ONE SPACE Answer Guide
Custom cabinetry sourcing from China
Custom cabinetry should be treated as a drawing-and-specification package, not a catalogue purchase. Accurate site dimensions, approved layouts, materials, hardware, services, and installation responsibility must be clear before production.
Start from coordinated drawings
Prepare architectural plans, room dimensions, ceiling heights, door and window locations, plumbing and electrical points, appliance data, and local installation constraints. Shop drawings should be reviewed before production.
Control materials and hardware
Confirm board or metal construction, visible finish, edge treatment, countertop, handles, hinges, slides, baskets, lighting, accessories, and any destination compliance requirements in writing.
Prepare for overseas installation
Package panels and hardware by room or cabinet set, label accessories, protect finished surfaces, include drawings and assembly references, and define who handles site measurement risk, final adjustments, installation, and after-sales parts.
Common questions
Can cabinetry be quoted from a floor plan only?
A floor plan can support an early budget direction, but a reliable production quotation usually needs elevations, dimensions, materials, hardware, appliance details, and scope boundaries.
Does the China supplier install overseas?
Not automatically. Local installation, remote guidance, travelling installers, site measurements, accommodation, tools, permits, and responsibility must be confirmed separately.
What is the biggest cabinetry sourcing risk?
Starting production before dimensions, services, materials, hardware and approved drawings are fully coordinated creates the highest risk of site mismatch and rework.
