Direct Answer
To quote your cabinet project, Cabo Cabinet Group needs a complete specification package: cabinet box construction preference (framed or frameless, RTA or assembled), door style and finish selection, hardware choices, unit count, delivery location, and target project timeline. The more complete your spec, the faster and more accurate the quote. For multifamily projects running 6 to 40 cabinets per unit, provide your typical unit layouts and the total number of units. For custom builders working multiple projects, specify whether you need per unit pricing or total project pricing.
A complete package lets Cabo price accurately within days, not weeks. Incomplete specs mean back and forth that delays your quote and pushes out your project schedule. The 700,000 square foot factory in Mexico runs on precision: confirmed specs move directly into production scheduling, and that 30 day production clock starts only when every detail is locked.
Why It Matters
Cabinet pricing is not one size fits all. A shaker door in painted white costs differently than a slab door in stained walnut. Soft close hardware adds cost over standard. Assembled cabinets ship differently than RTA, affecting freight. Without complete specs, any quote is a guess, and guesses create change orders, budget overruns, and missed delivery windows.
For developers and contractors managing tight schedules, an incomplete spec adds two to three weeks of lead time. You ask for a quote with partial information, Cabo requests clarification, you gather details, Cabo re quotes. That cycle eats the buffer in a five week total timeline from confirmed spec to cabinets on site. Complete specs on first submission mean Cabo can confirm pricing, lock in a production slot, and keep your project moving.
How It Works
Start with box construction. Framed or frameless changes the build process and the price. RTA or assembled changes how the cabinets ship and install. Cabo builds both, but the factory needs to know which you are specifying.
Select door style and finish. Cabo offers shaker, slim shaker, slab, and thermofoil doors in painted or stained finishes. Provide finish samples or color codes if you have a specific match requirement. Standard finishes quote faster than custom color matching.
Specify hardware. Soft close hinges and drawer glides are available and affect per unit cost. Confirm whether you want Cabo to supply hardware or if you are providing it separately.
Provide unit count and layouts. For multifamily, that means how many units in the building or phase, and whether layouts vary or repeat. A 200 unit building with three floor plans quotes differently than 200 units with 15 variations. Cabo's capacity runs about 8,000 apartment units of cabinetry per month, roughly 200 shipping containers, so volume affects scheduling and potentially pricing for National Accounts programs.
Include delivery location. Cabo ships by land from Mexico to US job sites in under seven days once cabinets leave the factory. Distance affects freight cost. A site in Texas prices differently than one in Maine.
What to Ask For
Request a detailed line item quote, not a lump sum number. You need to see box cost, door cost, hardware, and freight separately. That breakdown lets you adjust specs if the total comes in over budget. Maybe you switch from assembled to RTA to save on shipping, or choose a different door style to hit your price point.
Ask about lead time confirmation in the quote. Cabo runs about 30 days production after spec confirmation, then under seven days delivery. If your project timeline is tight, confirm the factory has capacity to meet your window. The 700,000 square foot facility handles high volume, but production slots fill during peak building seasons.
For ongoing work, ask about National Accounts pricing. Builders and developers working multiple projects or repeat unit types over the year get structured pricing and priority scheduling. That relationship turns quoting from a one time transaction into a streamlined process: Cabo already knows your specs, your finish preferences, your delivery requirements.
Confirm compliance documentation needs upfront. Cabo is CARB Phase 2 and TSCA Title VI compliant. If your project or jurisdiction requires specific certifications or testing documentation, include that in your initial request so the quote reflects any additional paperwork or material sourcing.
