Your kitchen is one of the most used spaces in your home, and the cabinets you choose will affect how it looks and functions every single day.
At More Than Wood (MTW), we design and build custom kitchen cabinets across Singapore for HDB flats, condominiums, and landed homes. Every cabinet is measured to fit your space, built with E0-grade plywood, and fitted with quality hardware from Blum and Hafele.
As a direct contractor based in Kaki Bukit (Synergy @ KB), you work with our carpenters from the first consultation through to installation. No middleman, no markup, no surprises.
What We Build for Your Kitchen

We cover the full range of kitchen carpentry that Singapore homeowners need:
-
- Upper and lower kitchen cabinets
- Open shelving and display shelves
- Kitchen islands and breakfast counters
- Pantry storage and larder units
- Overhead cabinets and pull-out drawers
- Custom cabinet doors with laminate, lacquer, or timber veneer finishes
Materials and Hardware We Use
E0-Grade Plywood

All our kitchen cabinets are built with E0 plywood, which carries the lowest formaldehyde classification available. In a kitchen environment where heat and humidity are constant, low-emission materials matter for your family’s health. E0 plywood is also more dimensionally stable, meaning your cabinet carcasses are less likely to warp over time.
Blum and Hafele Hardware
We fit all kitchen cabinets with Blum and Hafele hinges, drawer runners, and lift systems. These are the hardware brands specified by leading interior designers across Singapore because they are tested for high-use environments, come with long warranties, and close softly and precisely for years. Soft-close drawers and hinges are standard across all MTW kitchen builds.
Laminate and Surface Finishes
We work with a wide range of laminate suppliers so you can select the colour, texture, and finish that suits your kitchen design. Matte, gloss, wood grain, concrete effect, solid colours, or anti-fingerprint finishes are all available. We provide physical samples during the design consultation so you can compare options in your actual space.
Our Process

We start with a site visit to take measurements and understand how you use your kitchen. From there, our team produces detailed 3D drawings so you can see exactly how the finished cabinets will look before any fabrication begins. Once you approve the drawings and material selections, we begin building at our Kaki Bukit workshop. Installation is handled by our own carpenters, not subcontractors.
Kitchen Cabinet Carpentry for HDB, Condo, and Landed Homes
HDB kitchens often have constraints around wet and dry zones, overhead beam positions, and service duct locations. Our team is familiar with the common layout challenges across different HDB flat types, from 3-room to executive flats, and designs cabinets that work with your specific floor plan. For condo and landed home kitchens, we handle larger, more customised builds including full-height pantry systems and kitchen islands.

How much does kitchen cabinet carpentry cost in Singapore?
Kitchen cabinet carpentry in Singapore typically ranges from $3,000 to $10,000 and above depending on the size of the kitchen, materials used, and hardware selected. MTW uses direct contractor pricing with no middleman markup. Contact us for a quote based on your specific layout.
How long does it take to build and install kitchen cabinets?
The typical lead time from confirmation of order to installation is 3 to 5 weeks. This includes design finalisation, fabrication at our Kaki Bukit workshop, and scheduled installation. Timeline may vary during peak renovation periods.
What is E0 plywood and why does it matter for kitchen cabinets?
E0 plywood has the lowest formaldehyde emission rating available. Formaldehyde is a chemical commonly used in adhesives in lower-grade plywood, and it can off-gas into the air in enclosed spaces like kitchens. E0 plywood significantly reduces this risk, making it a healthier choice for your home.
Do you do kitchen cabinets for HDB flats?
Yes. We build custom kitchen cabinets for HDB flats across all types, including 3-room, 4-room, 5-room, and executive flats. Our team is experienced with common HDB kitchen constraints such as overhead beam positions, wet and dry zone requirements, and service duct locations.
Can I choose my own laminate colour and finish?
Yes. We work with multiple laminate suppliers and will bring samples to your consultation so you can compare colours and textures in your actual space. Matte, gloss, timber grain, and anti-fingerprint finishes are available.
Do your kitchen cabinets come with a warranty?
Yes. MTW provides a workmanship warranty on all kitchen cabinet installations. Contact us for specific warranty terms applicable to your project.
