I’m a cabinetmaker from Mackay up here we charge $500 a metre to build and install and i think it’s about $80 a metre to install but also there’s a 7 month wait at all the cabinetmaking places so the prices might be a bit high compare to where u live. if you can find some one to do weekend work you can get it pretty cheap.
