Constantia is full of older, spacious homes on generous plots, many of them double-storey with kitchens and built-in cupboards that were fitted decades ago. CDC Projects works across the southern suburbs fitting and replacing cupboards, flooring, doors and fittings, and Constantia is one of the areas where we are often asked to update built-ins that have simply reached the end of their life rather than fix something broken. Whether you are in a freestanding family home or a smaller cottage on a larger property, we come out, measure properly, and quote before any board gets cut.
Our services in Constantia
Kitchen cupboards in Constantia
Big old kitchens with high ceilings need cupboards that use the space properly, not off-the-shelf units that leave gaps. We design and fit kitchen cupboards to match your layout, including corner units and taller cabinets for the double-volume kitchens common in older Constantia homes.
- Corner units that make use of awkward angles
- Soft-close hinges and drawer runners
- Melamine, Supawood or laminate finishes
Bedroom cupboards
Built-in bedroom cupboards are usually the first thing homeowners in this area replace, especially in main bedrooms where the old melamine has yellowed or the doors do not close properly anymore. We fit bedroom cupboards from wall to wall or as standalone units, depending on the room.
Free-standing cupboards
Not every room needs a built-in. For a study, guest room or scullery, a free-standing cupboard gives you storage without the cost of a full built-in installation, and it moves with you if you ever redecorate.
Laminate flooring
Older Constantia homes often still have original wood or parquet flooring underneath carpet or worn finishes. Laminate flooring is a practical way to refresh a room without ripping up what is underneath, and it holds up well in high-traffic areas like passages and living rooms.
Doors and lock fitting
Old timber doors swell and stick after a Cape winter, and locks on older homes often need replacing rather than repairing. Our door installation and lock fitting service covers internal doors, security gates and general realignment.
DIY cupboards
If you have bought flat-pack cupboards and would rather not spend a weekend assembling them, we offer a DIY cupboard assembly service. It is a smaller job, but we treat it with the same care as a full built-in.
Plumbing
Kitchen and laundry cupboard installs often need a plumber on site at the same time, especially when you are moving a sink or washing machine point. Our plumbing service can run alongside your cupboard installation so you are not booking two separate contractors.

Common questions from Constantia homeowners
Do you work in security estates?
Yes. Many Constantia properties are on estates or have their own gate access. Just let us know when you book so we can arrange visitor codes or the right paperwork in advance.
Can you match new cupboards to an older kitchen style?
We can get close with modern boards and finishes, though matching decades-old cabinetry exactly usually is not possible. Most homeowners choose to replace the whole run rather than patch in a single new cupboard.
Do you work in double-storey homes?
Yes, we regularly fit cupboards upstairs and down. It does not change the process, just the logistics of getting boards up the stairs.
How long does a full kitchen take?
It depends on the size of the kitchen and whether plumbing or electrical work is involved. We will give you a realistic timeline as part of the quote, not a guess.
