AI summary
A DIY kitchen renovation can save significantly on labour costs, with projects starting from a few thousand dollars compared to professional jobs often exceeding $20,000. Be realistic about your skills, as tasks like major plumbing, electrical, and gasfitting require a licensed professional.
For cabinetry, consider popular flatpack providers:
- Kaboodle Kitchens
- Cabjaks

To further reduce costs, find second-hand kitchens, appliances, and materials on Trade Me Marketplace.
