Kitchen island with a stone top, a glass-railed stair and the entry bench alcove, all in one custom-built residence

The schedule that survived.

Every custom build has a finish schedule that gets value-engineered down when local bids come in. This one didn't. The arched bookcases, the stone-wrapped bath, the full closet program: everything on the original drawings got built.

Two homes for a custom builder in western Canada

A whole-home cabinetry package for a single residence, produced as two matching sets. Every piece was custom-built to the room it stands in, approved off a render and a physical finish sample, and delivered on one schedule.

Colours were matched to the paint codes on the finish schedule rather than picked from a door range. Hardware, glass, upholstery and lighting were called out piece by piece before anything was cut. Walk it room by room below.

At published retail, this millwork and stone package prices well into six figures. The difference between that and what the builder actually spent went into the elevator and the rooftop terrace.

Retail reference $211,000 CADPackage, delivered $130,000 CADSee the comparables

Both figures cover the millwork package only: eighteen pieces across 147 linear feet. They do not include lighting, plumbing, flooring, tile or fencing. The lighting chapter is a proposed schedule rather than supplied scope and carries no price.

Every LED built into the cabinetry is in that package figure: the walk-in closet runs, the bar niche, the coffee bar uppers, the bookcase shelves, the lit shelves in the hallways. All of it is low voltage and plugs in, so the electrician lands a supply and the cabinet does the rest.

The retail reference is set below the floor of the published ladders it is drawn from, on purpose. Every figure behind it is a third party's own published price, listed in the millwork chapter and in the retail benchmark.

How a piece gets made.

Drawn

You send elevations and a finish schedule. Each piece comes back as a dimensioned shop drawing with hardware, glass and upholstery called out.

Approved

You approve the drawing and a physical finish sample before anything is cut. The sample you sign is the finish that ships.

Installed

Pieces arrive built to the opening, so your trades hang and level rather than scribe and improvise.

In use

Soft-close hinges and undermount slides on every drawer, push-open wherever the face carries no handle.

Each piece below carries the rungs we can show today. Drawn and approved are on file for all of them. Installed and in use fill in as the finished rooms are photographed.

4 pieces

Kitchen

A main run, an island, a full-height pantry and a coffee bar, drawn as one zone so the finishes carry across all four.

Kitchen, furnished: the run, the island and the dining table from the far end

Kitchen run and island

Matt lacquer flat panel matched to a paint code off the finish schedule. Glass-front uppers, fluted glass, spice and cutlery drawers, pull-out tall trash, soft-close throughout.

Chapters.

The same build, category by category. Each one opens when its documentation is complete, which is why some of these are still a line of text rather than a page.

The categories on this schedule.

Ask for the named brief.

Everything above is the build with the names taken out. The full version names the builder, walks the schedule decision by decision, and shows what the finished house went to market at. We send it to builders, designers and developers.

Nothing downloads here. A person sends it.

Send your drawings and we will quote the package.

Elevations, a finish schedule, or a marked-up plan is enough to start. Cabinetry is quoted alongside anything else on the same schedule, with the delivered window stated in writing: about 90 days from confirmed specs and deposit.
