Custom Joinery
Is it a certain look you are after? A size? A finish? The functionality? In many cases the selections on the market will suffice for some, however in projects with opportunities or constraints the right vanity or cabinetry just simply must be made to measure. But what is it that prevents renovators from always going custom? Let’s debunk them.
Isn’t it sometimes a hassle to go custom made?
01
In the past, one of the major challenges for home renovators involved sourcing the right joinery maker to align with the designer's plans, coordinating with their chosen builder, and facing potential delays in the lead-up to delivery. This often led to opting for 'catalog' options for bathroom vanities and adapting the space accordingly.
However, the current landscape differs, particularly with Beralin. We maintain close partnerships with multiple joiners and stone masons, providing them with precise design specifications and dimensions to create high-quality joinery. This collaborative approach ensures the achievement of various finishes, meeting diverse preferences with quality outcomes.

The wait is usually much longer for custom made joinery?
Vanities, shaving cabinets, and tallboys that are selected from a catalog often entail an average waiting period of around four weeks. Opting for these pieces allows for designing your bathroom around the specific dimensions and finishes of those items, providing some flexibility to commence works upon their delivery. This approach can be advantageous for those seeking a streamlined renovation, aiming for completion within a shorter timeframe, possibly around three weeks.
It's worth noting that with Beralin, custom-made vanities, from the initial check measure to delivery, have been completed as fast as a within a week, inclusive of stone tops. This expedited process is made possible through our close collaborations with joiners who specialise in faster production for our projects.
Considering the shape, size and finishes of custom joinery required for the project, once designs are finalised, the anticipated arrival of joinery typically falls on average within two weeks of the check measure. Leading to a space that truly feels more aesthetic and well designed.
How much extra does joinery cost to be custom made for the space?

Consider choosing a vanity for your bathroom based on this case below:
Option 1: Selecting a 1200mm double bowl vanity with drawers and a stone top from a catalog typically falls within the retail price range of $1800-$2200. There might be room for negotiation on the price with the supplier should you be shopping around, possibly lowering it to around $1800 with tax and delivery costs included. This option offers a limited selection of finishes and surfaces. The installation occurs during renovations, provided there are no issues with the vanity's condition and function post delivery.
Option 2: Custom made approach involves estimating measurements and design discussions with the client before construction begins. Customising the vanity with tailored dimensions, functionalities, and finishes that align with your preferences. Upon sharing these designs with our joiners, the estimated cost is approximately $2000. While slightly more expensive, this option ensures an undamaged and seamlessly functioning vanity upon delivery, with installation immediately following.
We guide our clients to evaluate these options based on their space layout. Our role is always to offer expert advice aimed at achieving the best blend of value and functionality for the space.
