Who needs a joiner!
AI summary
A DIY kitchen renovation can save you thousands in labour costs but requires a significant time investment. While you can handle demolition, cabinetry, and finishing, be aware that plumbing, electrical, and gasfitting legally require licensed professionals.
The process involves design, ordering parts, installation, and finishing. Key NZ providers for pre-made or flatpack cabinets include:
- Kaboodle Kitchens
- Cabjaks
- Ezy Kitchens
- UDUIT
Careful planning and knowing your limits are crucial for a successful project.
