What are the benefits of Kaboodle Kitchens?

For more than seven years Adelaide’s No.1 Lady Tradie has been installing Kaboodle Kitchens, for some very happy clients.

“You can just buy off the shelf today, it’s a really, really good quality product to suit the person’s budget so you can upgrade your runners, and your hinges and that kind of thing,” Daisy Smark, co-owner of No.1 Lady Tradie, says.

“Depending on the colour that you purchase you can literally walk into the store and have it that day.”

Builder Daisy and her No.1 Lady Tradie co-owner and cabinet maker Ally Modra, plus experienced carpenter Tim Allen shares the reason why Kaboodle Kitchen is a product tradies are turning to to satisfy their customer’s project needs and builds.

Is a Kaboodle Kitchen reliable?

• Quality: “We’ve been installing Kaboodle Kitchens for over seven years now, and we can’t fault them - they’re great quality,” Daisy says.
• Ease of installation: “The kitchens are a dream to install,” Ally says. “You have everything you need, and it’s just a matter of working with the plans and getting the kitchen in.”
• Added value – buy straight off the shelf: “You could walk into the store today, and provided they had the colour you were after you’d be able to walk out with it and start your install,” Daisy says.
• Client tick of approval: “Our clients are always happy with the end result, and so are we,” Ally says. “The materials are good, long-lasting materials.”

Tip: Always wear the appropriate safety equipment (safety glasses, gloves and a mask, for example) when required on the job. Always follow the instructions for the product or equipment.

Why do you personally recommend Kaboodle Kitchen to your clients?

Tim: For any clients wanting a say in the look and finishes, Kaboodle makes it easy to personalise every detail. Their trade-grade cabinetry comes together with ease and can be simply levelled using adjustable feet – perfect for uneven floors often found in older homes.

What if we’re working on a new build from the ground-up?

Tim: If you’re starting a new build, you can submit floor plans and elevations to the Kaboodle Trade division, and they’ll create a full set of drawings for free. Plus, you have the option to use one of Kaboodle’s dedicated experts, who can assist with site measurements, installation questions and general project support.

How quickly can I have the materials I need to install the kitchen for my client?

Daisy: A lot of our work we can just buy off the shelf if we walked in today, depending on the colour you purchase. It makes it very easy to get jobs done quickly and efficiently for the client.

How does Kaboodle’s modular sizing and range help with out‑of‑square walls or tight laundries and kitchens?

Tim: Combining the modular and customisable cabinetry gives tradies flexibility to achieve a tailored joinery finish in almost any space.

What tools help you to scope jobs quickly and avoid rework?

Tim: One of my go-to tips for my new clients, especially those on a tight budget, is Kaboodle’s price estimator tool. It lets them try out different styles and layouts to see what they can achieve within their budget.

What tips would you give to ensure smooth results from measure to handover?

Tim: Keep it simple. Remember to square up your walls where you can; it’ll make the whole install run smoother. If that’s not an option, filler panels are your best mate. And don’t overlook the free online tools Kaboodle offers. They’ve helped me win plenty of jobs.
