Functional, Well-Planned Kitchens — Renovated the Right Way
Kitchen Renovation
A kitchen renovation is one of the most technically involved renovations in a home. Cabinetry, appliances, plumbing, electrics, ventilation, lighting, flooring, and finishes must all align precisely — often within a tight space where millimetres matter.
At Murami Consulting, we specialise in full kitchen renovations in the Netherlands, managing all renovation works around your kitchen from start to finish. We focus on execution, working from a clearly defined layout and scope to deliver a smooth process, transparent costs, and a high-quality result.
Murami Consulting handles the construction and technical preparation required for a complete kitchen renovation, including demolition, plumbing, electrics, ventilation, walls, ceilings, floors and finishing. We work from final kitchen-supplier drawings; kitchen units, appliances and design are normally ordered by the client unless expressly included in our quotation. Kitchen renovation work takes 2–4 weeks, depending on layout changes and coordination with kitchen delivery. You receive one coordinated in-house team and a fixed quotation for the agreed scope.

We’ve done two seperate projects with Murami and both were done efficiently with care. Communication is smooth, quoting and assessments are fair and transparent and the workmanship has been excellent. I’ve recommended Murami to everyone I know! Will absolutely be calling them for any upcoming projectsPosted on Natalia SutinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I will update the review once the renovation is finished but so far, we are having an OUTSTANDING experience with Mikhail, Nik and the Murami team. Some highlights: - Murami provides a single quote for the job and guarantee completion within timeframe and budget. That’s huge for peace of mind. - At the same time, Murami has been very flexible with us when we had to change or adjust scope. As this is our first renovation, that flexibility is tremendously appreciated. - Murami has acted more as a partner than just an executor. The team actively provides suggestions on things that will work in our space. - The crew is great - professional and effective. It is clear that their focus is on quality craftsmanship. We are very grateful that we chose Murami for our first renovation.Posted on Carolina AbreuTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Murami to renovate our bathroom and install new floors and I couldn't ask for more! First of all, they gave a solution to put a toilet upstairs that none other professional we consulted had thought of, which added a lot of value to us. Second of all, everything was done on time and the finishings look flawless! Communication was easy and they were also flexible to add minor things throughout the project. Super happy about result! Highly recommend.Posted on Samuel HughesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very well done, with good attention to detail. And they delivered on time! I’m really happy with the service.Posted on sanjaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi All, I want to share one positive experience with this group. We recently had our kitchen in Hilversum area renovated by the team @Murami Consulting and the experience exceeded all our expectations. After a nightmare renovation project last year, when dishonest contractors dragged our bathroom and flooring work on for months, we were understandably cautious. Thankfully, this team completely restored our faith in what a professional renovation experience should look like. They were transparent, reliable, and a pleasure to work with from day one. Communication was always clear, timelines were respected, and they did exactly what they said they would do. On top of that, they were incredibly tidy and treated our home with great care and respect throughout the project. The quality of their work is excellent, but what stood out most was their professionalism and integrity. It was genuinely refreshing to work with people we could trust. We are delighted with our new kitchen and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and skilled renovation team.Posted on Katarzyna DolecińskaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional team. The gentlemen worked very quietly, which was a huge advantage with a small child at home. The work was completed within the agreed deadline, and the quality of execution was excellent. I highly recommend them and we will gladly return to Murami for future renovations.Posted on Dorien den OudenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. RELIABLE AND DELIVERED ON TIME I had a very positive experience working with Murami Consulting. Under the leadership of Mikhail and Max, and with Nick leading the on-site team, a large-scale renovation project was successfully completed in just 2.5 months. The project included a 3 x 6 meter ground floor extension, a completely new floor with underfloor heating, a new fence, installation of an additional toilet, a fully renovated bathroom, a fixed staircase to the attic, and the interior finishing of a roof extension. What really stood out to me was the level of involvement and problem-solving from Mikhail. Even for parts that were not carried out directly by their team, such as the roof extension, he actively thought along, offered solutions, and connected me with the right professionals. The interior finishing of this was then neatly handled by their team. In addition, the team worked not only with great attention to detail in the finishing, but also maintained a high level of cleanliness throughout the