Start with the problem you want to solve
Describe what is changing and why. Include the new appliance or fitting specifications, the existing dimensions and wider room photographs. Knowing the intended outcome helps identify options beyond simply following a line drawn on the stone.
Combine related changes in one scope
If you need an opening enlarged and an overhang reduced, include both in the initial enquiry. They may require different methods or finishing. The quote should list each operation so you can compare the complete cost and coordinate the kitchen downtime.
Respect the limits of the existing stone
An old opening cannot always be moved or reduced neatly. Previous repairs, narrow sections and unknown support can change feasibility. Where modification would leave a poor-looking or vulnerable result, replacement may be the better use of your budget.
Request a written cutting quote
Send your suburb, photographs, existing and required dimensions, and the appliance or fitting model. We confirm suitability, the scope of finishing, access requirements and the agreed price before booking. Work on legacy engineered stone is considered only within permitted scope and applicable controls.

Questions, answered.
Can several benchtop changes be assessed together?
Yes. List each opening, tap hole and edge change in the enquiry. Mark which edges stay visible and include the final appliance details so the full scope can be assessed and quoted together.
What does the quote include?
Your written quote sets out the agreed cutting and finishing. Appliance, gas, electrical, plumbing and cabinet work are separate unless explicitly included.
