Everything that goes into a kitchen, from the layout down to the drawer runners. Read it before you speak to anyone, including us.
Start here. Everything else follows from where the runs go.
The layout decides how a kitchen works long before anything is chosen. Leave 900mm of clear floor between opposing runs, and keep sink, hob and fridge within a comfortable triangle.
The largest surface in the room, and the largest line in the quote.
Style, finish and colour are three separate decisions. A Shaker door in gloss navy and a Shaker door in matte white are the same cabinet with entirely different results.
Where the money shows, and where it gets spent.
Countertops are priced per square metre plus cut-outs for sink and hob. Ask what the edge detail costs before you choose — a mitred 60mm edge can add a third to the price of the slab.
Small area, disproportionate effect.
The splashback is the cheapest place to add character, because you need so little of it. Labour, not material, is what separates these.
The part you touch fifty times a day.
Sink choice constrains the worktop: undermount needs a solid surface, and a farmhouse sink needs its own modified cabinet. Decide before the joinery is ordered.
It runs under everything, so it goes in early.
In a Dubai apartment, check what the building permits — some towers require acoustic underlay for hard flooring, and a few prohibit it entirely above ground floor.
The layer most people underestimate.
One ceiling light makes a kitchen where you chop in your own shadow. Layering fixes it: general light overhead, task light on the worktop, and something decorative or ambient to make the room liveable in the evening.
Specify these before the cabinets are built.
Built-in appliances need exact cabinet openings, so the appliance list has to be final before joinery is cut. Extraction also needs a duct route — decide early or you end up with a recirculating filter you did not want.
The details you notice daily.
These are the items people wish they had specified. They cost far less at build stage than retrofitted afterwards.
A typical apartment kitchen takes 7–14 working days depending on scope. Larger villa kitchens with structural changes can take 3–4 weeks. You get a clear timeline before work starts.
