Quality joinery made to order Over the past eight years, Ezy Kitchens and Joinery Scene have formed a close working relationship that ensures seamless delivery of new custom-made kitchens in line with clients’ expectations. When clients order a new kitchen through Ezy Kitchens, the design – generated by specialised 3D design software – is sent to Joinery Scene’s modern Christchurch factory for manufacture. “We then process the order to suit their timeframe and pick up days,” explains Joinery Scene’s Richard Hill. “Their design drawings are made using our manufacturing software so when we get the order it has all the machining and product details we need.” By working with other leading suppliers of kitchen materials and hardware such as taps and handles, Joinery Scene can closely regulate costs and monitor new products coming onto the market. “We’re always looking at new trends in kitchen joinery,” says Richard.” I have been to kitchen fairs in Milan and travelled to America last year so I’d be up to date with the latest manufacturing and design changes. We are continually upgrading our software library to reflect what’s available.” Many new products are released directly into Ezy Kitchens’ showrooms so clients can instantly access the latest options. “Everything is made to order. Ezy Kitchens place orders using our production software. “Whatever they draw, we can make. From that, we order the materials we need from our suppliers; everything arrives when we need it to be made and processed through our factory. “Our actual manufacturing time is reduced because of the way we work. We have a constant pick up cycle. Currently, we’re manufacturing six kitchens a day.” Joinery Scene’s processes mean precision made kitchen joinery is made to order and on

It employs a skilled team of trained staff.

Today, the company is a recognised and well-regarded joinery specialist throughout New Zealand. “I had a passion for kitchens and that remains my main focus. A lot of what we make is specified and designed by other people. They come to us as their preferred manufacturer.” Creating shop fit-outs is another area of expertise for Richard and his team. “For example, I have worked with Harvey Norman for the past twelve years doing store fit-outs.”

Meanwhile, Richard confirms that white kitchens remain very much in vogue, along with high gloss doors and solid surface bench tops, such as stone and acrylic. “We have installed new machinery to accommodate the trend towards new high gloss,” he says. “Being able to successfully edge it has really only become possible in the past eighteen months. “A lot of people just don’t have the technology that we have got.”
