Who this is for

Good fit

  • New homeowners who need practical built-in storage before moving in
  • Families who want cabinets planned around daily cooking, cleaning and storage habits
  • Condo and landed house owners who need measured, site-fit carpentry
  • Homeowners who already found a cabinet style online and want a factory team to recreate it for their actual space

May not be the right fit

  • Projects that only need loose furniture
  • Owners looking for the cheapest possible board without considering durability
  • Jobs where site measurements cannot be confirmed before fabrication

Materials and workmanship

Common material choices

  • Plywood
  • Melamine E0 board
  • Laminate or HPL surface
  • PVC edging
  • Cabinet hardware and accessories

Workmanship details to check

  • Site measurement before production
  • Carcass planning based on load and moisture exposure
  • Door gap alignment, hinge positioning and clean edge finishing
  • Final edge sanding and silicone finishing where needed for cleaner closing lines

Process and timing

Typical process

  • Requirement discussion and rough budget range
  • Site measurement and layout confirmation
  • Material and finishing selection
  • Production, delivery, installation and final checking

What affects timeline

  • Number of cabinet zones
  • Complexity of corners, tall units and special fittings
  • Material availability and condo management access

What affects pricing

Main cost drivers

  • Material type and board grade. Plywood and Melamine E0 have different cost levels, and even similar board types can vary by grade and supplier.
  • Project quantity and cabinet complexity. Larger scope, taller units, special compartments and more finishing work increase labour and production time.
  • Workmanship method. Proper factory carpentry includes better closing details, edge finishing, sanding and silicone work where needed.
  • Hardware such as hinges, drawer runners, pull-out baskets and accessories.
  • Countertop, backsplash, paint and electrical coordination when included in the scope.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Choosing cabinet depth without checking appliance size
  • Using weak edging in wet or high-use areas
  • Forgetting switch, socket and plumbing positions
  • Comparing quotations without matching material specifications
  • Only looking at the final design image without checking board grade, hardware, finishing method and installation responsibility
  • Choosing an informal carpenter without clear factory support, quotation structure or after-sales responsibility

All FAQs

How long does custom cabinet work usually take?

Most residential cabinet projects take about 3 to 6 weeks after final measurement, depending on project size, material choice and installation access.

Is plywood always better than melamine board?

Not always. Plywood is usually stronger and more moisture tolerant, while melamine can be cost-effective for dry areas when the design and edging are done properly.

Can Sivenzo work with condo management rules?

Yes. Scheduling should account for renovation permits, lift booking, working hours and delivery rules.

Can SIVENZO recreate cabinet designs from XiaoHongShu or reference photos?

Yes. Homeowners can send reference photos or XiaoHongShu cabinet designs. SIVENZO can adapt the design based on actual measurements, site condition, material choice and practical usage.

What affects custom cabinet price the most?

The three biggest factors are material choice, project quantity and workmanship method. Board grade, cabinet complexity, hardware, finishing details and installation scope can make two similar-looking quotations very different.

Why can SIVENZO pricing be more cost-effective than some design companies?

SIVENZO uses its own factory and breaks cabinet pricing into practical cost parts such as board material, carpentry labour, hardware, paint, paint labour and installation scope. This can reduce extra layers compared with separately hiring designers and contractors, depending on project scope.
