Our process

From the first brief
to an agreed specification.

Move from a room brief to a coordinated set of cabinet, material and delivery decisions. The California kitchen references below connect design development with workshop preparation and the installed result.

01 / Project workflow

Each step ends with a clear decision.

Every stage names its responsible person, its inputs, its output and the approval that closes it. Lead times are confirmed per order, never as a standard number of days.

01Brief & scope

Confirm rooms, country, quantities, interfaces and responsibilities.

Approval record · Scope and open questions

02Material & sample review

Review exact finish codes, substrate and hardware options.

Approval record · Approved sample reference

03Drawings & quotation

Coordinate dimensions, component schedule and commercial scope.

Approval record · Approved revision and quotation

04Production release

Release work against the approved specification.

Approval record · Production release record

05Inspection & packing

Check the agreed inspection points and identify packed components.

Approval record · Inspection report and packing list

06Delivery & follow-up

Follow the agreed delivery terms and document any issues.

Approval record · Delivery record and issue log

Project references

Follow the same cabinet through different stages.

A complete room photograph explains the design. Workshop and site photographs reveal the intermediate steps that need their own review.

Open cabinet assembly with shelf divisions and metal fittings

Coordinate the interiorReview shelf divisions, usable openings and access to fittings alongside the exterior design. Record these decisions in the component schedule.

Light cabinet fronts and drawer assemblies during workshop preparation

Assembly reviewStand related units together to inspect front alignment, openings and moving components before they leave the workshop.

Cabinet components and packages staged on a protected site floor

Site handoverMatch labeled packages and loose components to the room schedule so installation starts with a clear inventory.

Drawer fronts taped and labeled, checked for consistent reveals before packing

02 / Quality records

Show what was checked.

Use cabinet references to connect photographs, measurements and checks with the latest approved specification. Agree tolerances and inspection scope in the project documentation.

Incoming materialsProduct codes, batch references and relevant documentation
Finish approvalSample ID, date, selected color and finish
Assembly & dimensionsInspection against approved drawings and tolerances
HardwareModel, quantity, fixing and operation checks
PackingComponent labels, protection and packing-list match

03 / Delivery scope

Make the handover explicit.

Name the delivery point and divide the responsibilities for freight, customs, unloading, storage and installation in the written scope.

Confirm the named destination and delivery term.
Identify freight, insurance, clearance, duties and local charges in the agreed scope.
Define packing, site unloading, storage and installation responsibilities.
Agree the reporting process for damage, shortages and replacement parts.
