Trade Professionals

A cabinetry partner that works from your drawings.

We collaborate with interior designers, architects, remodelers, and custom builders across Austin and Central Texas. The Studio is best suited to focused small-to-medium custom cabinetry scopes, and to select larger packages where direct involvement provides value. Your design leads; we make it buildable, documented, and installed well.

Who we serve

Interior design studios

Cabinetry detailed to your drawings, finish palette, and hardware schedule.

Residential architects

Cabinetry that holds the architectural language of the house.

Remodelers

Existing conditions field-verified before anything is cut.

Custom builders

One accountable point of contact for the cabinetry scope.

Austin, Texas is our home base. We also take projects, case by case, in surrounding Central Texas communities including Round Rock, Hutto, Pflugerville, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Lakeway, Bee Cave, and nearby areas.

How collaboration works

We respect the original design intent. Where something can't be built as drawn, we say so early and propose an option that keeps the intent intact.

  • Constructability review

    We read the set, flag conflicts early, and list what needs a decision before pricing.

  • Design development

    Proportions, joinery, and construction logic developed around your intent.

  • Field verification

    On-site measurement so units fit the architecture as built.

  • Cabinet Vision approval drawings

    Dimensioned submittals for markup and written approval before fabrication.

  • Material & hardware coordination

    Species, panels, hinges, and slides coordinated against your specification.

  • Integrated detail coordination

    Lighting, power, AV, and ventilation planned with your electrical and low-voltage trades.

  • Fabrication & installation

    Owner-led through fabrication and installation, with the person who reviewed your drawings accountable for the result.

  • Direct communication

    Questions and revisions move between your team and the studio, not through a call center.

The drawing review loop

Cabinetry is documented in Cabinet Vision before fabrication, so your team reviews a real set — dimensions, proportions, reveals, materials, hardware intent, and critical clearances — while changes are still inexpensive.

  1. 01

    Plans and specifications received

    Plans, elevations, finish schedules, and equipment specs — partial sets are fine to start.

  2. 02

    Cabinet Vision shop drawings developed

    Plans, elevations, dimensions, door and drawer layouts, reveals, fillers, finished panels, clearances, and hardware intent.

  3. 03

    Your team marks up the set

    Reviewed against the design intent and the rest of the package.

  4. 04

    Revisions incorporated

    Comments resolved and the set reissued until the drawings match expectations.

  5. 05

    Written approval

    Approval documented in writing with confirmed materials, hardware, schedule, and pricing.

  6. 06

    Fabrication

    Material is cut against the approved set — not against a shop assumption.

Approval drawings communicate cabinetry design intent. They are not architectural, structural, electrical, plumbing, or engineering documents, and field conditions and final trade specifications still need to be verified by the responsible parties.

Specification resources

Six references written for the decisions you make on our behalf.

  • Construction Methods

    Face-frame full overlay, flush inset, beaded inset, and frameless cabinetry compared — with the coordination each method actually requires.

  • Door & Front Styles

    Slab, Shaker, slim-rail Shaker, beaded, fluted and reeded, kerf-line detail, glass and mesh inserts, and integrated-pull expressions.

  • Wood Species

    White oak, walnut, maple, alder, poplar, paint-grade MDF/HDF, and veneers — variation, matching, and sample approval explained.

  • Decorative Surfaces

    HPL, TFL, acrylic and high-gloss, matte and textured panels, and metal or mesh inserts — with EGGER, ALVIC and Shinnoki, Querkus, Nuxe and Astrata product families as examples.

  • Hardware & Interior Function

    Hinges, drawer runners, lift and pocket-door systems, dovetail drawer boxes, and interior organization — with Blum, Hettich, Salice, Häfele, Rev-A-Shelf and Richelieu as example sources.

  • Innovation & Integrated Technology

    Integrated lighting, concealed power and AV routes, transformable cabinetry, and serviceability planned into the drawing set.

Send what you have

Partial information is okay. A first review works from whatever exists today.

  • Plans and elevations, or sketches if that's where the project is
  • Appliance, sink, plumbing, and equipment specs where relevant
  • Reference images showing the direction you're after
  • Material and finish direction, including paint-grade vs. wood
  • Project location
  • Target installation window
  • Known budget range

Scope, pricing, and schedule are confirmed after review — not from a first email.

Why the Studio fits focused custom scopes

We're built around attention: a limited number of projects at a time, an owner directly involved in the drawings and the decisions, and documentation reviewed and approved in writing before anything is cut.

What we return

What comes back to your team, in roughly the order it arrives.

  • Scope questions and RFIs

    The specific items that need an answer before anything can be priced or drawn accurately.

  • Buildability review

    Where the set can be built as drawn, and where a detail needs an alternative that keeps the intent.

  • Preliminary pricing approach

    How the scope would be priced and what still has to be resolved before numbers are confirmed.

  • Cabinet Vision approval drawings

    Developed once the project is engaged — dimensions, layouts, reveals, clearances, and hardware intent.

  • Markup and revision loop

    Your team marks up the set, comments are resolved, and the set is reissued until it matches expectations.

  • Material and hardware coordination

    Species, panels, hinges, runners, and mechanisms coordinated against your specification and current supplier information.

  • Written approval before fabrication

    Approval documented in writing, with confirmed materials, hardware, schedule, and pricing, before material is cut.

  • Production and installation coordination

    Scheduling, site coordination, and the final fit handled with your team and the other trades.
