Alfresco cabinetry: plan outdoor storage for its actual setting
Tell the cabinet maker how the area is sheltered and which appliances or services are proposed. Ask for materials and construction suitable for that setting and use. Appliance requirements and related gas, electrical or plumbing work need to be coordinated with the appropriate people. A finish preference alone is not a specification.
What to include in your alfresco cabinetry quote
Make the scope specific before comparing prices. Use these details to describe your Geelong project and ask the contractor to confirm each part of the work in writing.
Setting and exposure
Show the roof, open sides and adjoining surfaces. Describe the conditions at the actual location.
Appliances and storage
Provide equipment models and storage requirements. Identify items that generate heat or need service access.
Trade coordination
Ask who handles related services, benchtops and installation requirements beyond cabinetry.

Alfresco cabinetry inspection checklist
Photograph the entire outdoor area and gather appliance information. State whether the project is new or replaces an existing unit. Ask the maker to confirm their suitability for outdoor cabinetry before proceeding.
Agree the project before booking
Use the inspection to resolve unknowns in the brief. Ask for the agreed scope, availability and price in writing before accepting the proposed work.
