Everything you need to know about starting, designing and delivering a joinery project with Melbo Joinery.
GETTING STARTED
Plans, measurements, photos of the existing space, project location and a description of the joinery you require are a great starting point. You can also include inspiration images, preferred materials or other relevant project information.
Yes. Where sufficient plans, measurements, photos and project information are available, we can review the project and provide an initial estimate before arranging a detailed site measure.
Final pricing is confirmed once the project scope, dimensions, design, materials and relevant details have been resolved.
Yes. Our design service can include site measurement, design consultation, space planning, joinery layouts, material consideration, 3D visualisation and technical development.
DESIGN & QUOTING
No. The initial estimate provides an early indication of project cost based on the information available at that stage. Final pricing is confirmed once the design, dimensions, materials, hardware and project scope have been resolved.
Yes. Depending on the project and design service required, drawings and photorealistic 3D visualisations can be developed to help you clearly understand the proposed layout, proportions, materials and finished appearance before production.
Yes. We can review architectural, interior design or builder documentation and develop the joinery requirements from the information provided. Additional site verification or joinery-specific documentation may still be required before production.
Yes. Melbo Joinery offers professional joinery design as a dedicated service for homeowners, builders and cabinet makers. This can include measurement, space planning, 3D visualisation, technical detailing and production-ready documentation depending on the project requirements.
Yes. Material, finish and hardware selections can be considered as part of the design process to suit the appearance, function, durability and requirements of the project.
MATERIALS & JOINERY
We work with a broad range of cabinetry materials, finishes and surfaces from established suppliers, selected according to the design, application, budget and performance requirements of each project.
Laminex · Polytec · Formica · and other suitable suppliers
Hardware is selected according to the requirements of each project, with an emphasis on reliable function, durability and appropriate application. Depending on the project, this may include products from established hardware manufacturers such as Blum and Häfele.
Yes. Our joinery is made to measure rather than restricted to standard cabinet sizes, allowing cabinetry to be developed around the dimensions, architecture and requirements of each space.
In many cases we can work toward matching or complementing existing cabinetry and finishes. Exact matching depends on the age, condition and continued availability of the original material or finish.
Our work includes kitchens, laundries, wardrobes and walk-in robes, vanities, TV units, study and home-office joinery, entry cabinetry, storage solutions, custom residential joinery and commercial joinery.
PRODUCTION & INSTALLATION
Project timeframes vary depending on the size and complexity of the project, design requirements, material availability and the current production schedule. An expected timeframe can be discussed once the project scope has been established.
Yes. Melbo Joinery can provide a complete service from design and technical development through manufacturing, delivery and installation.
Removal of existing cabinetry can be discussed as part of the project scope. Requirements vary between projects, so any demolition or removal work should be confirmed before the project proceeds.
Melbo Joinery provides joinery services across Melbourne and surrounding areas.
Not necessarily. Site access requirements can be arranged before installation. What is required will depend on the project, property and installation schedule.
PAYMENTS & PROJECT DETAILS
Deposit and payment requirements depend on the scope and stage of the project. The applicable payment structure will be clearly communicated before the project proceeds.
Payment stages and due dates will be outlined as part of the project documentation before work proceeds. The payment structure may vary depending on the size and scope of the project.
Changes may be possible after design approval; however, depending on the stage of the project, they may affect pricing, materials, documentation, production and the project timeframe. Any requested changes should be discussed as early as possible.
If site conditions or dimensions differ from the information originally provided and affect the design, manufacture or installation, the issue will be reviewed and any required changes discussed before the affected work proceeds.
Warranty conditions can vary depending on the type of work, materials, hardware and supplier warranties applicable to the project. Relevant warranty information will be provided as part of the project documentation where applicable.
