Start by describing where the cabinet will live. A bedroom, a bathroom and a sheltered outdoor area have different conditions. Discuss the metal grade, coating system, hardware and maintenance expectations with the team, rather than choosing on colour alone.

A finish sample is especially helpful alongside the actual floor, wall and worktop. Look at it in daylight and under the lighting you use in the evening. Confirm an approved physical sample before production, because a photograph or a screen cannot provide an exact colour reference.

For an initial enquiry, send a room photo or mood reference, your preferred colours and the intended location. We can use these details to discuss a coherent material and finish direction for your project.

A simple annotated sketch can help the conversation move forward. Include wall widths, ceiling height and any beams, pipes or sockets. Note the measurements that still need checking on site, and identify the person responsible for confirming final dimensions.

Next, agree the internal arrangement, handles or opening method, and the material and colour reference. Where sampling is needed, use it to review proportions, touch points and the agreed hardware before confirming a larger order.

Send the cabinet type, approximate dimensions, quantity and delivery city with your enquiry. Drawings, specifications, pricing and the delivery plan can then be discussed together; final production and lead time follow the confirmed order details.

Discuss which dimensions and functions need checking against the approved drawing or sample. Visible surfaces, edge treatment and hardware placement should be included where relevant. Any project-specific checks or inspection reports need to be agreed with the order.

Packing deserves the same attention. Large panels, corners and finished surfaces need suitable protection, while loose hardware should be identified and kept with the relevant components. Assembly format, handling conditions and the transport route help determine the packing approach.

Before arranging delivery, confirm the receiving address, access restrictions, carton labels and packing list. Share any site-specific requirements early so that the cabinet and its delivery plan can be considered together.
