What it costs landed
On a five-bedroom Brisbane house and granny flat we fitted out, every cabinet in both dwellings, 18 lines, came from one factory.
Elje estimate, October 2026. Not yet from a delivered job; replaced with real landed numbers as jobs land.
Landed means AUD inc GST at your door: factory price, freight, marine insurance, duty, port and DAFF charges, brokerage, inspection and cartage. Freight moves weekly, so every estimate is re-priced on the day.
| Item | Factory gate | Landed estimate |
|---|---|---|
| Whole-house joinery, five bedrooms plus granny flat | $55,476 (real quote) | $72,000 to $83,000 |
| Main kitchen | $9,596 (real quote) | $12,500 to $14,500 |
| Study | $1,752 (real quote) | $2,300 to $2,600 |
How it ships
Small units ship assembled, large ones flat-packed, every carton labelled to the drawing. A whole house of joinery usually fills its own container.

Questions
Do I need my own drawings?
You need approved plans and a clear brief. The factory draws the shop drawings; you sign them. Check them with your builder before you do.
