Had a new kitchen installed 3 years ago, fabulous product, great service and craftsmanship. One of the oven side panels started to peel away. Took image to show at the shop in Traralgon. Arranged a date to come and fit a replacement panel there and then. Brendan arrived bang on time to resolve the issue and undertook another minor finishing… Read more

alteration that I requested extra to the norm. I have to commend KUB for providing a great service and product that both my wife Eleanor and myself are extremely proud of. Thank you team KUB.

Kitchensubuild Gold Coast came to do a measurement. Did not get back to us even after we phoned them several times. We obtained a quote from a competitor then called into Kitchensubuild showroom to follow up their quote. " Martin" totally disinterested so we had our kitchen installed by the other well known kitchen installer on the Gold Coast.… Read more

Totally happy with this other competitor who " Martin" had "bad-mouthed" to us when we called in to try and obtain his quote to compare. Not great customer service. Appear not to care. Our kitchen cost $60,000. Its fantastic. Kitchenubuild's loss.

I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Kitchens U Build (KUB) Capalaba and especially Tracie — she was phenomenal from the moment we walked into the Capalaba store. To be completely transparent, I was a very reluctant participant at the start. I wasn’t convinced we even needed a kitchen revamp and I was absolutely adamant that I wanted only… Read more

white cupboards and a white benchtop. That was the first time (and definitely not the last!) I heard Tracie gently ask, “Are you sure?”

What followed was nothing short of mind-blowing.

Tracie introduced ideas we had never even considered — and somehow they turned out to be exactly what we wanted. There were no pushy sales pitches, no pressure, just patience and expertise. She worked with us while we dithered over decisions and she very quickly realised that I’m a visual person. Instead of telling me how something would look, she showed me. She patiently walked me through layouts and finishes, waiting for me to catch up with what she already knew would work beautifully.

Tracie didn’t just help us choose cupboard facings and benchtops — she completely reimagined our space. Working solely from our badly hand-drawn scribbles (and without ever seeing our home in person!), she suggested shifting a wall by 60cm. That one change transformed how we could use the entire wall and dramatically improved the functionality of our kitchen.

She helped us design not only our dream kitchen, but also a butler’s pantry/laundry that is both stunning and incredibly practical. We knew we had absolutely nailed the design when I realised I can literally spin in place to unpack the dishwasher — no more walking all over the kitchen to put things away. It just works.

Once everything was selected, checked and rechecked, installation was booked in. Unfortunately — and through no fault of KUB — the installation coincided with Cyclone Alfred and we lost power for five days. Yet even then, KUB went above and beyond. Bruce turned up with his generator and radio and just kept building cupboards like an absolute professional (and tolerated having a 5 and 1 year old under his feet). That level of commitment and dedication speaks volumes.

We did experience a couple of minor hiccups — the porcelain backsplash didn’t align perfectly, and the stone contractor installed stone instead of porcelain in the pantry. But once again, Tracie handled everything immediately and without hesitation. There was no argument, no defensiveness — just swift action to have everything corrected as soon as possible at no additional cost to us.

When the kitchen and pantry were complete, Tracie personally came out to inspect everything herself to ensure it was perfect — and it absolutely was.

We cannot thank Tracie and the entire KUB team enough. They didn’t just renovate our kitchen — they transformed our home. Their patience, creativity, professionalism, and genuine care made what could have been a stressful process an incredibly positive experience.

If you’re considering a renovation, do yourself a favour and visit KUB Capalaba. You’ll be in the very best hands.

Amazing team and awesome result – We recently had our kitchen renovated by KUB, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, Nikita, Vanessa, Stacey, Gareth, Paul, and Cam provided exceptional customer service and expertise in designing our kitchen. If you’re looking for a kitchen renovator who listens, cares, and delivers beyond expectations, we highly recommend KUB. Our new kitchen has transformed our home, and we are very happy with the result.

Outstanding customer mindset and design assistance ! – Enthusiastically endorse! Our experience with KUB Pakenham was simply exceptional. Working with Hayley was an absolute delight; she skillfully guided us through the process of designing a kitchen that perfectly aligned with our needs and budget. Hayley's expertise and commitment to customer service were evident from start to finish. There was no… Read more

pressure from her end; instead, she genuinely cared about our preferences and requirements. She was incredibly responsive to any concerns or queries we had, ensuring that any issues were promptly addressed, which was incredibly reassuring. Our installer was also fantastic, contributing to the overall positive experience. We couldn't be happier with our new kitchen! Thank you to the entire team at KUB Pakenham!

