Quote preparation

Custom Cabinet System Quote Checklist

Use this page before asking for a quote. It shows exactly what to send so Last Closet can price a cabinet system from dimensions, drawings, materials, hardware, and project scope instead of guessing from one inspiration photo.

Best first output: system direction and budget range. Detailed cabinet, accessory, hardware, and delivery line items come after the measurements and specifications are clear.

Why this matters

Your inquiry should describe a system, not just a room.

Last Closet quotes are built from repeatable system decisions: room list, cabinet dimensions, module count, material and finish direction, hardware level, accessories, delivery scope, and approval stage. When those inputs are missing, an early number becomes misleading.

The checklist below is designed to improve inquiry quality. It helps us decide whether the project needs a kitchen cabinet system, closet system, whole-house cabinet package, integrated door wall system, vanity, laundry, mudroom, pantry, or a multi-room combination.

What to send

Six inputs that make a cabinet quote usable

Room scope

List every space included: kitchen, closet, vanity, laundry, mudroom, pantry, built-ins, integrated wall panels, or whole-house cabinet package.

Measurements

Send wall lengths, ceiling height, cabinet depth constraints, openings, windows, doors, columns, soffits, and any wall conditions that affect built-in cabinetry.

Drawings or sketch

Architectural drawings are best. If you do not have them, send a hand sketch with each wall marked and the main dimensions labeled.

Photos and video

Show full walls, corners, openings, appliance areas, outlets, plumbing points, existing cabinets, and any site condition that could change the cabinet system.

Style and materials

Send door style, finish direction, wood or panel preference, hardware level, sample needs, and any reference images that match the look you want.

Budget and timeline

Share a realistic budget direction and target timing. This helps us recommend the right system level before detailed drawings and line items are locked.

By project type

What changes by cabinet system type

Kitchen Cabinet System

Send floor plan, appliance sizes, sink and range location, island needs, wall elevations, drawer ratio, organizer needs, and finish direction.

Closet and Wardrobe System

Send wall length, ceiling height, opening type, hanging zones, drawer count, shoe and bag storage, lighting, mirror, and finish direction.

Integrated Door Wall System

Send wall elevations, hidden door positions, panel direction, hardware requirements, lighting, service access, and finish continuity needs.

Whole-House Cabinet System

Send room list, priority spaces, drawings, shared material direction, delivery location, timeline, and which rooms should use one coordinated finish system.

What you receive back

The quote is a system output, not a one-line price.

01

Scope review

Confirm rooms, system type, missing measurements, and unclear 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 specification is locked.

04

Specification

Confirm drawings, materials, accessories, delivery scope, and approval notes.

05

Detailed quote

Move into line items after the cabinet system variables are clear.

Avoid quote delays

Common gaps that slow down the quote

Most delays happen when a request only includes inspiration photos, when the 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.

For whole-house projects, the room list and priority order matter first. We can then decide which spaces should share materials, hardware, packaging logic, and delivery planning.
