FROM VISION TO INSTALLATION
A process designed around
confidence.
Custom cabinetry is both a creative and technical undertaking. Our process gives each decision the attention it deserves while keeping scope, investment, and expectations clear.
You will always know what comes next, what is required, and when each investment is due.
Begin with a conversation
Share your space, approximate measurements or plans, existing photos, inspiration, timeline, and investment expectations. We'll discuss your goals and determine whether Albritton is the right fit.
Confirm the investment range
We review the initial information and provide a complimentary preliminary cabinetry range. This is not a final quote - it confirms that the envisioned scope and investment are aligned before detailed design begins.
Engage our design studio
Once the range feels right, a signed Design Services Agreement and nonrefundable design retainer reserves our time. Your retainer is credited in full toward cabinetry purchased within 120 days.
Measure & discover
We visit the site, verify dimensions and conditions, review appliances and architecture, and talk through how the space should look, feel, and function.
Develop the design
We create a considered package of plan views, elevations, cabinetry configurations, finish direction, and presentation-quality 3D renderings. Two coordinated revision rounds are included.
Approve every detail
We refine the design, specifications, scope, and final proposal. Before production, you approve the drawings, materials, hardware, finish, appliances, installation scope, and project contract.
Craft your cabinetry
With the production deposit received, our team completes technical engineering, material preparation, fabrication, finishing, and quality control.
Deliver & install
When your cabinetry is ready, we coordinate delivery and installation. Final payment is due at substantial completion, while any minor adjustments are documented and completed through our punch-list process.

PROFESSIONAL DESIGN DEVELOPMENT
Your project deserves
more than a quick
sketch.
Before fabrication begins, we invest in understanding the architecture, the way you live, and the details that make the space distinctly yours.
On-site consultation and field measurement
Plan view and detailed cabinetry elevations
Presentation-quality 3D renderings
Material, finish, and functional recommendations
Two coordinated revision rounds
Final cabinetry specifications and proposal
Detailed shop drawings, CNC files, cut lists, and manufacturing information remain Albritton production documents.
THE DEIGN RETAINER
A commitment to doing
the work well.
The Design Retainer begins the professional design phase. It is nonrefundable once work starts, then credited in full toward your cabinetry purchase when you proceed within 120 days.

Smaller projects and whole-home engagements may use a schedule tailored to their scope. Changes after approval require a signed chagne order and payment before additional work begins.
