01 — OVERVIEW

How kitchen quoting actually works

Camera on. Walk through. Talk through what you want. A licensed Australian tradie signs off in under an hour.

Kitchens are the single most quoted job on Quotefor.au, and for good reason — they're complex, expensive, and historically the worst experience in home renovation. The traditional process involves three tradies through your door, four follow-ups, and a quote a fortnight later that's already out of date. We collapse the lot into a single browser session.

Our vision models have been trained on more than 8,000 Australian kitchens, from 1970s pastel-tile rentals in Marrickville to architect-spec walnut joinery in Toorak. The AI knows what a 600mm Westinghouse oven looks like next to a 900mm Smeg, can read your splashback square-meterage off the wall in seconds, and counts your linear metres of cabinetry while you walk past them describing what you want changed.

Every quote is reviewed and signed off by a licensed Australian tradie before it hits your inbox. We're not in the business of letting a chatbot guess what your renovation costs — we're in the business of letting an AI do the measuring so the tradie can focus on the pricing.

02 — WHAT THE AI SEES

What our vision model scans for

Trained on more than 26,000 Australian residential jobs across every state and climate zone.

Vision

Linear metres of cabinetry

We count uppers, lowers, pantry and island runs as you walk past them — accurate to ±5cm in standard kitchens.

Vision

Appliance brand & size

Our models recognise major Australian appliance brands and read their physical footprint (600mm, 900mm, integrated) directly from the camera.

Vision

Splashback area

We measure tile area in real time using room geometry and known cabinet heights — no laser, no tape measure.

Audio

Plain-English preferences

Talk through what you want changed. 'Keep the dishwasher, dump the oven, stone bench, no handles.' The AI files each instruction against the right line item.

07 — FAQ

Kitchen quotes, answered.

Things homeowners ask before they book. If yours isn't here, the AI will answer during your walkthrough.

How accurate is an AI kitchen quote?

Our quotes land within 6% of final invoice on average across 8,000+ jobs. Every quote is reviewed by a licensed tradie before it's sent — they can override any line item the AI calls. If your kitchen has unusual structural conditions (low ceilings, asbestos, awkward plumbing), the tradie will flag it for a free 10-minute video follow-up.

Do I need a real tradie to come and measure?

No. That's the whole point. The camera walkthrough captures everything we need for >90% of standard Australian kitchens — linear metres, appliance sizes, splashback area, plumbing position. For the remaining 10% (heritage homes, unusual layouts), we'll book a 15-minute Zoom with a tradie at no extra cost.

What does a kitchen renovation cost in Australia in 2026?

For a 4–5 metre kitchen in a typical Australian home, a full rebuild lands somewhere between $14,000 and $28,000 depending on finish level. A cosmetic refresh (doors + bench, keeping cabinets) can come in as low as $3,400. A bespoke architect-spec kitchen with integrated appliances and stone waterfall benches runs $40,000–$80,000+. Get a real number for your kitchen in 47 seconds.

Can I sell my old kitchen?

Almost always. Working ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, dishwashers and tapware all have strong second-hand demand. Even solid-timber cabinet doors and stone offcuts sell. Our AI spots these items during your walkthrough, prices them against current marketplace data, and writes the listing automatically. Average kitchen marketplace return is $540.

Are the tradies licensed?

Yes. Every tradie on Quotefor.au is licensed in their state (NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, TAS, ACT, NT) and insured for both public liability and workmanship. We verify licences quarterly through the state regulators, and you can request to see the licence number on any quote.

How long does a kitchen reno take?

From quote acceptance to handover, a full kitchen rebuild typically takes 3–5 weeks for an off-the-shelf flat-pack build, 6–10 weeks for custom joinery. The quote includes an estimated timeline. We also offer a fixed-date completion guarantee on bookings made 4+ weeks ahead.

What if I just want a quote for comparison?

Go ahead. Plenty of homeowners use Quotefor.au as a sanity-check before signing a paper quote from a local tradie. The walkthrough is free, you don't need an account, and there's no obligation to book the job. We'd rather you came back later than felt pressured now.
