What to Send for a Custom Cabinet Budget Review

You do not need perfect drawings to start. Send the room photos, rough measurements, project notes, and style references you already have. Last Closet will review whether the information is enough for a useful budget range, then tell you what details are still needed before a detailed line-item quote.

Best first output: room scope, cabinet system direction, missing-information notes, and a budget range. Detailed cabinet, accessory, hardware, and delivery line items come after measurements and specifications are clear.

Why this matters

A better quote starts with a clearer room story.

A custom cabinet request should explain the project enough for a designer to understand scope, not force you to finish every drawing before the first conversation. Photos and rough dimensions are enough to open the review. More complete measurements, drawings, material preferences, and hardware notes help us move from an early range toward a detailed quote.

This checklist is built for kitchen cabinet systems, closet and wardrobe systems, whole-home cabinet packages, integrated door wall systems, vanities, laundry rooms, mudrooms, pantries, and multi-room storage projects.

Minimum to start

Send what you have first

These details are enough for Last Closet to understand the project direction and decide whether we can prepare an initial budget range.

Room type

Tell us whether the project is a kitchen, closet, wardrobe, vanity, laundry, mudroom, pantry, built-in wall, integrated door wall, or whole-home cabinet package.

Project location

Share city and state so delivery boundary, project timing, and US-market assumptions are clear from the beginning.

Current photos

Send full-wall photos, corners, openings, appliances, outlets, plumbing points, existing cabinets, and any site condition that may affect the system.

Rough measurements

Wall lengths, ceiling height, cabinet depth limits, door and window openings, and major obstacles are enough for the first review.

Style references

Upload inspiration images, color direction, door style, finish preference, and any project examples that match the look you want.

Timeline

Tell us whether this is an early planning request, active remodel, new build, contractor project, or urgent replacement.

For a more accurate range

Details that help us price the system with less guessing

Drawings or Sketch

Architectural plans are best. A hand sketch with wall labels and dimensions is still useful if drawings are not ready.

Material Direction

Panel type, finish family, door style, color reference, sample expectations, and certification needs help narrow the budget level.

Hardware and Accessories

Drawer slides, hinges, pull-outs, organizers, lighting, glass doors, mirrors, and specialty storage change the line-item quote.

Budget Direction

A target budget or preferred system level helps us recommend the right specification before detailed drawings are locked.

What happens after you send it

The first review should make the next step easier.

01

Scope review

Confirm rooms, system type, missing measurements, and site conditions.

02

System direction

Map cabinet modules, storage logic, finish level, and hardware direction.

03

Budget range

Give a practical early range before detailed specifications are locked.

04

Missing details

Tell you exactly what must be added before a stronger quote can be prepared.

05

Detailed quote

Move into line items after dimensions, materials, hardware, and delivery scope are clear.

Avoid quote delays

Common gaps that slow down the quote

Most delays happen when a request only includes inspiration photos, when ceiling height is unknown, when appliance sizes are missing, when the closet opening type is unclear, or when material and hardware level are not decided.

If you are unsure, do not wait. Send photos and rough dimensions first. We will tell you what is enough for a first budget review and what information should be added before a detailed quote.
