slab's colour and rarity, then the area, the edge and cutouts, and the fabrication, with periodic resealing the upkeep.
