Electrical changes need electrical permits ($200-$500), plumbing work requires plumbing permits ($300-$800), and structural changes need building permits ($500-$2000). Gold Coast condo buildings also require HOA approval and insurance certificates.

Should I choose IKEA or custom cabinets for my Gold Coast kitchen?

IKEA kitchens cost $15,000-$25,000 and work well for Gold Coast condos and rentals. Custom cabinets ($30,000-$50,000) are better for historic Gold Coast homes with unique dimensions. Semi-custom cabinets ($20,000-$35,000) offer the best balance for most Gold Coast homeowners.

When is the best time to remodel a kitchen in Gold Coast?

September-November is the best time for Gold Coast kitchen remodeling. Contractors have more availability after summer, permits process faster, and you'll finish before holidays. January-March offers winter discounts. Avoid December due to condo building restrictions and June-August when contractors are busiest.

Can I live in my Gold Coast home during kitchen remodeling?

Yes, 90% of Gold Coast clients stay home during kitchen renovation. We set up temporary kitchens with mini-fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. Work happens 9am-5pm weekdays only. Consider staying elsewhere during demolition (days 1-2) and countertop installation (1 day).
