Millwork and casework dealer software
A millwork or casework dealer sells somebody else's manufacturing: the line's list price, your multiplier, a GC's deadline and a crew on site. The part between the approved quote and the last payment — the purchase order, the boxes counted one by one, the install and the punch list — is what Cabinet Project runs.
Who this page is for, honestly
- A good fit: dealers and distributors reselling manufactured casework and architectural millwork — commercial casework lines, store fixtures, hospitality and multi-family cabinetry — quoted from a manufacturer's price list at a dealer multiplier and installed by your own crew or a subcontractor.
- Not the target: shops that fabricate the millwork themselves — shop drawings, CNC programs and panel optimization are out of scope — and trim or carpentry contractors selling labor only, since there is no drafting package for them to detail.

The parts that are the same job
A commercial casework package changes what is on the price list, not the workflow behind it. Your multiplier is a company setting — per company, per manufacturer or per line — and never reaches the customer's PDF or the portal: salespeople see selling prices, only people with the pricing permission see cost. A pallet of tall units arrives damaged the same way cabinet doors do, so the delivery check counts every box with photos and sends the claim to the distributor. The crew gets routes, the customer signs off on the phone, the punch list closes the job and the invoice syncs to QuickBooks Online.
What you will not find
- No millwork design or shop-drawing tool. The layout editor draws kitchens — walls, openings, appliances and cabinet SKUs — with plan, elevation and 3D. A casework job skips the drawing and is quoted straight from the loaded price list.
- No casework catalogs kept for you. You load your own manufacturers' price lists, or use the smaller public library when your line is there.
- No direct manufacturer ordering. The PO goes out by e-mail as PDF or CSV, the way most mills receive it.
- No CNC programs. The cutting-plan export belongs to drawn kitchen boxes; shops that machine their own panels need a fabrication tool.
One account, kitchens and commercial work
Plenty of dealers split the week between a residential kitchen and a casework package: jobs, customers and price lists live in the same company account either way. The residential side of the same workflow is on the pages for RTA cabinet dealers and kitchen showrooms, and the crew-only side on the page for cabinet installers, and the refacing side on the page for cabinet refacing.
Price
Per company, not per seat: Solo for one person at $59 a month, Team for three at $99, Shop for five, Crew for ten. Every paid plan has the whole workflow and a 14-day trial without a card, and the app runs in English, Spanish and Portuguese — which matters on a US install crew. The whole table is on the pricing section; if you are comparing with a general field-service tool, see Jobber next to Cabinet Project or QuoteIQ next to Cabinet Project.
Questions
Is there a millwork design or shop-drawing tool inside?
No. The layout editor draws kitchens: walls, openings, appliances and cabinet SKUs like B24 and W3030. A casework job is quoted from the price list you load — SKU lines, labor lines and tax — without a room drawing.
Can it quote a commercial casework package?
Load the manufacturer's price list from the PDF, a photo of the page or a CSV, set your multiplier per manufacturer or per line, and quote SKU, labor and per-unit lines. The order goes out as a PO in PDF or CSV.
Does the GC or the customer see my cost?
No. Your multiplier and cost never reach the customer's PDF or the portal: salespeople see selling prices, and only people with the pricing permission see cost.
Our installers speak Spanish. Do they get their own app?
The same app runs in English, Spanish and Portuguese on phone, tablet and desktop, on every plan.
