Where’s the job?

Scope of Works

• unpack and check all panels, fittings and instructions against the supplier parts list

• lay out components on protected floor coverings and wear basic PPE (gloves, eye protection) as needed

• assemble unit following manufacturer instructions including cam locks, dowels, rails and drawer runners

• fit handles, hinges and adjust doors and drawers for correct operation

• fix to wall where required using appropriate fixings after locating studs or using wall anchors (confirm permission first)

• clear packaging and small waste and leave the assembled item in its agreed final position

Typical Cost

Time on Site

Most single items take 1–2 hours on site; larger wardrobes, beds or multiple items can take 3–6 hours. Factors that extend time include missing or damaged parts, tight stair or lift access, wall fixing and needing a second person for heavy items.

Questions to Ask Your Tradie

• have you assembled this brand or type before and can you show examples of similar jobs

• do you include fixings and small parts or will i need to supply replacements

• do you charge extra for wall fixing and do you check for studs and concealed services first

• will a second person be needed for large or heavy items and is that included in the price

• what guarantee or aftercare do you offer if doors or fittings need adjustment later

How to Avoid Surprises

• measure doorways, lifts and stair widths and tell the fitter about any tight access

• clear the room and remove fragile items to create a safe workspace

• reserve parking or a loading bay and check building delivery rules if you live in a flat

• keep original boxes and hardware until the job is complete and check parts on arrival

• tell the fitter about pets, fragile floors and any lease or party‑wall restrictions
