Who needs a joiner!

AI summary
A DIY kitchen renovation offers significant cost savings over professional jobs, which often exceed $20,000. However, the main investment is your own time. While you can handle assembly and finishing, licensed tradies are legally required for most electrical, plumbing, and structural work.
Key NZ providers for DIY flatpack kitchens include:
- Kaboodle Kitchens
- Cabjaks
- Ezy Kitchens
- UDUIT
Careful planning is essential, as the process from design to finishing takes time and coordination.