Flawless and Elegant update <3 – We absolutely LOVE our new kitchen from KUB! From quick visits to grab samples beginning 3 years ago(!) to finally seeing the finished product this May, the team at Kitchens U Build Capalaba have been outstanding. Tracie was ever-patient with my changing ideas over those years, and successfully guided me towards the perfect combination of colours… Read more

to suit our new flooring and quartz benchtop.

We were able to use our own (mates rates) tradies, and KUB's preferred stonemasons worked with our quartz supplier to ensure the installation went smoothly. Tracie even provided guidance on alternative cooktops when our first choice wasn't suitable for the minimalistic drawer design.

In our opinion, their range of samples and colour expertise sets them far above the other kitchen companies.

The end result is simply perfection, and we couldn't have done it without Tracie and Tim!

Easiest kitchen reno ever! – The process in choosing a new kitchen, from start to finish was quick, easy and non stressful. Delivery was earlier than first quoted(bonus) and construction was completed in one day. A great result and i would go to KUB again for any new kitchens in the future. Staff very attentive and helpful. Show details

Kitchens U Build in Carrum Downs - I'm devastated – After 6 months of emails going back and forth we still haven't received our deposit back after we decided not to proceed with the project due to consistent errors with the design, high project price and change in personal situation. Before signing the contract we paid 30% deposit quickly as we were told that prices will increase (VBA is looking… Read more

into this now as only 5% deposit can be charged for projects over 20K) and were told twice by their consultant (in front of receptionist) that if we decide not to proceed before the production start they will return the deposit (she didnt recall saying it once we officially said that we will not proceed with them). They returned partition of the deposit but kept the rest saying that they're charging for design and consultation. It was never communicated to us that there will be any cost associated with quoting/designing/consulting as they're all offered complimentary as part of their service. Without our consent (nor simple explanation beforehand) they decided to keep our money. The contract was not finalised, nor signed by us as we did not agree to the final design, therefore the production or any other work has not happened. I am extremely upset that even though we were told that there will be no issue with returning the deposit, they changed their mind (now that we need the money more than ever). I feel mislead and mistreated. Their quote says that the deposit is nonrefundable but we did not even proceed to the contract, no work was done and we were assured that if we change our mind before production begins there will be no issue with returning the deposit. At NO STAGE anyone told us that there will be fees associated with anything if we pull out before signing the contract. If we knew it beforehand we would not be this silly to lose our money.

Bright and beautiful kitchen – We had a kitchen in good condition, and loved the layout. However, with black granite tops and what I can only describe as nicotine stain coloured cupboards, it sucked the light out of the room, and the life out of us when we used it. Using the existing footprint, Alisha at Bayswater designed a dream kitchen of white shaker style cupboards which… Read more

was paired with Nougat Ceaserstone. She gave some great ideas in terms of features with a hidden cupboard, integrated bins and microwave in a cupboard, which we love using in practice. We were scheduled to have our renovation done early August, but then lockdown hit. Alisha kept in touch each time the rules changed and our instal date changed accordingly. Happily in November the rules were sufficiently lifted for KUB to proceed. Nick, Anthony and Peter did an amazing job. A few unexpected issues came up relating to the floor, but all were dealt with, and great advice provided for areas outside scope of the job. We have no hesitation recommending the team at Bayswater .

My Dream Kitchen – Here is the email I sent to KitchensUBuild Hi Alisha, I just wanted to let you know how extremely happy we are with our new Kitchen. Kitchens U Build were recommended to me by friends in Research, Victoria. These friends are known for their diligence in researching when they purchase products from cars to caravans so I knew if they had chosen… Read more

your company then I wouldn’t need to look any further. I did however do one comparison price check with a well known company, but they didn’t offer the custom build to match Kitchens U Build and as my friends were impressed with your company I didn’t get a third price check.

I found your manner friendly, approachable and nothing was too much trouble when explaining or changing designs or needing clarification on doors etc. As our kitchen was due to be installed during the COVID 19 period, I was unsure whether the kitchen would be put on hold or could be installed. Lucky for us it could be installed on the scheduled date.

