What to expect from the first call to final installation
Every project follows the same sequence: measure, plan, cut, assemble, install. You know what happens at each step, what you need to provide, and where the timeline can flex.
We visit your space, take wall and ceiling dimensions, and note plumbing, electrical points, and window reveals. You get a 3D layout plan with cabinet runs, door swings, and clearance zones before any material is ordered.
Choose between plywood, MDF, or solid wood for carcasses and facades. We walk through edge banding options, soft-close hinges, pull-out organizers, and finish samples so the final unit matches your interior rather than the other way around.
Panels are cut on our CNC router with tolerances held to under a millimeter. Edges are banded in the same pass, so the finished part is ready for assembly without extra sanding or filling.
Cabinet boxes are joined, hinges are set, and drawers are aligned in the workshop before delivery. This cuts on-site fitting time and catches alignment issues while adjustments are still easy.
Units arrive flat-packed or pre-assembled depending on access. Our team installs, levels, and secures each cabinet, then checks door gaps, drawer slides, and soft-close action before handing over the space.
You go through every drawer and door with us. We adjust hinges, tighten hardware, and note any touch-up needed on edges or finishes. The project is closed only when you are satisfied with the fit and function.

Getting started with XCA Cabinetry
A clear sequence of what happens after you reach out, so you know what to expect at each stage of your kitchen or wardrobe project.
Send us a few photos of the room, the wall measurements you have, and any reference images that match the style you like. We use this to prepare a rough layout before the first meeting, so the consultation starts with something concrete rather than a blank page.
We sit down with your floor plan and discuss how you actually use the kitchen or wardrobe. This is where we talk about drawer sizes, appliance placement, corner access, and the kind of storage that will make daily life easier. No obligation, no pressure to decide on the spot.
Once the layout feels right, we walk through plywood, MDF, and solid wood options, plus edge banding and finish choices. We also review hinges, pull-out systems, and soft-close mechanisms so you understand how each component affects the final cost and durability.
You receive a full quote with itemized costs for materials, CNC cutting, edge banding, hardware, and installation. Alongside it, we provide 3D layout drawings so you can see the cabinet fronts, internal shelves, and drawer configurations before anything is cut.
After you approve the drawings and quote, we move to the workshop. Panels are precision-cut on the CNC machine, edges are banded, and hardware is fitted. We keep you updated on progress and flag any material or dimension issues before they become problems on site.
The final stage is installation. Our team brings the fabricated units to your place, assembles them, and fixes them in position. We check alignment, test every drawer and hinge, and make small adjustments on the spot so everything works smoothly from day one.
