Custom Cabinet Design & Installation in Singapore

From the first conversation to the final fitting, know what happens next.

Plan kitchens, wardrobes and living spaces around your home—with Leica site scanning, 3D design reviews and detailed technical drawings before production.

01 / GETTING STARTED

Your ideas. A clear starting point.

01

Consultation & quote

Begin with your home

Visit our showroom to discuss your floor plan, storage needs and preferred finishes. We help shape the scope of your cabinetry and prepare an estimated quotation. Our digital quotation process brings material choices, dimensions and costs together for review.

Bring your floor plan, room photos, inspiration and approximate budget.

02

Deposit & project start

10% deposit

Once you are ready to proceed, a 10% deposit starts your custom cabinetry project. We coordinate the next measurement and design stages with you.

A clear starting point before detailed design begins.

02 / FROM YOUR SPACE TO YOUR DESIGN

On-site measurement with Leica scanning

Measurement data: 3 working days

We scan your space on site and organise the measurement data that informs your cabinet design. This gives the design team a detailed reference for planning around the room.

Installation & progress checks

Progress photos and installation records help our team track completed work and outstanding items.
A CHECKPOINT BEFORE AFTERCARE

Internal inspection. Your final sign-off.

Our team carries out an internal inspection before reviewing the finished cabinetry with you. Any outstanding items are recorded for follow-up, and your sign-off confirms completion of the handover.

04 / SUPPORT AFTER HANDOVER

Care continues after installation.

09

After-sales support

Please report issues within 7 working days of handover. Our process allows for replacement parts to be shipped to Singapore within 30 days and on-site repair within 7 working days. Special parts may need additional time.

Reported issues are recorded for follow-up, with on-site repair or replacement coordinated according to the issue and the agreed project terms.

10

Repair service

Product quality issues are repaired free of charge within the warranty period stated in your contract. Non-product-quality issues are subject to a service fee.

The warranty period and coverage follow your project contract.

PLAN WITH CONFIDENCE

Timing & payment, at a glance.

Payment milestones

  1. 10% deposit
    To start the project.
  2. 50% production payment

Allow time for each stage

Measurement, design, production and shipping are separate stages. Review time, project complexity, site readiness and special parts can affect the overall schedule.

Discuss your renovation dates with our team so the cabinetry plan can be coordinated with your home.

WD means working days. Stage durations are planning estimates; confirm your project schedule with us.

Questions before you begin

What should I bring to the first consultation?

Bring your floor plan, room photos, design references, approximate budget and a list of storage needs. Provide appliance dimensions during the 3D design stage.

How are 3D renderings different from technical drawings?

3D renderings help you review the visual layout and finishes. Technical drawings document dimensions and construction details for factory production.

When does production begin?

Production begins after you confirm the final quotation and make the 50% production payment, following the design and technical drawing stages.

Can I plan cabinetry for more than one room?

Yes. Discuss kitchens, wardrobes, living room storage and dining cabinetry with our team so the design can be considered across your home.
