Renovation Scope
Every Scale of Transformation.
From a single cabinet refacing to a complete gut kitchen remodel — every project receives the same design rigour, the same 3D approval process, and the same uncompromising standard of execution.

What Drives the Cost
Eight Factors That Determine
Your Kitchen Renovation Budget.
Every kitchen remodel is shaped by eight variables. Understanding them empowers you to spend exactly where it matters most — and protect the rest.
Kitchen Size & Footprint
Larger footprint means more tile, waterproofing, and labour. Small kitchen remodels under 4m² cost significantly less than full ensuite renovations — but demand more spatial intelligence.
Tile & Stone Selection
Entry-level porcelain from R150/m². Imported marble and Calacatta stone R600–R2,500/m². Material choice alone can swing a bath remodel cost by R20,000–R80,000.
Fixture & Tapware Specification
Tapware ranges from R3,500 to R45,000+ per piece. We source across all tiers — Roca, Grohe, Crosswater, Hansgrohe — and advise on where specification pays dividends.
Shower Doors & Glass Enclosures
A basic shower door starts at R4,500. A fully frameless floor-to-ceiling enclosure runs R18,000–R45,000 depending on glass thickness and configuration.
Demolition & Waterproofing
Stripping to substrate and applying a certified waterproof membrane is non-negotiable. Budget R4,500–R12,000. This is never a line to cut — failures here cost five times as much to fix.
Custom Cabinetry & Vanity
Vanity units range from R5,500 (off-the-shelf) to R45,000+ (bespoke joinery). Our in-house joiners design to the millimetre — no filler panels, no visible carcasses, ever.
Plumbing & Electrical Works
Relocating plumbing adds R8,000–R25,000. Adding underfloor heating or lighting circuits adds R6,000–R18,000. Plan these in the design phase — retrofitting costs three times more.
Design & Project Management
Our 3D design and project management is included in all renovation packages. Standalone services start from R8,500 — most clients find it saves twice that in avoided mistakes.

Small Kitchen Remodel & Redesign
Small Space.
Extraordinary Outcome.
A small kitchen redesign is not a lesser project — it is a harder one. Workflow, storage density and sightlines matter more in a compact footprint than in any other room in the home.
Our AI-powered 3D visualisation is especially powerful here – seeing your small kitchen at scale in photorealistic 3D before committing prevents the most common and costly remodelling mistakes.

Common Questions
Kitchen Renovation Costs - Answered Honestly.
FAQ
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Johannesburg?
A full kitchen renovation in Johannesburg starts at around R45,000 for a cosmetic refresh and ranges to R450,000+ for a bespoke luxury transformation. The variables are cabinetry material, worktop specification, kitchen size, and whether appliances or services are relocated. We provide a fully itemised fixed-price quote with no provisional sums.
FAQ
What is the cost to redo a small kitchen?
A small kitchen redesign under 10m² typically costs R28,000–R120,000 depending on scope. A cosmetic refresh sits at the lower end. A full gut renovation with custom cabinetry and stone worktops sits at the upper end. We 3D-design small kitchens with particular spatial precision — the decisions matter more in a compact footprint.
FAQ
How much does kitchen cabinet installation cost near me in Gauteng?
Kitchen cabinet installation costs in Gauteng range from R18,500 for a door-and-hardware reface, to R150,000+ for bespoke custom joinery with an integrated appliance suite. A standard cabinetry supply-and-fit runs R65,000–R140,000 all-inclusive — labour, carcasses, doors, hardware and worktop.
FAQ
Do you include design in your kitchen renovation cost?
Yes. AI-powered 3D design and full project management is included in all renovation packages. You receive photorealistic renders, a curated material board and a design walkthrough — before any work begins and before you commit to a single rand. Standalone visualisation starts from R9,500.
FAQ
How long does a kitchen remodel take?
A cosmetic kitchen remodel takes 5–10 working days. A full renovation typically takes 4–8 weeks depending on scope, cabinetry lead times and whether services are relocated. Our fixed timeline is agreed before build commences — we commit to it and we keep it.
FAQ
Can you supply cabinetry and appliances as well as install them?
Yes — supply and installation is how the majority of our clients work with us. We source from premium suppliers including Blum, Caesarstone, Miele, Smeg, Bosch and Franke across all price tiers. Supplying through us eliminates measuring errors, delivery damage and fitting incompatibilities — and the warranty is total.
