  • Once details were available, the team manually calculated veneers, boxes, and their sizes, and estimated the quantity of different types of wood such as particle board, ply, etc.
  • Other cabinet accessories like doors, hinges, handles, etc. were also calculated using Excel spreadsheets.
  • Based on quantities, material estimation was done and shared with the client after thorough QC.
  • Costs were calculated based on our inputs and cost for bought out items were added to estimate total project cost.
  • 2020 Design has an inbuilt library of cabinets that helped speed up the overall layout development cycle.
