The DBI Difference
Personal service, trusted brands, and precision-built cabinetry, from concept to completion.
DBI Studio is a New Zealand owned and operated business dedicated to delivering high quality, hassle free cabinetry at an affordable price. As a small, hands on team, we’re with you every step of the way, from design to installation, ensuring you get the exact results you’re after.
Unlike many large cabinetry firms, we don’t outsource your project to multiple contractors once the job begins. It’s DBI from start to finish, guaranteeing consistency, accountability, and personal service throughout the entire process.
We partner with trusted New Zealand brands such as Blum and Sage Doors, using industry leading hardware, precision cut components, and waterproof detailing for cabinetry that looks as good as it performs.
By combining our years of industry experience with an efficient business model, we deliver exceptional value without cutting corners. Instead of maintaining an expensive factory, we work closely with Sage Doors to source premium, pre-finished materials, keeping overheads low and passing the savings directly to our clients.
This approach allows us to offer high end, fully custom kitchens, without the $100,000 plus price tag. At DBI Studio, you’ll get personal service, premium craftsmanship, and smart design that bring your dream kitchen to life, without compromise.
Services
Cabinetry Installation
If all you’re looking for is professional installation for your cabinetry, whether it’s for a kitchen, bedroom, wardrobe, or bathroom vanity, we offer this service. Simply get in touch, let us know your needs, and we’ll provide a quote for the cost.
We can also provide a free comparison quote so you can be confident you’re getting the best value for your money. Cabinetry materials and hardware vary greatly, sometimes an extra $200 upfront can save you $2,000 down the line in durability and performance.
Custom Kitchens
DBI’s custom-built kitchens are the heart of what we do. Working with Sage Doors, we source premium materials, from high-grade plywood and waterproof MDF to cost-effective treated chipboard, to deliver a flawless finish for every budget.
Every kitchen is individually built to fit your space and your needs. No modular limits, no wasted corners, just cabinetry designed exactly how you want it.
Project Management
Many people wonder, Where do I start? Who do I need to arrange? What’s actually involved?
At DBI Studio, we make it simple. We can project-manage your entire kitchen renovation, coordinating everything from plumbing and electrical to building work. You’ll have one point of contact – us, and we’ll handle the rest with our trusted trades and guaranteed workmanship.
Our Process
Consultation
Meet with us to discuss your vision, review a clear cost estimate, and plan the next steps, including any prep work and your ideal installation timeline.
Depending on the scope of your project, we can provide an estimated production timeframe so you know exactly what to expect. On average, it takes around two weeks from initial order to delivery.
We’ll help design your space and find smart, cost-effective solutions to maximize your budget without compromising on quality.
Demo & Prep
Once we finalize the planning phase, we’ll begin crafting your cabinetry and guide you through any necessary preparatory work. This includes advising on utility adjustments or demolition services required before installation.
We’re happy to recommend our trusted tradespeople for these tasks, or you can use your own contractors.
Installation
The transformation begins! Once your space is prepped, we start with a initial delivery of your base cabinets, getting all the framework finished first, allowing for quick benchtop templating.
We then complete the process with a second delivery of doors and finishing panels.
Our staged approach minimizes disruption, ensuring you’re without a kitchen for the shortest time possible. We do this to make your renovation experience seamless and enjoyable.
