Why this matters now
Three things that cost you margin
1
Cabinetry dominates the fit-out cost
Local quotes for kitchens and joinery are often the largest single line.
2
Finish and carcass are hard to judge from a render
You need to see and handle the sample before you commit.
3
Delivery and install sequencing slip
A late kitchen holds up the trades behind it.
Construction sourcing is now a global price check. Your local suppliers know it. Material costs are up, margins are tight, and a single supplier can hold your programme. The answer is not the cheapest quote. It is a second, controlled supply line that runs alongside your local one, used selectively in the categories that move your margin.
What managed means
What goes into a managed cabinetry order
You do not import. We run the sourcing for you: shortlist and vet factories, translate and negotiate, approve samples, inspect before shipment, and coordinate freight and customs to your site. You keep control of every decision. We carry the detail.
Material and finish specs
Board, finish and hardware agreed in writing, for example 18 mm board where the project calls for it.
Sampling
A sample is approved before production begins.
Production checks
Production is monitored, then inspected before shipment.
Install-ready packing
Packed and labelled so the install team can work from the delivery.

Questions
What people ask first
Can the cabinetry be made to my drawings?
Yes. Sizing and finish are built to the specification you supply.
How do I know the finish will be right?
You approve a sample before production starts, and the finished goods are inspected before they ship.
Does the product meet Australian standards?
Compliance depends on the category. We ask each factory for the relevant test reports and certification, and your certifier makes the final call. See our compliance page for the detail by category.
How long does it take?
About 6 to 8 weeks from the end of the China trip to delivery on site: production 2 to 4 weeks, sea freight about 3 weeks, customs and delivery about 1 week. Production time depends on the product category.
What does it cost to find out?
The first step is a conversation about your project. We tell you honestly whether direct sourcing makes sense for it, and where.
