Are you replacing like with like in regard to the footprint? Or do you need to pull out the existing kitchen to move walls for the new kitchen? Cabinet makers in my area are quoting a minimum six month wait just for the cabinetry. And stone benchtops are on a different timetable. It sounds Iike you’re a fairly new renovator. Do yourself a favour and go and pay the few hundred dollars to do access the information/course from Katrina Chambers. I have I no connection apart from having followed her since she was on The Block but she is very down to earth but her information will pay for itself.

We pulled out our old kitchen in one day, had organised plumber to shut off water pipes and electrician to re chase the electrical for oven etc for the next day. This was all organised two days before the kitchen company was installing kitchen, which took a day. Electrician and plumber came back a few days later and installed plumbing, sink, oven, cook top. Tiler came in the next week and did all back splash tiling. So it was nine days in total. But this was in 1994.....

How big is your kitchen? Are services staying in the same place? Is the kitchen company doing the whole job? Or are you doing it yourself? My girlfriend just did a full gut of kitchen and reinstalled new kitchen in exactly same layout, it took one month to be completely finished. The kitchen company did everything. But due to current shortages of product they had unavoidable delays.

Roughly six weeks from the time you sign off. It can be earlier, but generally people add on or change there minds about something. Everytime you change your mind delays are bound to happen.

Depends on the style, size and materials of the kitchen along with what additional work is required, Plumbing, electrical, splashbacks, wall re-configuring, window replacement and floor treatments. Asking how long a kitchen renovation takes is like asking "how long is a piece of string".

Hope this helps, Malcolm.
