Made To Measure | Project Guide

Short answer: A stainless steel cabinet project should be specified from the room, moisture and heat exposure, storage use, appliance clearances, grade, sheet thickness, finish, hardware and installation scope. A material name alone is not a complete specification.

The most useful comparison is specific enough to check on a drawing, sample or quotation. This article addresses made to measure for a Singapore project and separates general guidance from decisions that require a measured site and approved drawings.

Specify the cabinet system

List the cabinet body, doors, shelves, plinth, backs, edge details, fasteners, hinges, runners, handles and worktop interfaces. State where stainless steel is required and where another approved material is acceptable.

Coordinate services and appliances

Put the sink, hob, hood, dishwasher, refrigerator, sockets, plumbing and ventilation on the same drawing. Confirm clearances and access panels before fabrication, especially where heat or water reaches the cabinet.

Compare quotations fairly

Ask for the grade, thickness, finish, weld treatment, hardware schedule, delivery route, protection, installation and warranty in writing. A lower headline price may omit measurement, trim, unloading or adjustments.

Project checklist

1. Provide the floor plan or opening schedule, clear site photos, dimensions and target date.
2. List appliances, services, storage needs, access limits and building-management requirements.
3. Request samples, dimensioned drawings, a line-by-line quotation and written exclusions.
4. Confirm who measures, manufactures, packs, delivers, installs, protects and adjusts the work.
5. Keep the approved finish, drawing revision, care instructions and handover record.

FAQ: made to measure

Can one photo or a catalogue price confirm the answer?

Usually not. Photos help with an initial review, but measurements, services, access, materials, hardware and installation responsibilities are needed for a dependable decision.

What should I compare between suppliers?

Compare the same dimensions, quantities, specification, finish, hardware, delivery and installation scope. Ask each supplier to state exclusions and the process for changes or defects.

What is the next step?

Send the drawings, photos, site location, preferred finish and target date through the ForgeWin contact page for a project-specific review.
