FAQs
Our Showroom team have come up with this list of frequently asked questions that might help you with your dream kitchen – and it might allay some renovating fears you might have. If you have additional queries, please get in touch.
We value the health and safety of our customers and staff and have implemented the following changes within our business: hand sanitiser is available on entry to the showroom, and our showroom staff routinely disinfect and wipe down showroom surfaces; our kitchen designers, project managers and installers will maintain social distancing whilst in your home, and will use hand sanitiser before entering your home and whilst working. If you are feeling unwell, or if you have travelled, we ask that you notify us prior to any appointment, and we will happily reschedule if required.
MKN welcomes enquiries from the greater Brisbane area, and areas within the Moreton Bay region.
Our process starts with a showroom consultation where you select finishes for your new kitchen. Following this, an in-home design appointment is booked so our designer can measure your space and discuss your requirements. Upon completing the design and quotation you will be invited to attend a presentation appointment so that our designer can run through your kitchen floorplan, show you 3D renders and discuss pricing. Once you have signed a contract, we will appoint a project manager, and they will complete a check measure and schedule your installation. Once you have signed off on your final technical drawings, we will manufacture your new kitchen, deliver it to site and project manage the installation.
We do not charge a fee for your showroom consultation, design appointment or presentation appointment.
