Direct Answer
Cabo Cabinet Group coordinates phased cabinet deliveries directly to your construction schedule, with under 7 day transit from Mexico to US job sites and staged shipments by building, floor, or unit block. For a 300-unit project across three buildings, you receive cabinets building by building rather than absorbing all inventory at once, eliminating on-site storage costs and damage risk.
Why It Matters
Multi-building construction projects run on tight sequencing. Framing, mechanical rough-in, drywall, and finish work happen on a rolling basis across buildings that may be months apart in schedule. Cabinet delivery that ignores that sequence creates two problems: product sitting in weather-exposed site conditions, and capital tied up in inventory you cannot install yet.
The standard Asian import model forces the issue. When lead times run 6 to 10 weeks, procurement teams must order everything upfront to avoid mid-project delays. That decision pushes 100 percent of the cabinet cost forward while the last building may still be two seasons from finish work. Carrying that inventory is expensive and risky.
An under 7 day transit time from a Mexico manufacturer changes the math entirely. You can release purchase orders in stages, timed to each building's installation window, and still have product on-site when your installers arrive.
How It Works
At Cabo Cabinet Group, phased delivery is built into the procurement process from the first conversation. The sequence looks like this:
Step 1: Master Order, Phased Release
A master order is placed covering all buildings and unit types. This locks pricing, spec, and lead time across the full project. Individual releases are then scheduled against your construction calendar, building by building or floor by floor.
Step 2: Staged Production
Production at Cabo's factory in Mexico runs to a rolling schedule tied to your release dates. Cabinet runs for Building 1 ship when Building 1 reaches the installation window. Buildings 2 and 3 follow on your timeline, not on a fixed factory schedule.
Step 3: Fast Delivery Window
From Cabo's factory in Mexico, transit to Arizona, Texas, and California job sites is under 7 days. That window is short enough to release shipments close to the installation date rather than weeks in advance, keeping inventory off your site until it is needed.
Step 4: Installer-Ready Packaging
Each shipment is labeled by unit type and floor, so installers can pull the right boxes without sorting through mixed inventory. This matters on a large site where multiple crews may be working different sections simultaneously.
What to Look For
When evaluating a cabinet supplier for a multi-building project, ask these specific questions before committing:
Does the supplier offer a master order with phased releases, or do they require separate purchase orders for each shipment? Separate POs typically mean separate pricing negotiations and no guarantee of spec consistency across buildings.
What is the actual transit time from factory to job site, not port to port? Cabo Cabinet Group quotes under 7 day transit to most Southwest and Western US markets, which is verifiable against shipping records.
Can the supplier hold finished product in a staging facility if your schedule slips? Ask what the holding cost is and what the maximum holding period is before fees apply.
Is the product CARB II and TSCA compliant across the entire line? On multi-building government-adjacent or publicly financed projects, compliance documentation may be required for each building permit.
FAQ
What is the minimum project size for phased delivery coordination?
Cabo Cabinet Group works with developers on projects from 50 units upward. At that scale, phased delivery planning is worth the coordination effort. Smaller projects typically receive single-shipment delivery.
Can phased deliveries accommodate schedule changes mid-project?
Yes. Because transit time from Cabo's factory in Mexico is under 7 days, release dates can shift with reasonable notice. Contact your Cabo project coordinator at least 2 weeks before a scheduled release to adjust timing without production disruption.
Does phasing affect the per-unit price?
Master order pricing is locked at the time the full project order is placed, regardless of how many shipments are released. Per-unit cost does not increase because of phasing.
How is product labeled for multi-building delivery?
Each carton is labeled with building number, floor, unit number, and cabinet position. Packing lists are provided digitally before each shipment so the site super can plan receiving logistics in advance.
Are all Cabo Cabinet Group products available for phased delivery programs?
The full product line, including framed and frameless cabinets, thermofoil, shaker, and slab doors, TFL finishes, and coordinating hardware, is available under phased delivery agreements. Visit cabocabinetgroup.com for spec sheets and lead time estimates by product line.
