Kitchen

So you have decided you might like to renovate your kitchen.  Or perhaps you would like to add an outdoor kitchen.  Whether you live in a worker’s cottage in Victoria Park, or a period-style home in Nedlands, or anywhere in the Perth metropolitan area, we listen very closely to what your needs and lifestyle preferences are.  We understand that every client has a different outlook on what’s important in a kitchen and how it should function. We listen to your individual story and come up with a design and layout that will meet your expectations.

Our Process

Initial Contact
  • After your initial contact to Farrar Constructions, we will arrange a time to meet at your home to discuss your kitchen requirements. This is our first consultation and is free of charge.
  • Prior to our first meeting, it’s best you have thought about what items you want in a kitchen and how you would like it to function. Or if you aren’t sure, we can help you come up with a solution to suit your home.
  • At this point we can give you an idea of approximate cost. This is not a quote, just an estimate of building costs.
Design
  • Once we move to the design phase, I involve my cabinetmaker and the client to discuss the form and functionality of your home’s proposed new kitchen.
  • At this point we can usually create a 3D layout of how your new kitchen might look.
  • Finish selections such as tiles, splashbacks, tapware, fixtures, fittings and surface finishes need to be finalised. This can be a stressful time for some clients but with our helpful advice and extensive knowledge of products available, we can guide you in the right direction.  After a plan is agreed upon, and finish selections are chosen, a fixed price quote is prepared for your approval, including a scope of works and specification.
Approvals
  • After agreeing on a price, the contract is prepared and signed, together with final working drawings and engineer’s drawings if applicable.
  • A deposit is paid after signing the contract documentation.
  • Home indemnity insurance policy can be taken out for client protection if the kitchen renovation exceeds a certain value.

Construction
  • Occasionally a temporary kitchen facility will need to be provided. This can be arranged if necessary.
  • A pre-commencement meeting is held where we go through the construction stages of your kitchen and finalise details.
  • Construction time! By this stage you are well aware of the order in which things will be taking place and we pride ourselves on client communication, so rest assured you will always be informed on what is happening on a regular basis.
  • Having your kitchen renovated can be an intrusive experience. We endeavour to minimise the intrusion by sealing off the work-zone sections of your home so you have safety and security.
  • We only engage trades that are specialists in the area of kitchen renovation and who are highly skilled in their profession. We insist our trades follow a clean and safe site policy, follow OH&S guidelines, and comply with industry regulations.
Completion
  • Upon completion of your project we will have a hand over meeting to check that everything is to your satisfaction. You can then enjoy your new kitchen.
