Who needs a joiner!

AI summary
A DIY kitchen renovation can save thousands compared to professional jobs, which often exceed $20,000. While you save on labour, be prepared to invest significant time and honestly assess your skills.
You can handle demolition, cabinet assembly, and tiling, but restricted work like major plumbing, electrical, and gasfitting requires licensed professionals. Key NZ providers for modular kitchens include:
- Kaboodle Kitchens
- Cabjaks
- Ezy Kitchens
- Peter Hay Kitchens
- UDUIT
Careful planning and ordering materials early are essential for a successful project.
