Builders & Developers by Grainline Kitchens & Cabinetry

Scope

What this job includes.

✓Multi-unit kitchen and joinery packages
✓Shop drawings from your architecturals
✓Per-unit itemised pricing and staged claims
✓Site measure and install on your program
✓QBCC-licensed with paperwork to match

Our system: Trade work runs through its own workshop lane, so a display-home deadline never collides with our residential pipeline.

How we quote it

A fixed, itemised proposal from a measured design.

Named hardware, named slabs, signed drawings. The price cannot drift because the spec cannot drift.

The 7-line quote

1 The measured design. Laser-measured, drawn to the millimetre, and signed off by you before anything is cut.
2 Cabinetry, itemised. Carcass material, door fronts, hardware brand and finish, every unit on its own line.
3 Benchtops & surfaces. Stone or timber, slab grade, edge profile and cutouts, priced exactly, not "from".
4 Install & trades coordination. Our installers, plus the licensed plumber and electrician scheduled around your build.
5 Appliance integration. Panels, cutouts and clearances for your chosen appliances, checked against the drawings.
6 Approvals & site allowances. Where walls or services move: approvals, waste and protection, accounted for, not discovered.
7 Warranty, in writing. 10-year cabinetry warranty plus registered Blum and benchtop manufacturer warranties at handover.

If a quote doesn’t show these lines, you can’t compare it, and you don’t know what’s been cut.

How it runs

What happens, step by step.

Consult & measure

Showroom or in-home. We measure properly, talk budget honestly, and listen to how you actually cook.

Design & quote

A millimetre-accurate design with a fixed, itemised proposal. You sign off the drawings, not a sketch.

Built in our workshop

Your cabinetry is made in-house on the Sunshine Coast, checked against the drawings before it leaves.

Install & handover

Installed by the makers, trades coordinated, site left clean. Walkthrough against the drawings at handover.

Insured, covered, guaranteed

The paperwork behind the price.

Public liability to $20M, and a 10-year cabinetry warranty, all in writing, all on request.

Kitchen work over $3,300 in Queensland legally requires a QBCC licence on the contract, ours is on every proposal. We carry public liability to $20M, the cabinetry is warranted in writing for ten years, and the hardware and benchtop warranties are registered for you at handover.

Questions, answered

Builders & Developers: common questions.

Can you hold a multi-stage program?

Yes. We schedule workshop lanes against your program at contract, with stage buffers agreed up front. If your program moves, we re-sequence with you, not around you.

How is trade work priced?

Per unit, itemised, with staged claims that match the build. The spec is locked to the shop drawings both sides sign, so variations are real variations, not drift.

Do you supply shop drawings, or do you work from ours?

Both. We convert your architecturals to shop drawings in-house, or work from shop drawings you supply. Either way, the drawings both parties sign are the locked specification, so a site variation cannot be blamed on a sketch.

What is your minimum trade order size?

There is no formal minimum. In practice, a single kitchen for a builder client is most efficient when there is a reasonable pipeline behind it. Come and talk at any volume and we will tell you honestly if the fit is right.

How do you handle variations on a fixed-specification build?

Every variation is a written scope with a price before any work changes. No verbal approvals, no sorting it at the end. The variation is signed and goes on the next progress claim, so your cost report never has a surprise line.

Start with a measured design consult, not a guess.

Tell us about your kitchen. We book a showroom or in-home consult, measure properly, and design to your budget before anything is built.
