How many stories have you heard of kitchen disasters, disputes with builders and kitchen manufacturers, and people not getting what they thought they bought?



This can often lead to having to go through arbitration or lengthy court battles. Sometimes the client wins, sometimes they lose, however no one wins in the end as this all takes time and can lead to a lot of distress, while you may be left sitting with an unfinished kitchen.



Barry Malone has been designing, building, and installing kitchens for over 40 years. With retirement on the horizon, he has decided to share his lifetime of knowledge to help you avoid the pitfalls and heartache that can accompany installing a new kitchen or renovating an existing one.



Kitchen Secrets Revealed will arm you with the right questions to ask so you can have a kitchen of your dreams, not a kitchen of disasters.

In this book, you will learn:

The process

Tradespeople needed

Benchtop types

Insurances and licences





…and much more, including a chapter on Bloopers to help you avoid the pitfalls others have fallen into.

You will learn to avoid common issues by knowing which questions to ask, such as:


Why should you look at appliances first?

Where does it say in my contract what is happening with the range hood?

What happens to my old kitchen… is it worth anything?





Kitchen Secrets Revealed will not only help you design your dream kitchen, it will help you communicate your ideas to your designer or salesperson with confidence, clarity, and a clear understanding of the rights and responsibilities of all parties.
