Many thanks, Roz. You have obviously put a lot of thought and work into this and I'm sure it will be very useful. Hope you had a pleasurable Xmas/New Year and look forward to seeing you soon. Sue xx

Catherine asked me to set up some searches on Trademe for complete commercial kitchens. The results are below/attached. For those who don’t have time for emails my recommendations are: We create a further committee to decide the layout/appliances etc and fine tune the pricing attached and we wait until closer to completion to see if we can actually afford to do a complete commercial kitchen or need other ideas.
At the moment seems our choices are as follows: Rely on having meals as pot luck Install minimum commercial kitchen Install a final commercial kitchen Install a second hand domestic kitchen and replace later
So far have not been able to clarify how complete the actual room will be when settlement arrives. Additional costs could come from: Insulation/lining/plastering/decorating/plumbing/wiring/flooring etc etc
I have been watching Trademe under different searches since Catherine asked me to, have also checked with businesses specialising in commercial kitchens. Conclusions are: There is no such thing as a complete commercial kitchen, commercial kitchens come as components chosen to suit room/need etc. This means if we can afford a commercial kitchen straight away we need to work out what we want in it. There are plenty of complete domestic kitchens available second hand if we find ourselves with some money but not sufficient for a permanent solution.
I have tried to make up a list based on our kitchen, lists off the internet and the artist’s impression off the UCOL plan. Have included the appliances (larger) from the work done by Frances and Nancy (apologies if anyone else helped and not mentioned). FYI Nisbets, who deal in commercial kitchens, say on their website if a proper commercial dishwasher is used there is no need for a steriliser. Prices are off the internet, off Trademe and most of the smaller items were priced from Briscoes website. Remembering anything you can buy at Briscoes is almost bound to come up in a 60% off sale sooner or later. I didn’t shop around for cheaper prices, we need to know what we want before we can do that. Cost estimates are: Appliances and benches etc approximately $28000 Smaller items approximately $12000 Plus any extras (see above) that may be needed to finish the actual room Additional cost could be freight/collection costs
We are planning to come to the next meeting but it is too early, in my opinion, to do much apart from a layout for the final kitchen until we see how much contingency is left. So next meeting this could go on the agenda for brief discussion and to see if anyone wants to take it further. Regds roz
