How Long Does a Kitchen Renovation Really Take in Melbourne?
One of the first questions we get from clients?
“How long is this going to take?”
If you're planning a kitchen renovation in Melbourne, the answer depends on your scope — but here’s what a realistic timeline actually looks like (not the fairytale version).
⏱️ The Typical Kitchen Reno Timeline
Here’s a breakdown of the main phases:
Design + Planning: 2–4 weeks
Ordering Materials: 2–6 weeks (depending on availability and custom joinery)
Demolition & Prep: 1–2 days
Rough-In (Plumbing/Electrical): 2–3 days
Cabinet Installation: 2–5 days
Benchtop (Stone Cut & Fit): 1–2 weeks
Tiling, Splashback & Painting: 3–5 days
Appliance Fit-Off & Final Touches: 1–2 days
🔨 Total estimated time: 4 to 8 weeks (from start to finish)
🚧 What Causes Delays?
Even with great planning, things can still slow down due to:
Late material deliveries
Council or strata requirements
Unforeseen plumbing or structural surprises
Tradie availability (especially in peak season)
Our Tip?
Don’t rush. A smart renovation takes time — and trying to cut corners will usually cost you more later.
