3. Joinery
Joinery is no longer confined to just kitchen cabinets. Homeowners increasingly want integrated joinery for storage and display solutions in all manner of spaces including bathrooms, laundries, bedrooms and living spaces. Joinery should be easy enough to identify on a floor plan, however, given there are so many options to choose from in terms of colours, materials, fittings, design detail and hardware, it is very difficult for builders to arrive at an accurate allowance for the item. In reality, unless there are detailed joinery drawings available for cabinet makers to quote from, the builders can only guess what the cost might be; and leaving builders to guess is never a good strategy. Either enlist the help of an interior designer to develop detailed joinery drawings for quoting, or nominate an allowance (known as a Provisional Sum) in your Inclusions Schedule.
