countertops, and detailed hardware breakdowns.

Casework & Cabinetry Layouts

Kitchen Cabinet Layouts

Takeoffs are available for all kitchen cabinetry including base units, wall units, island units, tall pantry units, and specialty storage units. Estimates are provided for cabinet quantities, sizes, materials, and hardware to ensure proper bidding, efficient fabrication, and easy installation.

Bathroom & Utility Cabinetry

Our estimating service applications include bathroom vanities, laundry storage, utility room cabinetry, and linen closets, just to name a few, for residential and commercial projects. We accurately measure cabinet components, countertops, shelving and accessories to help contractors save time and money, and keep to budgets.

Commercial Casework & Custom Fixtures

We create detailed estimates for commercial reception, nurse, cash wrap or retail desks and other custom millwork applications. Takeoff information covers material counts, hardware schedules and fabrication components for each takeoff, providing you with the information you need for accurate cost planning and successful project completion.

Custom Architectural Millwork & Built-ins

Custom Library Shelving, Media Centers & Built-In Features

We make comprehensive quantity takeoffs for custom library shelving, media centers, fireplace surrounds and built in bench seating. The material quantity, hardware, fabrication parts & installation needs are all included in our estimates to make sure you get the right price and do the job right.

Wainscoting & Wood Wall Paneling

Decorative wall finishes, such as wainscoting, tongue and groove paneling, shiplap, MDF panels and other architectural woodwork can all be estimated on our estimating services. Accurately calculating panel area, trim and backing materials and accessories ensures material efficiency and smooth procurement.

Crown Moldings, Valances & Finish Trim

We take off linear footage for crown moldings, valances, scribes, toe kicks, filler strips, and more finishing trim parts with great precision. All details are meticulously measured to aid correct ordering, avoid stock outs and smooth installation.

Countertops & Interfacing Surfaces

Countertop Material Estimating

We take accurate quantity take-offs of laminate, solid surface (Corian), quartz, granite and butcher block counter tops. Material areas, edge profiles, fabrication allowances and installation requirements are all taken into account in our estimates, enabling the exact budgeting and efficient production process.

Backsplashes & Cutout Details

We take into account detail measurements for backsplash lengths, side splashes and cutout allowances for sinks, cooktops, faucets and cable grommets for our estimating services. Each one is carefully designed with precise quantities, to minimise material wastage, fabricator accuracy and smooth installation.

Hardware & Internal Components

Drawer Slides & Motion Hardware

We can offer drawer slides quantity takeoffs with soft-close, undermount and heavy duty ball bearing slides. Our estimates will ensure that each hardware component is quantified accurately, facilitating accurate fabrication and efficient procurement and installation.

Hinges, Pulls & Cabinet Hardware

Cabinet hardware, including concealed hinges, decorative pulls, knobs, touch latches and more are included in our estimating service. Comprehensive hardware schedules are created to make sure that you have all the components, do not order the wrong parts and plan for easy installations.

Specialty Storage Accessories

Specialty pull-out systems, such as lazy Susans, pull-out waste bins, spice racks, pantry organizers and other functional storage solutions are accurately estimated. All accessories are taken with the takeoff to ensure it's a complete list of materials and to enhance project cost accuracy.

Our Deliverables: What You Receive

Organized, high-precision reports and marked-up drawings engineered to streamline your
procurement, fabrication, and bidding processes.

Itemized Cabinet Schedule (BOQ)

Get a fully detailed Bill of Quantities (BOQ) including all cabinets, panels, shelves, drawers, hardware and accessories. This streamlined procedure eases bidding, procurement, fabrication planning and reducing the risk of missing out on any critical part of the project, and helps manage inventory.

Color-Coded Elevation & Floor Plan Markups

Our high resolution elevation and floor plan markups clearly show cabinet layouts, millwork locations and installations, and they are colour coded. These annotated drawings help to communicate clearly with designers, fabricators and installers, and minimize manufacturing and installation errors.

Material Matrix (Sheet Goods & Lumber)

Our material matrix provides a detailed breakdown of plywood, MDF, particleboard, hardwood, veneers, laminates, and solid lumber required for the project. This organized report helps optimize material purchasing, reduce waste, and improve shop production efficiency.

Linear Edge & Trim Log

Receive a detailed log of edge banding, moldings, filler strips, scribes, toe kicks, and trim components measured by linear footage. This ensures accurate ordering of finishing materials, minimizes shortages, and supports a smooth fabrication and installation process.

Why Accuracy is Critical in Cabinet Bidding

Avoid costly overruns and protect your profit margins with detailed, precise millwork
takeoffs.

The Scribe and Filler Trap

Some of the small details like scribes, filler strips, toe kicks, trim pieces etc. can get overlooked when estimating, which can result in additional material costs and installation delays. Our takeoffs are detailed so you can be confident your job estimates are accurate and you won't have to deal with an expensive change order.

Flawless Production Planning

When fabrication starts, a complete material and component schedule is presented to your workshop by making accurate cabinet take-offs. This increases efficiency in the production, minimises material waste and keeps manufacturing and installation schedules to the best of the ability.

Accurate Fabrication vs. Install Labor

We clearly distinguish fabrication requirements from on-site installation activities, allowing you to estimate labor costs more precisely. This separation supports realistic budgeting, better resource allocation, and improved project profitability.

Isolate Specialty Finishes

Projects often include premium finishes such as veneers, laminates, painted surfaces, stained wood, or specialty coatings that require separate pricing. Our estimates identify these finish categories individually, helping you calculate costs accurately, simplify procurement, and protect your profit.

Step-by-Step Process

Our Step-by-Step Technical Process

A structured workflow designed to provide flawless estimates from initial plans to final bid
deliverables.

Step 1

Document Upload

Submit architectural drawings, millwork details, cabinet schedules, specifications and any project addenda. All submitted documents are reviewed to completely understand the project’s scope to be able to capture each and every cabinetry component at the onset of the project.

Step 2

Specification & Division 06/12 Review

Our estimators take the time to carefully review project specifications to determine material needs, construction techniques, hardware requirements, finishes and installation standards to ensure accurate estimates in CSI Divisions 06 (Wood, Plastics & Composites) and 12 (Furnishings).

Step 3

Multi-Dimensional Digitization

We take digital cabinet layouts, elevations, sections and detailed millwork drawings using advanced digital takeoff software. This method precisely reflects cabinet sizes, panel sizes, linear footage, surface area and quantity of materials for dependable cost estimates.

Step 4

Component & Hardware Extraction

We make all cabinet boxes, cabinet doors, cabinet drawers, cabinet cabinets, cabinet shelves, countertop and edge banding, cabinet hardware, cabinet specialty accessories and finishing materials. Each component is measured individually to ensure a more precise procurement, fabrication planning and inventory control.

Step 5

Delivery

After a thorough quality review, we provide you with everything you need in an estimating package such as an itemised BOQ, colour coded markups, material schedules, hardware list, edge and trim log and any labor estimates. Final reports are ready for bidding, procurement and production with organized and easy to review report.
