Kitchen Inspirations

What Kitchen Inspirations does

Kitchen Inspirations is a family-owned custom kitchen design, manufacturing, and installation business founded in 2005 by Justin and Becs Berry and headquartered in Pukekohe, Auckland, New Zealand. The company operates a vertically integrated model: a sales-led process begins with in-showroom or site-visit consultations, advances through 3D render concept meetings and revisions backed by a non-refundable design deposit, and concludes with in-house factory manufacturing and professional installation under a 50%/45%/5% milestone payment structure. Its underlying technology stack comprises Cabinet Vision CAD software feeding a Biesse flatbed CNC machine for automated cutting, with a Holzher Lumina Edgebander featuring German LTRONIC laser technology for seamless glue-line-free edges on acrylic and melamine products, supported by a 10-year cabinetry guarantee and lifetime Blum hardware warranty.

The firm's revenue model is project-based custom cabinetry sales with attached professional services (design time billed at NZD 85/hour inc GST for post-sign-off work). Its primary customer segment is residential homeowners undertaking new builds or renovations in the Franklin and wider Auckland area, served through an appointment-based showroom at 78 John St, Pukekohe displaying three kitchens plus laundry, wardrobe, and brewery vignettes; secondary segments include commercial fit-out clients and a recurring showhome showcase partnership with Precision Homes NZ at Paerata Rise. The team of 17 includes seven designers, an operations GM with 17 years of industry tenure, and a detail manager with 14+ years, with marketing driven by a website project gallery, NKBA membership, and word-of-mouth rather than digital advertising or third-party distribution.
