Frequently Asked Questions
What is Cabinetry estimating software?
It takes your cabinetry quantities and builds a priced estimate — material, labor, equipment, overhead, and profit — line by line, with your local rates instead of generic national averages.
How does Cabinetry estimating work in CyanBuild?
Takeoff produces quantities, which flow directly into the estimate. You price each line with your $45-85/hr rate and material costs, add overhead and profit, and export a defensible bid.
Can I use my own Cabinetry cost data?
Yes. Use the built-in reference ranges as a starting point, then override with your vendor quotes and historical job costs — your own data is always more accurate than national averages.
What Cabinetry costs should I budget?
Typical ranges: $150-400/LF for stock cabinetry; $400-1,000/LF for custom cabinetry; $15-60/EA for hardware. Labor runs about $45-85/hr (installers).
Does the estimate flow into billing?
Yes — your CyanBuild estimate becomes your Schedule of Values, which feeds AIA G702/G703 pay applications, so your estimate and billing stay in sync.
