We've built two extensive databases...one for residential cabinetry and one for commerical casework.  Both pre-built databases contain a comprehensive set of cabinetry and casework  for quickly estimating jobs. We’ve meticulously built all of the underlying library Items, sub-assemblies, assemblies, and job specification sheet definitions necessary for a sophisticated and powerful estimating system. Moreover, we’ve designed each database to use the very best practices our software offers.  

We’ve followed AWI (Architectural Woodwork Institute) quality standards for Premium and Custom grade, and since our databases focus on residential cabinetry and commercial casework, and cabinets and casework lend itself to a parametric and job specification style of estimating, we’ve designed each database to be parametric and enabled it to be job spec ready.

When compared to other estimating techniques such as lineal feet estimating, parametric estimating is much more powerful and accurate. It gives estimators more details about budgeted labor and material because products are dynamically configured based on the actual material and labor required to build the product.

We provide a handbook that guides you through the steps of editing the database so it addresses your manufacturing costs, production techniques, and product mix. Our technical support staff can help you install the database, as well as, answer any questions you may have on its structure and how to go about customizing it.

The following shows a list of the product assemblies included in the pre-built casework database.
