The Perth market
Perth sits about 5 percent above Brisbane on the cost index: kitchens $12,600 to $47,250 installed, bathrooms $10,500 to $36,750. Rider Levett Bucknall puts custom houses at $3,100 to $5,100 per m2, a high floor. A 2023 average put stone benchtops at about $1,600 per m2 in Perth against $2,200 in Sydney and Melbourne. Much local stock is shipped from the east coast first.
Notes for Perth
Hot dry summers and coastal wind. UV-stable finishes outside, and conditioned timber inside.
Most Perth suburbs take a container at the kerb. Hills sites and narrow coastal streets may need a depot unpack.
- Fremantle is the first Australian call on some South China services, and its terminal access charge is the lowest of the five ports, under $100 a container.
- Perth is a long way from the east coast showrooms and warehouses, so local stock often carries a freight cost of its own. Landed direct from Foshan skips that leg.
- Plumbing and building work is licensed through Building and Energy WA. Imported WaterMark and RCM products are installed the same way as local ones.
Questions
Are these Perth prices quotes?
No. They are estimates from published October 2026 freight, port and duty rates and factory prices from 2026 orders. A landed estimate for your own plans takes 3 business days.
What is not included?
Installation, local trades, appliances, and any biosecurity inspection or treatment if the container is selected (about $850 to $1,280 when it happens). Aluminium windows and doors are priced separately because of anti-dumping deposits.
