What is a Cabinet Maker invoice?

A cabinet maker invoice covers work designing, building, and installing bespoke furniture and fitted cabinetry for homes and businesses. Cabinet makers work on kitchen cabinets, built-in wardrobes, bookcases, bathroom vanity units, media walls, office joinery, and specialist furniture. Unlike flat-pack furniture, bespoke cabinet work is commissioned specifically for a space, often involving detailed drawings, material selection, and a lead time of several weeks. Cabinet making invoices must clearly describe the items, dimensions, timber species or board material, and finish so that both parties have a record of the specification. Because bespoke work is made to order, a substantial deposit (50%) is standard before materials are purchased. Hardware (handles, hinges, drawer runners) is an important line item that clients sometimes underestimate.

How to invoice as a cabinet maker

Invoice 50% deposit on order confirmation, with the balance due on installation. Include a detailed specification list as part of the invoice so the client can confirm the order. For large fitted kitchen projects, an additional interim payment at 25% on cabinet completion before delivery is common. Attach hardware specification sheets for the client's records.

Frequently asked questions

Should I charge a 50% deposit for bespoke work?
Yes. Materials for bespoke work are purchased specifically for each commission. A 50% deposit covering materials is standard and protects you if the client cancels after manufacturing begins.
How do I handle changes to the specification after work starts?
Any change to agreed dimensions, materials, or finish after the manufacturing process starts should be costed and agreed in writing before implementation. Issue a variation invoice for the additional cost.
Should installation be included in the cabinet price?
You can include or separate it. For transparency, list installation as a separate line item so clients can see the making cost versus the fitting cost.
What warranty should I offer on bespoke joinery?
12 months on workmanship is standard. Note in the warranty that timber movement due to humidity is a natural characteristic and not a defect. Solid timber joinery expands and contracts seasonally.
How do I handle hardware costs?
Source and supply hardware at your trade price plus a 20-30% markup for procurement. List each hardware item with quantity on the invoice so clients can see the specification.
