Book access around a confirmed scope
If the property is in a managed apartment building, ask the building contact about contractor access, loading, service lifts and permitted work arrangements. Send those details with the job enquiry. A proposed appliance delivery time is not enough to confirm the stone appointment: we also need the model, cutout drawing and installation photos so the work can be assessed before access is booked.
Avoid ordering from the visible cooktop size
The glass or metal rim conceals part of the hole. Provide the existing model number if the opening cannot be measured safely, plus the new installation drawing. Photograph the surrounding stone rails and the cabinet below. If the property is vacant or managed remotely, nominate a person who can provide entry and confirm the agreed scope on the day. Connected appliances need the appropriate licensed trades for disconnection and installation.
Quote and scheduled Queensland visits
Send your Surfers Paradise address, clear photos, the material if known and current and proposed dimensions. Queensland jobs are coordinated through scheduled visits; availability is confirmed for your address and accepted scope. Standard cooktop or sink cutting starts at $690 + GST per cut, and tap-hole drilling starts at $350 + GST for the first hole; each additional hole at the same visit is $100 + GST ($110 including GST). Other modifications are quoted for the actual cutting, finishing and access. Appliance, plumbing, electrical and cabinet work should be identified separately.
Suitability before the visit
We assess the existing installation, including cracks, joins, narrow stone rails and support. Work on legacy engineered stone is considered only within permitted scope and applicable requirements. Do not make a trial cut or remove a connected appliance to provide measurements. Send the product documents and accessible photographs first so the next step can be confirmed.
