In short
Unitex Building & Construction Group renovates kitchens across Melbourne. We help you plan the layout, storage and appliances, remove the old kitchen, arrange plumbing and electrical work by licensed trades, then install cabinetry, benchtops, splashbacks and appliances, and finish with painting and a final clean. One team coordinates the whole job.

Before you choose
Decide these early
A few decisions shape everything else in a kitchen, so it pays to make them before cabinetry is ordered.
- Layout: galley, L-shape, U-shape or island
- Appliances and their exact sizes, before cabinets are made
- Gas or induction cooking (induction may need an electrical upgrade)
- Benchtop material and splashback
- Storage: drawers, pantry and corner solutions
- Lighting and where you need power points
How it works
Step by step, no surprises
Cost factors
What affects the cost?
We don’t publish one-size-fits-all prices, because two jobs that sound the same can be very different. These are the things that move a quote up or down.
-
Changing the layout
Moving the sink, cooktop or oven means moving plumbing, gas or power.
Big influence on cost -
Cabinetry and hardware
Board finishes, drawer systems and the amount of cabinetry make a big difference.
Big influence on cost -
Benchtops
Laminate, engineered stone alternatives, natural stone and timber all differ in price and lead time.
Big influence on cost -
Appliances
Integrated and larger appliances may need custom cabinetry or extra power.
Some influence on cost -
Removing walls
Opening up to a living area may need an engineer and a building permit.
Some influence on cost -
What we find
Old wiring or damaged floors uncovered during strip-out need fixing. Homes built before 1990 may contain asbestos, which must be identified before strip-out.
Some influence on cost
Every job is quoted in writing, so you know the scope and price before work starts.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can’t see your question? Get in touch and we’ll answer it directly.
Can you remove a wall to open up my kitchen?
Often, yes. If the wall is load-bearing it needs an engineer’s design and usually a building permit. We check this before you commit to the layout.
When should I choose my appliances?
Before the cabinetry is finalised. Cabinets are made around exact appliance sizes, so changing an appliance late can mean changing the cabinets.
Can I switch from gas to induction?
Usually, yes. An electrician checks whether your switchboard and supply can handle an induction cooktop, and the gas line is disconnected and capped by a licensed gasfitter.
How long does a kitchen renovation take?
It depends mostly on cabinetry and benchtop lead times. We give you a timeline with your quote and plan the work so you’re without a kitchen for as short a time as possible.
General information for Victorian homeowners, checked October 2026. Rules change, so confirm with your building surveyor, council or the Building and Plumbing Commission.
