Whole-House Cabinetry for Global Projects: What the VSME Workflow Covers

Short answer: a whole-house cabinetry order from VSME covers the fitted joinery for every room you choose — kitchen, wardrobes and walk-in closets, bathroom vanities, laundry, TV and living-room units, wall panelling and concealed doors — designed together, made in one factory, inspected together and shipped in one consignment. A typical whole-house package costs USD 10,000–30,000 FOB, and production takes about 45–55 days after payments reach 50% of the order value.

The main reason to order the house as one project is consistency: the same board, finish, colour and handle in every room, and one set of drawings that your installer can follow. The second reason is cost: drawings, packing and shipping are shared across more product. This page explains what is included, how the project runs, and what still has to be arranged locally.

What a whole-house order can include

You choose the rooms. Many buyers start with the kitchen and the main bedrooms and add the rest once they see the drawings and the quote.

How the project runs

1. Brief. Send floor plans or room measurements, a list of rooms, appliance models, and photos or references for the style you like. Rough sketches are fine to start.
2. Layout and quote. Our designers propose layouts and 3D views room by room and prepare an itemised quotation, so you can see what each room costs and decide what to keep.
3. Finishes and samples. You approve the door finish, carcass board, worktop and hardware for the whole house, with physical samples where needed.
4. Shop drawings. Detailed drawings for every room, showing dimensions, openings, hardware positions and appliance cut-outs. Production starts only after you sign them off.
5. Production: about 45–55 days after payments reach 50% of the order value. All rooms are made together, trial-assembled and inspected. You can ask for photo updates or send an inspector before the balance payment.
6. Packing and shipping. Modules and fittings are grouped and protectively packed, export documents prepared and the container loaded at Nansha, Guangzhou.
7. Installation. Your local installer fits the cabinets using the approved drawings and the packing list.

What it costs

A complete custom kitchen typically costs USD 3,000–8,000 FOB, and a whole-house package USD 10,000–30,000 FOB. Where you land depends on the number of rooms, the door finish, the board grade and the internal fittings. The minimum order is USD 5,000, so a kitchen plus wardrobes or vanities usually qualifies. Full details are in our price guide, and our room-by-room package value test shows how to judge whether bundling actually saves money for your home.

What is arranged locally

• Ocean freight, insurance and import duty (unless agreed otherwise in the quote)
• Delivery from the port to the site
• Installation, worktop fitting, plumbing and electrical connections by local trades
• Any building work, wall repairs or demolition

For U.S. buyers, check the import duty on wooden cabinets first: see importing custom cabinets from China to the U.S.

Frequently asked questions

Is it better to buy the whole house from one factory?

It is usually easier to match finishes and coordinate drawings, and shared shipping lowers the cost per room. It is not always cheapest for every item; our comparison of one-stop suppliers and specialist factories explains the trade-offs.

Can I order some rooms now and others later?

Yes. Keep the approved finish codes and drawings, and we can match them for a later order. Natural materials such as wood veneer can vary slightly between batches, so order rooms that sit side by side together where possible.

Do you work with my designer or architect?

Yes. We can work from their drawings and send our shop drawings back for their review before production.
