Our process / Quality & inspection

Quality checks tied to
your approved specification.

Good cabinetry is judged as an assembly: doors meet evenly, drawers clear adjacent fronts, grain and color work across a run, and the parts arrive with an identifiable place in the project. Connect those checks to the approved drawings, finish sample and hardware schedule.

Cabinet run with drawers and an appliance opening during workshop preassembly

01 / Specification first, then records

Every check points at something approved.

A checkpoint without an approved reference is an opinion. Each record names the drawing revision, sample reference or hardware model it was checked against.

What is approved

Drawing revision and cabinet list
Finish sample reference and batch
Hardware manufacturer and model
Packing plan and labeling logic
Acceptance criteria agreed with the client

What is recorded

Inspection report per checkpoint
Deviations, actions and closure
Photographs with cabinet numbers
Packing list matched to packages
Issue log through delivery and follow-up

Project references

Three views that make an inspection useful.

These photographs show different stages of the California kitchen. A room-wide view, an open-unit view and a close view answer different questions; keep the cabinet reference with each inspection image.

Open cabinet assembly with a shelf, side panels and metal fittings

Look inside the assemblyCheck the shelf positions, accessible fixings and usable interior as well as the outside dimensions. Photograph the back and underside where a finished view would hide the construction.

Drawer fronts with temporary labels during workshop review

Read the front as a complete runAdjacent fronts reveal alignment, gap consistency and handle position. Open each drawer and door to check the moving parts and the relationship to neighboring units.

Installed sink wall with veined backsplash and light cabinet fronts

Review the final interfacesAt installation, the cabinet run meets the countertop, appliances, walls and floor. Use these junctions to check that the site condition matches the coordinated detail.

02 / Seven checkpoints

From incoming materials to packing.

01Incoming materials

Product codes and batches against the material record.

Record · codes, batch, sheet

02Dimensions

Cabinet and part sizes against the approved drawing.

Record · measured vs drawn

03Structure & joinery

Joints, back panels and fixings as specified.

Record · method, fixings

04Finish

Color, sheen and grain against the sample reference.

Record · sample ID, conditions

05Hardware

Model, quantity, fixing and operation.

Record · model, operation check

06Pre-assembly

Runs stood up; reveals, alignment and fit.

Record · photos by cabinet number

07Packing

Labels, protection and the packing list match.

Record · packing list, labels

04 / Record an issue clearly

Make an inspection finding actionable.

A useful issue record identifies the component, the approved reference, the observed difference and the evidence needed to close it.

Identify the component: Record the room, cabinet number and part, with an overall image showing its position.
State the comparison: Name the drawing revision, sample reference or hardware model used for the check.
Describe the finding: Use a measured value or a clear close-up where appropriate. Describe what is visible without guessing its cause.
Track the resolution: Record the agreed action, responsible contact and the follow-up evidence. Retain both the original and resolved condition in the project file.

05 / Samples, models and reports

What each document covers.

01Sample ↔ finish

A finish is checked against its numbered sample; the sample reference and batch travel with every room that uses it.

02Model ↔ hardware

Hardware is checked against the manufacturer’s model and installation drawing, never against a generic description.

03Report ↔ product

A test report applies to the exact panel or product it names. A single supplier report is not a brand-wide certification.

06 / Client acceptance and feedback

Agreed before shipment, followed after delivery.

Agree the acceptance record and the process for reporting issues before shipment. The scope of each inspection, report and follow-up service belongs in the project agreement.

Acceptance criteria agreed before release and shipment
Inspection report and packing list issued with the consignment
Damage or shortages reported with photographs and cabinet numbers
Replacement parts handled through the issue log