entire process. At the end of each workday, everything was tidied up and left clean, which makes a big difference during an intensive renovation. Communication was clear, agreements were respected, and the team remained professional, structured, and efficient—even under pressure. I would definitely recommend Murami Consulting to anyone looking for a reliable, solution-oriented, and high-quality construction partner. BETROUWBAAR EN OP TIJD GELEVERD Met Murami Consulting heb ik zeer prettig samengewerkt. Onder leiding van Mikhail en Max, en met Nick als voorman van het uitvoerende team, is een grootschalig project in slechts 2,5 maand gerealiseerd. Het project omvatte onder andere een uitbouw van 3 x 6 meter op de begane grond, een compleet nieuwe vloer inclusief vloerverwarming, een nieuwe schutting, de installatie van een extra toilet, een volledig nieuwe badkamer, een vaste trap naar zolder en de afwerking van een nokverhoging. Wat voor mij echt het verschil maakte, was de betrokkenheid en het meedenken van Mikhail. Ook bij onderdelen die niet direct door hen zelf zijn uitgevoerd, zoals de nokverhoging, dacht hij actief mee in oplossingen en bracht hij mij in contact met de juiste partijen. De binnenafwerking hiervan is vervolgens weer netjes door het team opgepakt. Daarnaast werkte het team niet alleen zorgvuldig in de afwerking, maar ook opvallend netjes gedurende het hele traject. Aan het einde van elke werkdag werd alles opgeruimd en schoon achtergelaten, wat in een intensieve verbouwing echt een groot verschil maakt. De communicatie was helder, afspraken werden nagekomen en het team bleef ook onder druk professioneel en gestructureerd werken. Ik zou Murami Consulting dan ook zeker aanbevelen aan iedereen die op zoek is naar een betrouwbare en meedenkende partij voor een verbouwing.Posted on Morgan KayeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely happy with the service and workmanship from Murami Consulting. We replastered our entire house, and had a ventilation system, a false ceiling and ceiling insulation fitted. Mikhail kept us informed step by step and sent weekly reports on the labour and materials costs, he and his team gave us expert advice and suggestions on all of our concerns. As expats with little knowledge on costs and/or home improvement, Mikhail and his team were patient and clear on all pros and cons. And in English which helped us greatly. The job was completed in exactly the initial timeline laid out at the start. I plan to work with Murami Consulting again for my bathroom renovation next year. I absolutely would recommend.Posted on Gino de GuzmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Clear communication (from planning, expectations, to regular updates), fair pricing, and on schedule. They helped us with painting the interior of our whole house, replaced the floors and all the minor repairs we wanted to do before moving in. And when it was time for our family to move in, they left the house nice and neat.
A Successful Kitchen Renovation Starts with Clarity
Every successful kitchen renovation starts with clarity.
Not just clarity for us as contractors — but clarity for you as a homeowner as well.
Before any work begins, it’s important that we all share the same understanding of:
- How the kitchen will be laid out
- Where cabinets, tall units, and appliances will be positioned
- How details such as finishes, lighting, and connections should function
We’re happy to review and validate an existing kitchen layout, discuss technical feasibility, and advise on execution — but we don’t design kitchen layouts ourselves. We work from defined plans to ensure accuracy, reliability, and a smooth renovation process.
The clearer the plan upfront, the fewer assumptions during construction — and the more predictable the outcome.
We Renovate, You Design
To prepare a clear and fixed quote, the final kitchen layout must be defined first.
This includes:
- Position of all cabinets and tall units
- Appliance locations (oven, hob, fridge, dishwasher, extractor)
- Plumbing points (sink, dishwasher, boiling-water taps)
- Electrical points (sockets, appliance feeds, lighting)
- Ventilation routes and extractor position
Important to note:
- We do not design kitchen layouts
- We do not manufacture or supply kitchens
Our role is to take the approved kitchen plan and execute all renovation works around it, ensuring services and finishes are prepared exactly as required.
Finishes & Details
Kitchen renovations are highly detail-driven. Choices around layout complexity, finishes, and appliances directly impact labour time and overall cost.
That’s why it’s important to clarify:
- Kitchen type (straight / L-shape / U-shape / island)
Cabinet heights and depths - Worktop material and thickness
- Backsplash type and height
- Integrated vs freestanding appliances
- Lighting type (spots, under-cabinet, pendants)
A clear and detailed scope of works allows us to plan properly, coordinate trades efficiently, and price transparently.
What a Full Kitchen Renovation Includes
Our full kitchen renovation service typically covers:
- Demolition of the existing kitchen and finishes
- Removal or relocation of plumbing and electrics
- New plumbing connections for sink and appliances
- Electrical works, appliance feeds, and lighting
- Ventilation preparation and extractor connections
- Wall preparation and plastering
- Floor preparation and levelling
- Installation support for client-supplied kitchen
- Backsplash tiling or wall finishes
- Painting and final finishing
All renovation works are coordinated and executed by one in-house team, with one clear point of responsibility.
