In custom cabinetry and built-in furniture design, accuracy from the very first step prevents costly errors and ensures a perfect fit. This guide details the complete workflow for a compact wardrobe project — from interpreting a detailed site survey to creating a fully parametric 3D model and production-ready drawings — using industry-standard practices favored by professional cabinet makers and joiners.

A new audio-video shelving unit project is underway. This video shows the initial concept, including considerations for veneer, storage of equipment like speakers and amplifiers, and the design of sliding doors with weight balancing mechanisms. The focus is on modular assembly for easy site installation.

Discover the real-world custom wardrobe design process in CAD, including site surveys with laser measurements, multiple revisions, 3D modeling, and detailed fabrication drawings for built-in storage solutions.
