Kitchen renovations in Brisbane, fixed price.
Manabuilt is a QBCC-licensed Brisbane kitchen renovation company (Licence 15572459). We deliver fixed-price kitchen renovations with custom cabinetry, stone benchtops, and licensed in-house plumbing and electrical, backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty. Most kitchens are completed in 3 to 5 weeks, quoted online, and we specialise in apartment and strata kitchens across inner Brisbane.
A kitchen renovation is part joinery, part services and part logistics. The cabinetry and stone are what you see, but the result depends on getting the layout, plumbing, electrical and appliance fit right underneath. Manabuilt handles all of it under one fixed price: design and cabinetry, benchtops and splashback, and licensed in-house plumbing and electrical, so you are not chasing five different trades.
We work across Brisbane houses and apartments, and a lot of inner-city units where the kitchen, laundry and living space share walls and risers. Relocating a sink, adding a dishwasher, opening up a galley or fitting an island all come back to where the services run, and we plan that before a single cabinet is ordered.
Like our bathrooms, kitchens are quoted as a fixed price and locked in before work starts. Strata documentation, lift bookings and work-hour windows are handled as part of the job, and the site is left clean every single day.
Kitchen renovation costs in Brisbane
How much does a kitchen renovation cost in Brisbane? Kitchens vary more than bathrooms because cabinetry and appliances drive the price. As a guide, most Brisbane kitchen renovations fall into these bands. Every Manabuilt kitchen is quoted as a fixed price for your exact scope:

What to know about renovating a kitchen in Brisbane
- 01Layout drives the budget
Keeping the sink, stove and fridge roughly where they are keeps plumbing and electrical costs down. Moving services, opening a wall or adding an island adds cost, and we cost both options so you can choose with eyes open.
- 02Stone benchtops need templating
Stone is templated after cabinetry is installed, then fabricated, which adds about a week to the schedule. We sequence around it so the kitchen is only out of action for the minimum time.
- 03Appliances and lead times
Appliance availability is the most common cause of delay on a kitchen. We confirm models and lead times before locking your start date so nothing stalls mid-build.
- 04Strata and apartment kitchens
Apartment kitchens share walls and risers with neighbours. We handle body-corp approval, protect lifts and corridors, and keep to noise windows so the building barely notices.
