Typically you can allow anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks of actual labour. Factors that can impact this timeframe include:
- any structural works
- moving plumbing/electrical elements
- having large amounts of tiles to lay
- any repairs that needed to walls/floors etc. once the old kitchen/bathroom has been removed
- manufacture and installation of stone benches
- manufacture and installation of glass splashbacks
In terms of the planning and design, with no major structural changes, allow around 6 to 8 weeks for this phase. This includes:
- time to develop the design
- select materials and fittings
- lead times for the manufacture of custom cabinetry (3-4 weeks)
It’s important to keep in mind that no matter the size of your project, you need to factor in time for research, planning, quoting, hiring, red tape and acquiring materials.
