Paul and his team recently installed a high-end kitchen and bathroom vanity in our newly-renovate house and a number of custom made wardrobes and shelving. Paul brought great ideas to the table and designed an outstanding kitchen which is the centrepiece of the house. The quality of the installation is precise and exacting and we are extremely pleased with CTI.

Our dream was to create a continuous kitchen-dining-living space where our friends and family felt connected to Sydney harbour and each other. CTI Kitchens helped us achieve our dream. Before renovation, our kitchen was a 1960’s concrete box – an island for traditional women segregated by food preparations. Since renovating, we now can entertain over 30 people in our small unit, where guests can enjoy a cocktail overlooking the water’s edge, because we brought the outside in, and integrated and connected our entertaining spaces with the harbour balcony. Before CTI kitchens, we had tried multiple other companies, who had told us what we wanted wasn’t possible because our plans didn’t fit with conventional pre-fabricated cabinet dimensions. Paul really listened to our needs and vision. He delivered exactly what we wanted plus enhanced our design by choosing to understand our taste and interests. We love the canter levered cabinets and down lighting, that make the room look bigger and add sophistication. We love the fully integrated fridge concealed behind dark cabinets that make the big appliances appear smaller and recede away. We love the walk-in pantry, that hides a multitude of sins. We love the down draft stove exhaust fan, that eliminated over bench head-high cabinet weaponries and greasy unenviable exhaust grills. We can’t recommend CTI Kitchens highly enough.

I recently had a new kitchen designed and installed by CTI Designer Joinery and my family and I cannot be more thrilled with the final result. My new kitchen was part of a major home renovation where it would be an integral part to the overall renovation and would literally be the heart of the home so I really wanted to ensure that the final result was perfect and indeed it was! I was fortunate enough to be recommended Paul at CTI from a work colleague and from the get go I was impressed by his professionalism, knowledge on kitchen joinery and collaborative approach. He nailed the brief that I gave him with my mood board and ideas of wants and wishes. The innovative tools he was able to use such as 3D imagery bought my ideas to life and made the planning process so much easier. Paul was receptive to my ideas whilst at the same time offered useful ideas, alternatives and advice on kitchen functionality that was invaluable. My kitchen is beautiful, but most importantly functional, with a place for everything and everything in its place. Paul is meticulous with each mm of measurement. The plans that he provided were detailed which also impressed my builder. Nothing was left unthought of, from the detailed electrical plan to timing of the install, CTI Designer Joinery made my kitchen renovation a seamless process. Paul was so patient with my numerous changes and questions and helped me work towards my budget. I have absolutely no reservations in recommending CTI Designer Joinery to anyone looking for quality and beautiful joinery. Thank you to Paul and the team at CTI Designer Joinery for making my dream family kitchen come alive. I still owe you a home cooked meal!

Paul and his team are very professional and lovely to work with. They designed our wonderful new kitchen, made suggestions and worked with our wishes and stuck to the schedule. Paul even went out of his way to help with purchase of the appliances. Taking away the old kitchen and setting up the new kitchen was very fast and clean, no problems anywhere. I would highly recommend CTI Kitchens.

Paul did a great job with renovating our compact kitchen and gave good advice which resulted in costs savings where possible. Love the look and the stonework. As with all renovation projects, there are always hiccups but these were all rectified so no dramas. We would definitely use CTI Kitchens again. Thank you.

We are delighted with our new CTI kitchen. Paul gave great advice so that the functionality of the kitchen makes it a pleasure to use. Each of the trades people were pleasant and helpful and arrived at the time specified by Paul. Each phase of the kitchen was completed by the date proposed in the initial planning stage. All up, we love both the look and function of our kitchen. Thank you.

We had the pleasure of working with Paul and his team at CTI from design through implementation of our kitchen & joinery throughout our new home. We are so pleased with the quality end result and the professionalism throughout the process. I would highly recommend CTI and would work with them again in the future.

This is the second kitchen I have installed with CTI Kitchens. Both kitchens have been of a very high standard and beautiful design. CTI’s cabinet makers were a pleasure to have in my home, they were very thorough and respectful which is important during the installation process. I would definitely recommend CTI Kitchens to anyone building or renovating.

My experience with Paul from CTI Kitchens was brilliant. Although I had an idea on what I wanted it was through Paul and his teams experience that it truly became an amazing kitchen. They were able to find cost effective but great quality alternatives when I had to put a limit on my budget. Everything was always on time and the communication was great. I always get compliments on my kitchen!

We love our new kitchen and can not recommend CTI Kitchens highly enough. We are so glad we chose you to design our ne space. From initial discussions to installation was absolute professionalism from start to finish. To design a beautiful and practical kitchen was difficult as we had many large appliances to somehow fit in a small space. We had an image of what we wanted and Paul expanded on our initial idea with functional design and style. He had solutions to all our concerns and always gave us alternatives. His ideas were genius and have made our kitchen what it is today. Our Dream is a reality. Thank you.

Thanks for our fantastic kitchen, we are delighted with the result. The space, layout and flow work really well. We only achieved this after you challenged our thinking at our first design meeting, which I remember was very lively. As well as deciding on a local design and build company, your design ideas was one of the main reasons we selected CTI Kitchens. Being able to meet with you regularly and your quick responses by phone and email made the job of renovating a little bit easier.

We renovated our kitchen because we needed more functional space and a more contemporary look. CTI immediately understood our needs and provided a design that utilized every inch of the existing small space, and as a result the kitchen looks and feels twice as big as it was. We can’t fault CTI’s attention to detail, ability to advise and support throughout the process and overall professionalism. Every aspect of the project ran smoothly including expert, no fuss installation. We are very happy!

I couldn’t be happier with my new kitchen. CTI Kitchens made the whole process very easy from beginning to end and the attention to detail with the kitchen was perfect. The whole project ran smoothly, with all tradesman supplied being on time and very clean and tidy. Everyone that visits are saying how much they love the new kitchen. Thank you again for all your hard work to achieving a great result.

If only I had been given CTI’s details earlier! It is fantastic to find someone who takes great pride in their work, delivers brilliant results on time (or early) and even cleans up. I really appreciated your interest in my renovations and how you would give good advice not only on what you were contracted for but on other aspects so that when it was all complete it would look good as a whole not just parts of it. It is rare to find someone so committed to such holistic customer service / satisfaction. I would recommend you in an instant. Not just a job well done – a house TRANSFORMED!