Your installers arrived on time and were efficient, hardworking and professional. They finished early in the afternoon on the day, which was an unexpected surprise. There was no damage to our walls/painting/door frames during the installation and their clean-up was great. There were a couple of small issues with hinge placement on our pantry doors and these were going to be replaced with a minimum of fuss.

When the new pantry doors were available, your installer returned to install them and he did an excellent job with care and precision - they look beautiful.

Your other suppliers, which was the Caesar stone supplier and the glass splashback supplier were excellent. Again their products were delivered and installed on the dates forecasted and the bench top looks beautiful. We went with a black glass splashback with the recommendation of the owner and it give the kitchen the WOW factor.

I have sent out photos to family and friends and we’ve received a resounding WOW - so I can’t wait for them to see it in person.

I’ve supplied a few before and after photos for your “photo album”. We are still to lay floor tiles and organise a couple of pendant lights which will happen when retail shops open again.

Once again – thank you for your help with your suggestions and the final design.

clear. The installers were fantastic, extremely fast and efficient and paid attention to detail, making sure the finish was perfect. They also coordinated them with the stone supplier for a seamless stone installation. I would highly recommend KUB Ballarat to anyone looking to upgrade their kitchen or other cabinets. A great business committed to delivering great customer experience from start to end. David E

We were really happy with the service from KUB right from the start. After having quotes from some well known kitchen companies, we realised we needed a company who could customise to our needs. Tracie took the time to understand exactly what we were looking for and had great communication throughout the process. We love the quality, style and… Read more

functionality of our new kitchen, pantry and laundry.

The installation from Bruce and Timo went really well and the stone was installed with great vein matching too.

We would happily recommend KUB!

Don't waste your time or money – The install was scheduled for 16th and 17th October 2019. A majority of the measurements were wrong and after doing the best they could the installers were not happy and couldn't apologise enough about the major stuff up, they left us with an unusable kitchen and a huge amount of shelves, doors, boxes etc. under our see through stair case right… Read more

near the front door. For a month we had no kitchen, no word from KUB and a huge mess in view of everyone. When another installer came ( different from the first 2) he was shocked at how big the job was as he was not told and it took him 2 days to do what he could. January 28th 2020 was when we got our replacement bi fold doors and bin cupboard finished and that installer noticed we had rails missing from our drawer. During this time we had booked electricians and plumbers to come out when we were told the kitchen would be finished, as it wasn't finished due to wrong sizes made we were charged call out fees for them both. Also the 20ml bench I was told to order by KUB is to short for our original splashback as KUB made the cupboards to fit a 40 ml bench which looks ridiculous. Overall, what should have been a very exciting time for us has been a very stressful process.. oh and don't expect the manager to get back to you with any concerns because that definitely won't happen in a hurry.

Disaster - stay away from them - horrible, thieves, liars, cheaters – Don't fall for their polite conversations. Ordered a kitchen , they made me pick it up but they charged me for it. I picked up the flat pack and delivered on site left it with my cabinet installer when I come back I see instead of having 720 overhead cabinets they have given me 620 overhead cabinets, cabinets were already installed. Arguing over… Read more

a week

- they refused to change the cabinets to 720 or reimburse me $. - they charged me for boards on sides of island bench when they knew its going to be waterfall stone - drawers were wrong size - free installation not honored

You are better of going to a cabinet maker it will cost you the same or less, and they will install it for you and you won't have to deal with all the dramas. They do not honor their word. If they can shaft you they will.

Our dream kitchen – Rebecca from KUB helped us design our kitchen and she was very helpful and attentive to our needs.

garage. I installed the kitchen my self and KUB provided an extensive installation manual. KUB organized the stone bench tops from sandman stone who were fantastic. We organized a plumber and electrician who finished the job. All panels fitted perfectly apart from 2 hinge mountings which were in the wrong position but this was a minor problem which took no time to fix. We are really happy with the finished product and can highly recommend KUB geelong.

happiness was her mission and she worked with us around our centrepiece SMEG oven. The end result is our dream kitchen we could not be more thrilled.

When all was installed, Tracie even came and gave us advice on the flooring. Thankyou KUB Capalaba.
