Kitchen Cabinet Makers Brisbane Southside

Custom kitchen cabinets and bespoke joinery for Brisbane’s Southside and bayside, built and installed by our own carpentry team since 1985.
Before the build

What our Brisbane Southside cabinet makers build

We build custom kitchen cabinetry, plus bespoke cabinetry for other rooms, all made to order for the space it goes into.

Our own carpentry team measures, builds and installs, so you deal with one team from start to finish. Nothing is flat-pack.

What we build

Custom cabinetry for the kitchen and beyond

Custom kitchen cabinetry, plus bespoke joinery for the rest of the home, all made to order for the space it goes into.

Custom Kitchen Cabinets

We craft base and overhead cabinets, walk-in and pull-out pantries, island benches and drawer banks to fit the exact dimensions of your space.

Unlike standard cabinetry that only comes in fixed sizes, everything is built to your room, so there are no filler panels or awkward gaps. If you are planning a full renovation, we can design, build and install the entire kitchen.

Bespoke Cabinetry Beyond the Kitchen

We do not just build kitchens. The same team builds custom cabinetry throughout the rest of the home, so the finishes and style stay consistent from room to room.

Laundry cabinetry is one of our most common requests, and we have a dedicated laundry renovations service for it. If you have another cabinetry project in mind, ask us.

Cabinet Styles, Materials & Finishes

You choose every detail, from the door style and material to the finish and hardware. Door styles run from sleek modern to classic, farmhouse and everything in between.

Storage is where custom cabinetry makes the biggest difference. Soft-close drawers, pull-out shelves and custom organisers go where they earn their place, built around what you actually store.
Carpentry-led

What a carpentry-led team means for your cabinetry

We combine cabinet making with carpentry experience, which gives us more control over the finished result. Cabinet makers focus on crafting the units; carpenters make sure everything fits the room it goes into.

When design, manufacturing and installation sit with separate businesses, that is often where problems appear. Here the same team that designs your cabinetry is responsible for making it fit, so it aligns on site and the result is smoother and more reliable.

Action Kitchens is highly recommended. Nick, Dan and Jess were easy to work with; they listened to my needs; they came up with clever design ideas; they solved installation problems; they paid attention to detail; they managed all the contractors carefully; and they were always available to monitor and respond to questions or issues if required. I had to trust Action Kitchens and I'm glad I did - I am very happy with my new kitchen.

Our new kitchen was completed a few months ago by Action Kitchen and we are amazed by the quality and attention to detail. Our first meeting with Nick was so reassuring we felt comfortable and confident we were making the right decision. The day to day schedule provided of what trades were coming on what days was such a great help, if there was any change to this we were informed immediately. All trades on our job were so friendly and respectful, it was a pleasure having them in our home. The construction of the cabinetry by the team in the workshop is perfect, installation is faultless as is the work by all the trades who were used on our kitchen. Dan is a 5 star project manager, he oversaw our job every step of the way, promptly answering any questions from us and giving us complete peace of mind.
A big thank you Nick and the entire Action Kitchen team, the functionality and quality of our new kitchen has exceeded all our expectations and we definitely recommend you to anyone thinking of a new kitchen.

We cannot rate Action Kitchens highly enough. Every step of the process was easy and enjoyable. From our initial meeting with Nick, who went out of his way to meet at a time that suited us, to the last day when Patrick came to do the final touches it was a seamless process with an extremely professional crew. From Jessica and Nick's design to Dan's AMAZING project management, we could not have been happier. A big shout out to the guys (and Olivia) who did the bulk of the onsite work, as well as the electrician (Ben) and plumber (Sam). Our kitchen looks incredible, and we are extremely happy with it.
A big thank you to Action Kitchens - an amazing local business. Do not hesitate to use them for your new kitchen - you will be very happy.

We had a fantastic experience with Action Kitchens. They took care of absolutely everything — from the initial demolition, design, and colour selections, to creating a kitchen layout that perfectly suited our needs, including the addition of a butler’s pantry.

What really stood out was how seamlessly they managed the entire process, including organising and coordinating all the contractors. The scheduling was handled so well — it gave us real peace of mind knowing exactly who was coming and when.

The entire project was stress-free, and the end result is a beautiful, functional kitchen that we absolutely love. We can’t recommend Action Kitchens highly enough. Thank you, Dan and Nick!

After our long-time cabinetmaker shut his business for a life change, we found Action Kitchens through an online search—only to discover after contacting them that our now-off-the-tools cabinetmaker actually did his apprenticeship there! That was a great sign, and meeting Nick (possibly Australia’s busiest business owner) sealed the deal. The initial consult went great, and we signed on.

From start to finish, the entire team was excellent. Even those behind the scenes in the workshop deserve credit—their craftsmanship showed the moment everything arrived on site. The installation team was top-notch, and a big shoutout to Dan, whose urgency, experience, and attention to detail took the project well beyond expectations. (No, really.)

Sure, there were hiccups—as you get with any reno involving multiple trades—but everything was handled professionally, with constant communication. We never once felt it was out of control.

We supplied our own appliances, sink, etc., and Action worked with that seamlessly. It honestly felt like they’d chosen the items themselves, the fit and finish was that good.

The kitchen was completed in Spring 2024, and now—mid-2025—it still looks and functions like new. Every drawer, door, and surface is still perfect, and we get compliments not just from guests, but every time we walk into the room. Watching them crane in a giant slab of granite? Yeah that was unreal.

There are cabinetmakers out there more interested in shiny new utes and flashy showrooms—but if you want your project done properly, with quality materials, great communication, and true workmanship, hire Action. We only wish we had more work for them, if that happens we'll be coming straight back.

I recently used Action Kitchens for our much needed renovation, and I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. From start to finish, the entire process was hassle-free and professionally managed by Nick and his team.

Any issues that arose were addressed promptly, and the team handled them with expertise and efficiency. The tradespeople were not only skilled but also respectful, maintaining a clean work environment and ensuring minimal disruption to our daily lives.

The quality of the work and process exceeded our expectations, and the project was completed on time. I highly recommend Action Kitchens to anyone looking for a reliable and professional renovation service.

Even the kids are loving and using the space. Thank you.
