Factors Influencing Kitchen Remodelling Prices

When planning your kitchen renovation, it’s crucial to understand the factors that influence the overall costs. By taking these factors into consideration, you can create a realistic budget and make informed decisions. 

Size of the Kitchen

The size of your kitchen will directly impact the cost of the renovation. A larger kitchen requires more materials and labour, which will increase the total expenses. Generally, kitchen sizes are categorized as:

• Small: Up to 12sqm

• Medium: 12-18sqm

• Large: 18sqm+

Design and Layout

Your kitchen’s design and layout can significantly affect the cost of your renovation. More elaborate designs, such as installing a kitchen island or scullery, require additional materials and labour, increasing the overall expenses.

Quality of Materials and Finishes

The type and quality of materials and finishes you choose for your kitchen cabinets, countertops, and hardware will greatly influence the cost of your renovation. High-quality materials and finishes generally come with higher price tags but provide durability and improved aesthetics.

Labour Costs

Kitchen renovation requires skilled professionals to ensure proper installation and flawless results. Therefore, labour costs also play a significant role in determining the overall cost of your kitchen remodelling project.
