How Does Scaftra Manage Cabinet Installs?

How do you run cabinet work room by room from measure through install?

Scaftra runs the cabinet trade per room through field measure, delivery verification, and install, with each room's phase advancing only as the physical work happens.

The problem it solves

Cabinet installers know rooms ship together: a kitchen's boxes arrive as a set, get checked against the order, and get set as a unit. The cabinet workflow is a physical sequence per room: measure the finished-framed room, order against the measure, verify the delivery (all boxes accounted for, hardware present, no packaging damage), then set the cabinets. Run loosely, a crew shows up to set boxes that were never delivered.

Why it matters

Each room's cabinet work is a gated sequence, and seeing where each room sits is what keeps a multi-room job moving without crews standing in empty rooms. A delivery that was never verified, or an install recorded before delivery, is a state the jobsite cannot be in. Tracking the cabinet trade per room, with delivery verification as a real step, is how the schedule reflects reality.

Common mistakes

Try
Setting boxes before verifying the delivery
Reality
Skipping the delivery check means a damaged or short shipment is discovered with the crew already on site.
Try
Tracking cabinet status at the project level
Reality
Cabinet work is per room; a single project status hides which rooms are actually ready to set.
Try
Installing off a bid instead of the measure
Reality
Cabinets are fabricated to the field measure; building off the bid invites a misfit.
Try
Skipping delivery verification entirely
Reality
Without a recorded delivery check, nobody knows whether all boxes and hardware arrived.

How it works

  1. Field measure the room
    Capture the as-built dimensions in the specific room before ordering.
  2. Order against the measure
    The cabinet order reflects measured reality so the boxes fit when they arrive.
  3. Verify the delivery
    Check all boxes accounted for, hardware present, and no packaging damage as a recorded step.
  4. Set the cabinets
    An install record drives the room forward to install started and then install complete.

How Scaftra does it

Scaftra runs the cabinet trade per room through the canonical sequence. The cabinet field measure advances its room to the measured phase on approval; the cabinet delivery record checks all boxes accounted for, hardware present, and no packaging damage; and the install record drives the room's phase from install started to install complete. Every record is scoped to a room that belongs to the project and bridges to the dispatch board, so the work is visible on the schedule. Cabinet trade writes flow through a controlled per-trade write path that proves company ownership and active project membership and sets the company from the validated context. This is built and live.

Scaftra tracks the cabinet trade room by room with delivery verification as a real gate, so crews only set boxes that arrived and were checked.

Key capabilities

  • Per-room cabinet workflow: Measure, order, deliver, and install are tracked per room, so each room's readiness is visible.
  • Delivery verification step: A recorded delivery check confirms all boxes, hardware, and no damage before the set.
  • Phase-driven install: The install record advances the room from install started to install complete.
  • Bridged to the schedule: Cabinet records bridge to the dispatch board, so the trade shows on the company schedule.

Benefits

  • Crews set boxes that were actually delivered and verified, not a shipment nobody checked.
  • Each room's cabinet position is visible, so a multi-room job keeps moving.
  • Cabinets are built off the field measure, so they fit when they arrive.
