Step 2: Select the Cabinet Manufacturer, Door Style, and ColorDepending on the customers budget and expectations, you must choose the best cabinet line for them. Then, they must choose samples of stain/paint color and door style to take home, so they can see it in their own light.

Step 3: Make Appointment to Measure Set up a day and time that you can go to the customers house and see the space. Then, you have a better idea of lighting, and you can give them tips on how to make their space flow with other rooms.

Step 7: Ordering

Most companies want you to order online or by fax. Most importantly you have to make sure you choose the correct wood species, finish, and construction. Then you input all your SKU’s for the different cabinets. Be sure to add the extra trim pieces that may not show up on your design.

Step 8: Delivery of Cabinets

On the scheduled date of delivery, you should be the first one on the job. The delivery truck should never beat you. As the company is unloading, check off each cabinet to make sure you received all of them.

Step 9: Installation

Installation is not your job. But you must supply the installer or the homeowner with a copy of the design so every cabinet is in the spot where you planned it.
