Inside the template

## A working document, ready to adapt.

Start with the space and the problem you want the cabinetry to solve. Approximate measurements help an initial conversation; final dimensions belong to the site survey.

**What each field means**

**Space and location**: Room, property location and whether the work is a renovation or new build.

**Dimensions and constraints**: Approximate space, openings, utilities and restrictions that need a survey.

**Storage priorities**: What must fit and what is not working in the current space.

**Materials and references**: Preferred finish and reference images you have permission to share.

**Budget and scope**: Budget range, installation expectations and work by other trades.

**Timing and next step**: Desired completion window, site readiness and the person approving decisions.

**Filled example**

**Space and location**: Built-in dining storage · Minneapolis home renovation

**Dimensions and constraints**: Approx. 3.2 m wall; radiator and outlet positions to survey

**Storage priorities**: Concealed tableware storage with a small display shelf

**Materials and references**: Light oak appearance; samples and finish to agree

**Budget and scope**: Planning range $12,000–$18,000; cabinetry and installation; electrical work separate

**Timing and next step**: Target spring 2027; homeowner requests a consultation and measured survey

**How to use this worksheet**

1.  Describe the room and your most important storage need.
2.  Add rough measurements with units; mark anything not yet measured.
3.  Discuss the budget and exclusions before developing detailed drawings.
4.  Agree a measured survey, drawings and material approval before manufacture.

The example budget is fictional, not a market estimate or a 1968 Labs quote. This brief does not replace a measured survey or approved construction drawings.
