What a kitchen cabinet costs in Newcastle
Trade rates in Newcastle run below Sydney's while drawing on the same Hunter and Sydney-basin trade pool, so a kitchen is better value here than in the capital for the same cabinet spec, with both the build and the 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 on top.
The stock is a mix of older workers' cottages and post-war brick, where a renovated kitchen often sits in a room that is not square, so cabinets need scribing and packing to fit the older walls cleanly, which adds a little to the install. The humid coastal climate makes moisture-resistant board and quality edging worthwhile in a kitchen near the water, so the spec is worth getting right, but overall a standard kitchen here is good value against the capital.
