What a kitchen renovation costs in Adelaide
Adelaide's lower labour rates and property values flow straight into kitchen quotes, so the same mid-range scope that is premium in Sydney is comfortably mid-range here. For a standard fit-out in a conventional home that keeps the services roughly where they are, Adelaide is usually the cheapest mainland capital to get the job done.
The city's bluestone and sandstone cottages are the exception: solid masonry walls and the lack of a conventional sub-floor cavity make relocating plumbing, gas and power more involved than in a brick-veneer home, so a character-cottage kitchen that moves services can cost as much to reconfigure as one in a dearer city. For a modern home, though, Adelaide's combination of competitive trades and lower rates makes it one of the best-value capitals for a kitchen.
