A schedule at a grade, one order.
The other productDrawing every piece to its opening, one finish family through the house? That is Crateworks Custom.
What builder grade means here
Builder grade is a performance floor, not a materials list. The money goes on what the buyer touches and comes off what they never see. This is the standard we quote from unless your spec says otherwise, category by category.
Door and cabinet hardware
- One finish family across every piece of metal a hand touches
- Matte black
- Required ANSI/BHMA grade, if the specification calls one out
- Residential duty, grade unstated
Flooring
- Which rooms are hard surface, which are carpet, which are tile
- Hard surface throughout except tile in bathrooms; carpet excluded and stated as an exclusion
- Hard surface product
- SPC / rigid-core vinyl plank
- Wear layer, in mils
- 12 mil, builder spec
- If engineered, veneer thickness
- 2mm
- Stairs, carpet or hard surface, and are the landings different from the flight
- Hard surface, matching the field finish
- Lay pattern and direction
- Straight lay
- Confirm every unit takes flooring from one production run

Doors and trim follow the same rule. Slab or panel moulded interior doors, one style through the house, prehung and primed for site paint. Casing and base milled to your profile, the T100 flat profile shown here, casing and base the same section both ways. Levers, privacy sets and entry sets in one finish across the house.
Not this package
- Natural stone and slab work
- Glass screens and partitions
- Built-in and arched millwork
Those are the custom product. Crateworks Custom draws them to the room.
What you get
- One price for the whole schedule, line by line, back in five business days.
- One delivery date, agreed in writing before anything is made.
- Cabinetry, closets and doors to the grade above, quantities taken off your plans, one finish family across the house, arriving assembled rather than flat.
- Countertops measured to the cabinets, so the tops turn up with the boxes instead of somebody coming back to template after the install.
- 23 of the 36 lines below in one order, and an honest mark against the rest, including the ones we cannot supply and why.
Where the saving is
The gap moves with the spec. Premium finishes save the most, because that is where local pricing is worst, and builder grade saves less. We will tell you which one you are looking at, in dollars against a published price, before you commit to anything.
Most of that gap is not in the lines you already price. It is in the ones you have not had quoted yet. Countertops, tile, the closet organisers, the mudroom lockers, the pantry and linen shelving all sit inside the package rather than turning up later as extras against a budget that has already been set.
Two more reasons, neither of them clever. It ships as one consignment, so several houses moving together carry the delivery once between them instead of each paying it alone. And one order, one schedule, one date means you stop paying for eight vendors to coordinate with each other, and for the weeks that go missing when they do not.
One house or a hundred
We have priced sets from one house to a hundred. The last three-house schedule ran to eighteen cabinetry and countertop lines, three flooring and tile lines and ten door and hardware lines. The hundred-house programme ran to twenty-three lines of doors, trim and hardware, each one priced individually.
On a programme, the sheet carries one column we care about more than our own: yours. Mark what each line costs you today. We move on the lines where it matters to you rather than take a flat cut across everything, and where you already buy better than we can, we hand that line back rather than argue about it.
Figures are removed from both samples. The priced sheets arrive with your quote.
