Arcaya coordinates production with manufacturing partners; partner workshops are shown as such, never as “our factory”.

01 / Arcaya’s role

Coordination you can hold someone to.

Arcaya specifies, sources, reviews and coordinates custom cabinetry made by manufacturing partners in China, and manages the project from brief to handover. Product scope and partner scope are stated per project, never summed into a capacity figure.

01From collection to configuration

A chosen collection and finish become a manufacturable configuration: door profile, substrate, edge, hardware and countertop, each with a record.

02From configuration to drawings

Site dimensions, interfaces and the room schedule turn the configuration into approved drawings and a cabinet list.

03From drawings to delivered cabinetry

Trial assembly, inspection, labeled packing and delivery against the approved revision.

02 / Who is responsible for what

Three parties, one table.

Proposed split for a typical project. Confirmed per project in the agreed scope.

From design to production

Make each cabinetry decision traceable.

China’s specialist cabinetry supply chain can be explored through the parts of a project: the cabinet box, door, surface, edge and functional fittings. The project brief should connect these choices in one agreed configuration, rather than treating a catalog image as a complete specification.

Part of the briefDecisions to recordEvidence to review
Cabinet construction

Component, core, assembly and fixing method; separate the cabinet box from the door construction.

Dimensioned drawings and the identified panel or component

Visible surfaces

Door profile, decorative surface, coating, grain direction and reverse side.

Labeled samples and the approved finish schedule

Edges and junctions

Panel edges, corners, end returns, handles and countertop junctions.

Sections and representative assembled details

Storage and fittings

Contents, clear dimensions, opening path, hardware model and service access.

Layout, fitting instructions and compatibility review

Handover

Room, cabinet and package references; agreed inspection and delivery responsibilities.
