How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Brisbane?
What a Brisbane kitchen really costs, where the money goes, and which decisions move the number most.
What you should budget
Most Brisbane kitchen renovations run from about $25,000 for a standard renovation to $45,000 and up for a large open-plan kitchen.
Cabinetry and benchtops usually make up the bulk of the cost. Opening the kitchen up to the living area moves the job from a renovation into structural work.

Where the money actually goes
- Cabinetry: carcass quality, door finish and how much of it there is
- Benchtop material, from laminate through to stone
- Appliances, which can quietly double a budget
- Removing walls to open the kitchen to living, which brings in structural work
- Relocating plumbing, gas and electrical points
- Splashbacks, lighting and the finishing detail
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Brisbane?
Most Brisbane kitchen renovations run from about $25,000 for a standard renovation to $45,000 and up for a large open-plan kitchen. A cabinetry-only refresh can be $10,000 to $20,000.
What is the most expensive part of a kitchen?
Usually cabinetry, followed by the benchtop and appliances. Structural changes, such as removing a wall to open up the space, add cost on top.
Can I keep my existing layout to save money?
Yes, and it is the single most effective saving. Keeping the sink and appliances close to existing services avoids re-running plumbing, gas and electrical.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
Commonly three to six weeks on site once cabinetry is ready, longer if walls are coming out or the space is being reconfigured.
Do you handle structural work when opening up a kitchen?
Yes. We are a licensed builder, so removing a load-bearing wall, installing the beam and engaging the engineer and certifier is handled as part of the build.
