Tokai backs onto the forest and the Constantiaberg slopes, and most of the suburb is freestanding homes on decent-sized stands rather than blocks of flats. Double-storey family houses with double garages are common, along with a growing number of security estates and complexes closer to the M3. That means bigger kitchens, longer wardrobe runs, and garages that often need proper storage of their own. CDC Projects builds and fits cupboards, flooring, doors and plumbing across Tokai, sized to the house you actually have. We don’t work off a standard template, because very few Tokai homes are actually standard.
Our services in Tokai
Kitchen cupboards in Tokai
Family-sized kitchens are the norm here, and that usually means more cupboard runs, bigger islands and space for a scullery or pantry wall. We measure the room properly before we quote, so the layout works for how a bigger household actually cooks and stores. See our kitchen cupboards page for board and finish options.
Free-standing cupboards
Double garages and studies are common in Tokai, and both need proper storage that isn’t built into a wall. We build free-standing units for garages, laundries and home offices, sized to fit an existing space without a full renovation. Have a look at our free-standing cupboards range.
Bedroom cupboards and wardrobes
Bigger main bedrooms mean there’s often room for a full wall-to-wall wardrobe instead of a squeezed-in unit. We fit sliding or hinged doors depending on the room shape and what you need to store. Our bedroom cupboards page has examples of both.
Doors and lock fitting
Bigger properties usually mean more external doors: patio doors, side gates into the garage, doors onto a deck or garden. We fit and re-hang doors and sort out locks that have started sticking or don’t close properly any more, which happens a lot with older timber doors. Check our door installation page.
Laminate flooring
Some of the older homes on the forest side of Tokai still have original parquet or ageing carpet in passages and bedrooms. Laminate is a straightforward, budget-friendly swap that copes well with kids and pets. Our laminate flooring page covers the boards we install.
DIY cupboards
If you’ve already bought flat-pack units and just want them assembled and levelled properly, we can do that without selling you a full custom job. See our DIY cupboards page for what that service covers.
Plumbing
From geyser issues to a kitchen renovation that needs pipework moved, our plumbing team works alongside the cupboard installers so you’re not booking two separate contractors. Visit our plumbing services page for the full list.
How we work
- We measure the space on site, no quoting off photos alone.
- You get a written quote with board, hardware and finish options.
- We build the cupboards or order the flooring once you approve.
- We install on the agreed date and clean up after ourselves.
What we need from you before quoting
- Rough dimensions or photos of the space (a site visit confirms exact measurements)
- Any colour or board preference, or tell us your budget and we’ll suggest options
- Access details if you’re in a complex or estate with security control
- Your preferred timeline, especially if it’s tied to another renovation
Common questions from Tokai homeowners
Do you work in security estates and access-controlled complexes?
Yes. Just let us know the access and gate requirements in advance so the crew isn’t held up on the day.
How long does a full kitchen cupboard installation take?
It depends on the size. Most family kitchens take a few days to install once the boards are cut and ready, though bigger layouts with an island take longer.
Can you match new cupboards to an older home’s existing woodwork?
We can get close on paint and stain tones, though exact grain matching on very old timber isn’t always possible. We’ll be upfront about what’s realistic before you commit, rather than promising a perfect match we can’t deliver.
Do you take on small jobs, like just one wardrobe or a garage cupboard?
Yes. We don’t need a whole-house renovation to make a job worth quoting on.
