Been away a while but had a question re: renovations and though someone on here may be able to help (Alex if this topic isn't allowed here then apologies and feel free to move it).
Pretty simple situation - I want to get a floor-to-ceiling built in robe (rough dimensions 2400mm high x 2400mm wide by 750mm deep), inlcuding a mixture of shelves and hanging space, with mirrored doors on the outside. I asked the agent to get a quote for their usual tradies to put it in and they came back with a quote of $2000, which seemed on the high side to me.
Has anyone had any experience of getting something like this done, and a ballpark figure of what a fair rate would be?
(NB I got the agent to do it as I have been overseas for an extended period but am about to return, when I get back I will ring a few tradies myself, but wanted to see if anyone here had any advice)
Have a chat to a small kitchen workshop. They tend to do a better job than your average carpenter and are used to making things fit well in clearly defined spaces.

We looked at robes in our bedrooms, we decide to turn our smallest bedroom into a walk in robe. That way you do not lose the room in your bedroom. Peter from Perth

or a "cabinet maker"? that is the profession for built in furniture no ?
there should be a few listings in your local rag.. built-in-robes, kitchens etc made to order are there game and should get something for less than $1k for sure.... but it depends on your finished materials, etc .. ... melamine over chipboard will be cheap for sure... but if you are asking for solid wood, vinyl wrap, routered doors, etc it'll cost more...
agents' tradies can often be pricey due to the referral so check out your local first..
Australian Property Forum is an economics and finance forum dedicated to discussion of Australian and global real estate markets and macroeconomics, including house prices, housing affordability, and the likelihood of a property crash. Is there an Australian housing bubble? Will house prices crash, boom or stagnate? Is the Australian property market a pyramid scheme or Ponzi scheme? Can house prices really rise forever? These are the questions we address on Australian Property Forum, the premier real estate site for property bears, bulls, investors, and speculators. Members may also discuss matters related to finance, modern monetary theory (MMT), debt deflation, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin Ethereum and Ripple, property investing, landlords, tenants, debt consolidation, reverse home equity loans, the housing shortage, negative gearing, capital gains tax, land tax and macro prudential regulation.
