At Prescom Constructions, we know the kitchen is more than just a place to cook it’s where the family comes together, conversations start, and memories are made. So when it comes to renovating your kitchen, it’s not just about choosing the right splashback or cabinetry. It’s about creating a space that works for your lifestyle and looks fantastic.
Whether you’re dreaming of a sleek modern kitchen or a warm, family-friendly hub, here are our top tips for nailing your kitchen renovation:
Form should always follow function. Before picking finishes, think about how you use your kitchen. Are you big on entertaining? Do you need more bench space for baking? Maybe the kids are always perched at the island doing homework. Let how you live guide the layout and features.
Prescom Tip: Chat with your builder early about how you move in your space — we’ll help tailor a layout that suits your day-to-day life.
The best kitchens are well-zoned — cooking, prepping, cleaning, and storing each have their own place. Keep the "working triangle" in mind (fridge, stove, sink), but modern kitchens also benefit from thoughtful extras like appliance nooks or hidden butler’s pantries.
Prescom Tip: Don’t underestimate the power of a good flow — it makes cooking easier and entertaining smoother.
Trends come and go, but a timeless design will serve you for years. Opt for quality materials and a neutral palette as your base. You can always add colour and personality through open shelving, tiles, or tapware.
Prescom Tip: Go classic on your big-ticket items and trendy with things you can easily update.
Clutter-free kitchens are all about smart storage. Think deep drawers for pots, vertical pull-outs for spices, and overhead cabinetry that goes all the way to the ceiling. Lazy Susans, corner solutions, and integrated bins also go a long way in keeping things tidy.
Prescom Tip: Custom storage options make a huge difference — we’ll help you design solutions that maximise every inch.
Good lighting transforms a kitchen. Mix task lighting (like under-cabinet lights) with ambient lighting (like pendants over the island) to set the mood and make prep work easy.
Prescom Tip: Consider natural light, too — a well-placed window or skylight can completely lift the space.
Choose materials and appliances that will stand the test of time. Water-resistant flooring, durable stone benchtops, and energy-efficient appliances may cost more upfront but pay off in longevity and savings.
Prescom Tip: We can walk you through where to invest and where to save — no guesswork needed.

Prime Costs (PC) and Provisional Sums (PS) are essential terms in construction quotes. Prime Costs cover allowances for materials like fixtures or appliances that haven't been selected yet, offering flexibility but potentially leading to additional costs if more expensive options are chosen. Provisional Sums are estimates for work not fully defined when quoting, like excavation or retaining walls, and may change due to unforeseen circumstances. Understanding the distinction helps homeowners manage budgets and avoid surprises during the building process.

A pre-handover inspection is crucial when taking possession of a new home to ensure any issues or defects are addressed before the final settlement. Key areas to check include the structural integrity (e.g., walls, floors), fittings and fixtures (e.g., taps, doors, windows), kitchen appliances, bathroom tiles and plumbing, electrical systems, and finishes like paintwork and flooring. By thoroughly inspecting these aspects, homeowners can prevent costly repairs later and ensure a smooth transition into their new home.
