When cabinetry is awarded, and who decides
Builtie times cabinetry from about 50% of the way through the build to about 70%, with the last realistic approach at about 80%. The builder or developer awards cabinetry, often with an interior designer or kitchen designer specifying it; on custom homes the owner decides.
Tap a stage. The highlighted stage is where cabinetry is typically awarded.
What to lead with: shop drawings, your production lead time and a proposed delivery date that fits the finishing schedule.
Running the pipeline
Cabinetry and Millwork work comes in waves that follow the permit record, so the pipeline that wins it starts from projects, not from a contact list. Track each project's stage, call the builder when it enters the window, and keep shop-drawing status, the production slot you hold and the delivery date against the finishing schedule in the record. CRM for cabinet and millwork shops covers what to look for in a CRM built around that.
