Frequently Asked Questions 

Here, we answer the burning questions you might have about our custom carpentry and design services — because let’s face it, you don’t want to be messing around not knowing how much it costs or what you are actually getting.

 

Read on, get informed, and if you still haven’t got a clue, give us a shout. We are here to make your life easier, not harder.

SERVICES & OFFERINGS

What kind of work do you do?
We specialise in custom carpentry and bespoke furniture, from built-in cabinetry and wardrobes to feature walls, entertainment units, and premium joinery. We also offer full design services to help you visualise your space before anything is built.

 

Do you offer design-only services?
Yes. We offer standalone design packages for clients who want 3D concepts and technical drawings to pass on to their own builder or cabinetmaker. If you choose to proceed with a build through us, your design fee is credited toward the final quote.

 

What’s included in the design service?

  • Consultation (virtual or in-person)

  • SketchUp 3D drawings

  • 1–2 rounds of revisions

  • Optional finish/material suggestions

PRICING & QUOTES

How much does a typical project cost?
Every project is unique. Our design packages are $250, and full design + build projects usually range from $2,500 to $15,000+, depending on scope, materials, and complexity. We provide transparent quotes after the design phase.

 

Do you offer fixed pricing?
Yes — we provide a fixed quote once you have approved the design and materials. This ensures pricing is based on the exact scope of work, with no surprises.

 

Is the design fee refundable if I go ahead with the build?
Yes — if you move forward with us for the build, the design fee is fully credited toward your final invoice.

WORKING TOGETHER

Where are you based, and which areas do you service?
We are based in Perth, Western Australia and service surrounding areas. For design-only services, we work remotely across Australia.

 

How do I start a project with you?
Easy! Head to our Contact Page, fill out the quick form, or book a free 15-minute call. We will discuss your ideas, timeline, and whether we are the right fit.

​

Do you work with interior designers or builders?
Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with designers, architects, and other trades to bring their visions to life. If you are a professional looking for reliable execution of your design, we are happy to chat.

DESIGN & BUILD PROCESS

How long does the process take?

  • Design phase: ~1–2 weeks (depending on revisions)

  • Production/build phase: 2–6 weeks, depending on design, materials and complexity

We will give you a detailed schedule after the design is approved.

 

Can I see my design before I commit?
Yes — that is the whole point of our design process. You will get a clear visual preview of your custom piece or space so you can make confident decisions.

 

Can you match an inspiration photo or Pinterest board?
We love seeing your inspiration — especially mood boards, saved images, or Pinterest finds. They help us understand your style, preferences, and vision. We will work closely with you to translate those ideas into something custom, functional, and buildable for your space using detailed drawings and material suggestions.

DELIVERY & INSTALLATION

Do you handle installation?
Yes. For full design + build projects, we manage everything from fabrication to on-site installation. If you are only purchasing a design, we will provide clear specs for any builder or cabinetmaker to follow.

​

Do you offer finishes and painting?
We partner with professional finishers and painters. If your project includes painted or stained elements, we will include that in your quote and manage it on your behalf.
