Kitchen & Wardrobe Cabinet Sourcing

Kitchen cabinets, wardrobes, vanities and joinery packages sourced from Foshan and Guangdong factories, inspected and shipped by full container.

What FBM Sourcing does for cabinets and joinery on a commercial project

Cabinet and wardrobe packages are the most drawing-intensive scope on an apartment, hotel or student-accommodation project: every unit is made to a room type, and a small error repeats across hundreds of rooms. FBM Sourcing manages the entire China procurement package for overseas construction projects, and for joinery that means we take your room schedules and elevations, match them to cabinet factories in the Foshan and Guangdong cluster that already build for export, coordinate shop drawings unit by unit, run a mock-up or sample unit for finish and hardware approval, inspect before shipment with our own FBM Sourcing QC team, and pack knocked-down or assembled to suit your installer.

Recent joinery scopes include hotel wardrobes and vanities for a Florida hotel, cabinet and storage units for a Florida school, and kitchen and wardrobe packages for apartment projects in Australia. All quotations, invoices and shipping documents are issued by FBM Sourcing — you deal with us, and we carry the responsibility. For suppliers you nominate, we charge a 5% commission; for products we source for you, we quote a direct price.

How We Manage Kitchen & Wardrobe Cabinet Sourcing

From room schedule to loaded container, one FBM Sourcing team coordinates the drawings, the factory, the inspection and the shipping.

01

Inquiry

Send your room schedules, elevations, finish specification and destination country. We confirm the cabinet construction, board standard and a sourcing plan.

02

Factory & Product Sourcing

We shortlist cabinet factories with export records to your market, compare carcass, door and hardware options, and organise a sample unit or mock-up for approval.

03

Production & QC

We coordinate unit-by-unit shop drawings, follow production, and inspect finished units — dimensions, finish, hardware, edge-banding and packing — before shipment.

04

Loading Container & Shipping

Units are packed knocked-down or assembled as agreed, labelled by room type, and consolidated with the rest of the project package. We always ship by full container.

Standards and test reports commonly requested for cabinet packages

Standard / approvalWhat it covers
CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI (USA)Formaldehyde emission limits for composite wood panels; factories supply certified board and mill certificates.
E1 / E0 (EU, Australia, Middle East)European formaldehyde classes referenced in most specifications outside North America.
EN 14749 / AS/NZS 4386Performance and safety requirements for domestic and kitchen storage furniture.
ANSI/KCMA A161.1 (USA)Kitchen cabinet performance testing referenced by US specifiers.
BS 5852 / CAL 117Where upholstered joinery elements (banquettes, headboards) are part of the same package.

Which standards apply depends on the destination country and the specification. FBM Sourcing confirms the required test reports with the factory before production and checks the documents during the pre-shipment inspection.

Frequently asked questions about kitchen & wardrobe cabinet sourcing

Do you build a sample unit before bulk production?

Yes, for most joinery packages. A sample or mock-up unit lets your design team approve finish, hardware and construction before the factory cuts hundreds of units. Site measurement before custom production is coordinated where the building is already at fit-out stage.

Do cabinets ship assembled or flat-packed?

Either. Hotel wardrobes and vanities usually ship assembled; apartment kitchens often ship knocked-down to save container space. We agree the format with your installer before production and pack accordingly.

Which board standards can you meet?

CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI for North America, E1/E0 for Europe, Australia and the Middle East. Board certificates come from the factory and are checked during inspection.

How are cabinets inspected before shipment?

Our own FBM Sourcing QC team inspects at the factory before shipment: dimensions against the drawings, finish and colour against the approved sample, edge-banding, hardware function, and packing. You receive photos and a report before loading.

How does FBM Sourcing charge for a cabinet package?

For suppliers you nominate, we charge a 5% commission; for products we source for you, we quote a direct price. All quotations, invoices and shipping documents are issued by FBM Sourcing.

Before You Place an Order

What should our cabinet sourcing brief include?

Room-by-room cabinet schedule or shop drawings, carcass material and finish (melamine, lacquer, veneer), hardware brand preference if any, and the formaldehyde emission standard your market requires (CARB Phase 2, E1, TSCA Title VI). FBM Sourcing checks factory tolerances against your drawings before quoting.

What should we confirm about a cabinet factory before placing an order?

FBM Sourcing confirms the factory’s panel supplier holds current emission-standard certificates, checks a physical finish sample against the specified colour and sheen, and verifies carcass dimensions against your drawings before bulk production starts.
