The Project
A Kensington apartment owner took on a full kitchen renovation as an owner-builder. The brief was straightforward: quality materials, a clean finish, and a process that didn’t add stress to an already demanding project.
They came to yip sourcing three things — sintered stone benchtops, cabinetry, and a sink.
The Result
By sourcing direct through yip rather than through local retail and trade channels, the owner builder saved $19,350 against comparable retail pricing across the three product categories.
Beyond the savings, the materials arrived on site coordinated and on time. Trades were able to get straight into the cabinetry installation and finished faster than expected — less time on site, less coordination overhead for the owner builder to manage.
The apartment gained meaningful value as a result of the kitchen upgrade, with the quality of the finishes reflecting well above the cost of the materials.

Sintered stone benchtopsIn Their Words
The whole process with yip was incredibly straightforward. They handled the sourcing, coordination and delivery, which made managing the renovation much easier. We saved around 30% compared to local retail pricing and the quality of the cabinetry, stone and sink exceeded our expectations. Everything arrived on time and ready for installation. I’d happily use yip again on future projects.
