   1. Specify what service Kora Kitchens and its associated contractors are to provide.

   2. Provide Kora Kitchens, its agents, employees and subcontractors with suitable access to the premises (including for any necessary vehicles and equipment) and an electrical supply and other amenities reasonably required to perform such Installation Services;

   3. Ensure the premises comply with all applicable laws, particularly those laws relevant to the health and safety of those persons performing the Installation Services;

   4. Ensure the premises are in a state ready for the Installation Services and are structurally sound.  This includes ensuring the site is clear and free from obstructions, building materials and debris;

   5. Ensure that trades (such as electrician, plumber, gas fitter) have performed necessary work prior to the installation of cabinets.  Failure to have the premises in a state ready for cabinets will result in additional delivery/handling fees and time delays.  Similarly, if Kora Kitchens is only responsible for installing a quartz bench top, ensure that the cabinets have been installed correctly and are level.  Failure to have the cabinets in a state ready for Kora Kitchens to install the quartz bench top will result in additional handling fees and time delays;

   6. Obtain (at your cost) any necessary permits, licences, consents and approvals required for the performance of the Installation Services in accordance with all applicable laws;

   7. Provide safe and secure storage at the premises for materials and equipment used in providing the Installation Services;

   8. Ensure that all other trades persons at the premises (other than Kora Kitchens employees or subcontractors) carry out works in accordance with all applicable laws and industry standards and cooperate reasonably with Kora Kitchens employees and associated contractors;

   9. Accept (or otherwise) the installation of the relevant product prior to any external claddings or linings being installed (if applicable) or prior to any other work being performed that may restrict access to the installed products;

   10. Additional Carpentry work will be charged at $140 per hour plus GST.

   11. Where Kora Kitchens manages the sub trades and engages contractors on your behalf. a margin of 20% will be added to all sub trade invoices.  
       Base prices for dis-connect and reconnect are:
       Plumber $850 + gst
       Electrician $950 + gst
       All additional work and materials incur additional costs.

   12. A contractors margin of 20% will be added to all invoices for material purchased by Kora Kitchens on behalf of the customer. 
        

2. Minor damage may occur to decor, plaster and tiling during the installation services but you agree that we will not be responsible for redecorating or making good any damage unless it is as a result of our negligence rather than an unavoidable consequence of having the Products fitted.
    

3. Kora Kitchens shall at its sole cost rectify any defects in the materials or workmanship which are notified to Kora Kitchens in writing by email to ross@korakitchens.com within 7 days of installation of the Product. Kora Kitchens will not be liable under this clause to remedy defects in or damage caused by work undertaken on the property after installation, or arising out of acts or omissions by the Customer or Customer’s contractors.
    

4. In many instances an installation will not be able to be completed at one time – for example:

   1. Where part of the kitchen needs to be installed before other dimensions can be determined;

   2. Joins require time to cure. 
       

5. Flooring

   1. Our kitchens utilize a standard 150 mm toe-kick. They are designed and recommended to be installed on top of the finished floor.

   2. If you choose to install the kitchen before the flooring, the toe kick may not fit. This may also cause problems with dishwasher and fridge height clearances. You will need to make arrangements for any alterations or modifications with Kora Kitchens prior to installation and negotiate the extra cost of these modifications.
       

6. Appliances

   1. Kora Kitchens is not responsible for the installation of appliances. Its associated and recommended appliance supplier will contact directly with you.

   2. It is the responsibility of the customer to check the fit of all appliances and sinks and tapware before installation of the cabinetry and to make the appropriate adjustments if necessary. We can accept no responsibility for extra costs incurred for any adjustments required.

   3. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that appliance manufacturers’ requirements and/or building codes are complied with. We can accept no liability for damage (direct, indirect, consequential or otherwise) caused by incorrect installation of the appliances.
       

7. PC Sums

   1. A prime cost sum (PC or PC sum) is an allowance, usually calculated by the cost consultant, for the supply of work or materials to be provided by a contractor or supplier where the installation is being managed by Kora Kitchens (that is, a supplier that is selected to carry out an element of the works). This provided to inform you of the likely level of cost anticipated.

   2. The allowance is calculated exclusive of any profit mark up or attendance (such as material handling, scaffolding and rubbish clearance, etc.) payable to Kora Kitchens.

   3. Payments are made based on the quotations/invoices of the supplied items by the contractor plus addition of 20% for overhead costs. If the contractor's actual cost is higher than the bill of quantities allowance, then the contract sum will be increased to balance it up and if the cost to the contractor is lower, then the contract sum will be reduced by the balance.
