Bespoke cabinets — Carpenter and joiner
Describe what the cabinet will store and how the room is used, with dimensions and photographs of the proposed position. Drawers for documents, a wardrobe and a utility cupboard need different layouts; clarify whether the unit is built-in and what obstructions must remain accessible.
Service scope
Design, manufacture and fitting of cabinetry to suit a particular space and storage purpose, including dimensions, internal layout, doors and hardware. Built-in cabinets are distinguished from freestanding furniture, and fixing or stability requirements must suit the actual construction.
What is normally included
- Measured cabinet layouts
- Custom shelves, doors and internal fittings
- Agreed manufacture and site fitting
What is not included
- Unspecified electrical or plumbing integration
- Assumed support from an unverified wall or floor
Typical tasks
- Develop the storage and layout brief
- Take final site measurements
- Confirm materials and hardware
- Manufacture and fit the agreed cabinets
- Check doors, drawers and securing arrangements
What to include in your brief
- Room and installation photographs
- Storage contents and access needs
- Approximate dimensions
- Material and finish preferences
- Hardware and internal-layout requirements
Choosing the right professional
Review a drawing and material specification before manufacture, including internal dimensions and door clearances. Ask about final measuring, fixing to the actual substrate, finish samples and access to existing services rather than comparing external cabinet size alone.
Important considerations
- Incorrect measurements can make a fitted unit unusable
- Unsecured or poorly supported cabinetry can create a stability risk
