A Plus for A Plan!
Our designer Karen was great to work with. Professional and easygoing, she really understands kitchen design. She helped us totally replan our kitchen, suggesting designs that we would never have come up with on our own. Belinda was also terrific, coordinating all the trades and communicating with us well. Trades were professional, clean and respectful. All in all working with the A Plan team was a very positive experience. Our kitchen is utterly transformed. No longer a dark, dysfunctional space but a practical, calm, light-filled wonderful room I want to spend lots of time in. When thinking about what to cook for dinner now I think, “what’s going to take me ages to prepare?” because I just love being in the space, it’s my happy place.love my new kitchen
Never had a kitchen designer before but cannot imagine anyone better than Laura. She listened to our needs and offered thoughtful options with her excellent communication skills and warmth. The installer was meticulous and able to work around some building issues without fuss. The result is all we hoped for. Cannot recommend Laura highly enough. I would give her 6 stars if I could.Unreliable, overcharge and leave a mess for you to clean
Invoices are inaccurate, they overcharge despite work not being done, leave a mess at completion of work.......if it ever gets completed.....and don't turn up even when you take time off work to accommodate their dates and time. despite being out of pocket and work not complete...I don't want them back. never would have used them if I'd known. Stay away and don't even think of going there!Run the other way!
We had far too many issues with this company to list here. It has been a lengthy and painful exercise with too many avoidable delays. Even just one apologetic phone call would have been a bonus.A Plan requires full payment before installation. Had we known what a disaster it would be we would have flatly refused. Our kitchen was finally completed two weeks ago a full TWELVE months after we had paid in full.
Take our advice and walk away from A Plan. We wish we had!
A good experience
Very good to deal with. Karen produced an excellent design in an awkward space. the work is very good quality and we are delighted with the new kitchen.I love my beautiful kitchen
Karen the designer for A Plan that I worked with was fantastic. I think I took around 6 months to decide on the final design, colours and materials etc. She was always so pleasant and helpful as was everyone else that I came into contact with. Belinda who organised dates and trades was super efficient and lovely. I now have the best kitchen ever! A very happy customer.. SuzanneReally Great Service
From the day I walked into the showroom, Mike and the team were awesome in wanting to understand my needs and work with me. They weren't pushy at all, just great.August 7th 2018 Update: No Hassle Kitchens
I was super impressed with the professionalism and planning of APlan Kitchens. I don't have much time for this working full time so the team at APlan really helped me and my wife.
Good design, management and problem solving
Lucrezia was a pleasure to work with designing my small kitchen and figuring out the best way to fit things in. Belinda was very helpful in coordinating trades while I was away and was responsive to my concerns. Estaban has been calm and a great problem solver dealing with my concerns after installation. Just remember to check estimated installation time - as I did not and that was a bit of a shock!True custom design cabinets for kitchen and bathroom
A-plan has renovated fully my kitchen 9 years ago and it is still standing strong and looking fantastic. It is basic model kitchen with the laminate bench top. A-plan did the entire project from removal of the old kitchen to full installation of everything incl. tiling, plumbing and electrical. Since then we have had 2 kids and have used the kitchen generously and despite all that the kitchen is looking great.That is why we have recently returned to A-plan to help us with our bathroom cabinets. This time we have chosen polyurethane cabinet... Read more
s with Silestone. The space and the shape of the cabinets was very tricky with the pipes running behind the cabinets. A-plan designer was able to design truly custom made cabinets that use all the space to maximise storage. They managed to fit the cabinets to the millimetre and give me more storage then the old cabinets had. One must see the space to fully understand how tight the error margin was. Their stone mason managed to fit the undermount sink with the tap in the space where only millimetres were left to spare. I must say it is a miracle. Designer Lucrezia spent hours with me designing these cabinets to make them functional and ergonomic as well as to minimise the water damage from future use. She knew exactly what will work and what will not with little kids. She knows her colours, shapes and patters. She was always honest with me about ideas I found on Pintrest and saved me a lot of time by telling me straight away what would look good and what would not. Like with any renovations there were moments when I was worried for example the plumber won’t be able to fit the pipe and there was no space for shower screen. A-plan was very professional and supportive. They worked well with my plumber. They double checked everything and have done check measure on site so it all went well. I definitely would use them again and have been recommending them to my neighbours of which one had used them before for her house and would use them again.Fast and fantastic kitchen renovation
We recently renovated our 25 year old kitchen. The actual renovation took 15 days and there were no hitches. Aplan - Belinda- managed the renovation schedule well and communicated promptly and gave sound advice. The designer- Karen Crossley- was very helpful,with suggestions and I felt I was on the same wave length as her in discussing what I wanted.APlan dealt with superhuman challenges miraculously
A Plan, and in particular Karen crossly, designed and renovated a kitchen which works perfectly and looks beautiful, on time and within budget. Karen gave better advice and service than could be expected of anyone, for example, she recommended trades and organised them for other renovation work at no extra cost.Outstanding Design Price and Service
We received outstanding service. A plan designed and installed an enormous immaculately built wall to wall set of cupboards and storage for our Home. They were professional and skilled and very well priced. We would definitely use them again and I would highly recommend their work.Best kitchen stone makeover & fabulous service workmanship and result!
Updated my kitchen with beautiful new smartstone - stunning results.Love my new Kleenmaid cooktop too!
Highly recommend APlan Kitchens all round 5 star service
Don't even think about using this company
A Plan Kitchens made our kitchen 10 years ago. Unfortunately the Hettich Hinges on our pantry have snapped. Asked them to order some new hinges in for us which we were happy to pay for. Wanted to organise a courier to pick them up as both my husband and I work full time and cannot get to their showroom during the week. Their response was "Sorry, we don't allow courier's in our show room. You will have to pick them up yourself".As for their kitchens, if you could be bothered with the hassle of using this company, add a couple of months to... Read more
whatever date they say your kitchen will be ready. Their factory is "always" behind. Also don't get [name removed] who I think is the son of the owners to install your kitchen. He never installed our bulkheads, the kickboards where not installed properly and we ended up getting them replaced. My eyes almost fell out of my head when he decided to use my new $2,000.00 Miele dishwasher as his work bench, and got offended when I asked him not to put it under the kitchen bench covered in saw dust. He then dropped our slide out rangehood on our stovetop which resulted in a dent in the stovetop and our slide our rangehood to be bent. He denied doing this even though I was standing there when he did it and saw it with my own eyes. He then called me a liar in front of my husband who told him to back his things and get out of our house. Absolutely awful customer experience then and 10 years on. We are building another home at the moment and wouldn't go anywhere near these guys again for a new kitchen. Once bitten, twice shy.Run - Dont walk - away from A PLAN. Be afraid - very afraid
If you want things delivered and installed on time (took 3 months instead of 3 days) , the correct size cupboards as per the plans, the installer damaged doors resprayed to match the rest of the kitchen, all of the power points cut in the correct locations in the stone splash back, the screw holes covered in the cupboards, the oven and dishwasher properly installed, the recutting of the joinery not to be undertaken on your kitchen floor in a freshly painted room, the same carpenter to do the entire job (rather than 4 with absolutely no quality ... Read morecontrol) and the project properly managed then GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! DO NOT GO TO A- PLAN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. The sales staff are slick enough which gives the average punter false hope and that is what gets you in but once you sign on the dotted line and you have to deal with the factory, the installers, the sub contractors, the stone people etc. and the right hand has no idea what the left hand is doing and you are left with an ordinary kitchen and lots of frustration. They quoted $45k and I got them down to $35K and this was before the job and the chaos started. Just shows you the money gouging in this business. Be afraid - very afraid.Questions & Answers
