Norwest is a newer, fast-growing part of the Hills, built up around the business park and the metro line. The housing here is a real mix of modern apartments and townhouses close to the station and shops, plus newer freestanding homes on the surrounding streets. Most of these kitchens are not old, but the apartment and townhouse fit-outs were done to a developer budget, with flat-pack cabinets, thin benchtops and layouts that waste the bench. The homeowners we deal with in Norwest tend to be after a sharp, modern kitchen that matches a contemporary apartment or new house, with quality stone, proper cabinetry and storage that works in a compact footprint. We are a family-run joinery based in Liverpool, and Norwest is an easy run for us up the M7. Twelve years in, we run one crew across cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, so you deal with us, not five separate trades, and there is no juggling subbies. You get a fixed-price quote with no provisional sums, stone benchtops, soft-close hardware and appliances at trade cost so more of your budget lands on what you see and touch. Most Norwest kitchens are on site for around three weeks. We strip the old one, sort the services, fit the new cabinetry and stone, tile the splashback, paint and hand it back clean and ready to use.
We come to your Norwest home, measure every wall and check the plumbing and power before we quote. You get one fixed price covering cabinetry, stone, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting. No provisional sums and no surprise extras turning up halfway through the build.
We settle the layout, door finishes, benchtop stone, handles and appliances together, then order it all at trade cost. Once you sign off, the design is locked so the team builds to an exact spec and nothing drifts on you partway through the job.
Your cabinets are built while we book the trades in the right order. Because it is one team, the plumber, sparky, tiler and painter are all coordinated by us. You get a clear start date and a realistic finish, usually around three weeks on site.
We strip the old kitchen, run new services, fit cabinetry and stone, tile the splashback, paint and connect appliances. Before we leave we clean up and walk you through everything. You get your warranty paperwork and a kitchen ready to use that night.
Most Norwest kitchens land between $20,000 and $60,000, with the bulk of our jobs in the $25,000 to $45,000 mid-range. What moves the price is the size of the kitchen, the stone you choose, laminate versus two-pac doors, and how much we change the layout. Apartment and townhouse kitchens here are often compact, so the cost can sit toward the lower end where we keep the existing layout, or higher if you want extensive cabinetry and premium stone. We give you one fixed-price quote up front with no provisional sums, so the figure you sign is the figure you pay. Buying appliances at trade cost usually claws back a fair chunk of the budget.
Once your cabinets are made and we start on site, a typical Norwest kitchen takes around three weeks. The first days are demolition and sorting the plumbing and electrical. Then cabinets go in, the stone is templated and fitted, tiling and painting follow, and we finish by connecting appliances and cleaning up. Because most Norwest homes are newer and the services are usually close to where they need to be, the on-site work often runs cleanly. The lead time before we begin depends on cabinet manufacture and your finish choices. With one team across every trade, we are not waiting on outside subbies, so the schedule stays predictable.
Yes, we do a lot of apartment kitchens around Norwest and the metro precinct. Apartment kitchens are usually galley or one-wall layouts, so the job is about getting more usable bench and smart storage out of a tight footprint without moving waterproofed wet areas you are not allowed to touch. Strata buildings have rules on work hours, lift use, protecting common areas and notifying neighbours, so we sort the building manager and any owners corporation requirements before we start. We will tell you straight what can and cannot change in your unit. As a licensed NSW contractor we provide the paperwork strata managers ask for, which keeps the approval moving.
We are a family-run business, not a franchise, so you deal with the same people from quote to handover. We are based in Liverpool, so Norwest is a quick run up the M7 and we are close at hand. Twelve years in, we have done plenty of modern apartment and townhouse kitchens in the north-west. One team covers cabinetry, tiling, plumbing, electrical and painting, so there is no chasing five contractors and no finger-pointing when something needs coordinating. You get a fixed-price quote, trade-cost appliances, a roughly three-week build, and a licensed NSW contractor standing behind every part of the work.
