What Are Cabinet Takeoff & Estimating Services?
Cabinet takeoff and estimating services involve analyzing architectural drawings and construction plans to accurately determine the quantities and dimensions of cabinets needed for a project. These services are typically used during the pre-construction phase to prepare material estimates and assist in competitive bidding.
A cabinet takeoff generally includes:
- Types and sizes of all cabinets (base, wall, tall, custom)
- Counts and measurements based on floor plans, elevations, and details
- Optional items like panels, fillers, toe kicks, and crown molding
- Room-by-room or floor-by-floor breakdowns
By outsourcing cabinet takeoffs, contractors save valuable time and ensure greater accuracy. They also eliminate the risk of underestimating materials, especially on projects with multiple unit types or complex layouts.

FAQs about Cabinet Takeoff and Estimating Services
Do you provide cost estimation for cabinets?
We strictly focus on quantity takeoffs. That means we’ll tell you exactly how many of each cabinet type and size you need. We don’t provide cost estimates for materials, labor, or installation.
Do you include custom or non-standard cabinets in the takeoff?
Yes. If a drawing includes unusual sizes, we make educated assumptions and clearly list them in your report.
What if my plans are hand-drawn or low-quality?
We can usually work with scanned sketches or lower-resolution files. If not, we’ll let you know right away.
Can you estimate hardware or accessories as well?
We can include counts for visible components like handles or hinges. Just be sure they’re shown in the drawings.
Can I request takeoffs by floor, area, or cabinet type?
Absolutely. We can customize your takeoff output based on how you prefer to review or present it—by floor level, area, cabinet groupings, or even construction phase.
Do you work with cabinet manufacturers too?
Yes. We support cabinet manufacturers, subcontractors, and general contractors alike. Our cabinet estimating services are flexible enough to fit a variety of projects.
