On multifamily projects, the order of cabinets and flooring is a sequencing decision that should be made early, not on install day.

Cabinets installed first
✔ Less flooring material, since it stops at the cabinets
✔ No risk of damaging new flooring during cabinet install
⚠ Cabinet and counter heights must account for the finished floor height
⚠ Dishwasher openings need to be checked against the final floor

Flooring installed first
✔ A continuous floor under the cabinets
✔ Easier future cabinet replacement during renovations
⚠ More flooring material and more floor protection needed
⚠ Floating floors generally shouldn't be pinned down by cabinets

Neither approach is right for every project. What matters is that the decision is made early and communicated clearly to the cabinet, flooring, countertop, and appliance teams.

At KCI, we coordinate cabinet heights and details with the builder's install sequence, so the kitchen works with the finished floor.

Wall cabinets depend on something you'll never see once the kitchen is finished: blocking.

Blocking gives wall cabinets solid backing in the framing. If it's missing or in the wrong place, installers may have to open up finished drywall, which means patching, repainting, and delays.

Before drywall goes up, builders should confirm:

✔ Blocking locations match the latest cabinet elevations
✔ Heights account for upper cabinets, hoods, and microwave cabinets
✔ Tall cabinets have backing where they need to be secured
✔ Every unit type is checked, including mirrored units
✔ A quick walk of the units is done before walls close

It's a small step during framing that prevents one of the most frustrating fixes during installation.

At KCI, we help builders coordinate cabinet elevations early so framing crews know where support is needed before the walls close.

On a multifamily project, the mock-up unit isn't just a sample. It's a test run for every kitchen that follows.

When a cabinet layout is about to be repeated across hundreds of units, the mock-up is where builders can confirm:

✔ Cabinets fit the actual framed and finished conditions
✔ Appliances, plumbing, and electrical line up as planned
✔ Finishes and hardware match what the owner approved
✔ Installers understand the sequence and the time per unit
✔ Small issues get fixed once, not hundreds of times

An issue found in the mock-up costs one correction. The same issue found after production can cost a correction in every unit.

At KCI, we treat the mock-up unit as a key checkpoint. It helps builders confirm the details before the cabinet package moves into full production.

Get the first kitchen right, and every kitchen after it gets easier.

Every multifamily kitchen starts long before it reaches the jobsite. It starts on the factory floor.

This Manufacturing Day, we recognize the people behind every cabinet package KCI delivers. They cut, assemble, finish, check, and prepare cabinets for projects with hundreds of units.

Their work is what makes consistency possible:
✔ The same dimensions from the first unit to the last
✔ The same finish across every building
✔ Every package checked and prepared for the jobsite

KCI has been manufacturing cabinets since 1969, and our team's craftsmanship is still at the center of everything we build.

Thank you to the hands that build our cabinets and the builders who trust them in their projects.

Happy Manufacturing Day from KCI.

What happens before cabinets reach the jobsite matters just as much as what happens during installation.

At KCI, every multifamily cabinet package goes through a process designed to ensure it is checked, verified, organized, and protected before it leaves the factory.

From production checks to order verification and jobsite-ready packaging, every step is focused on helping builders receive the right cabinets, ready for the next phase of construction.

Because successful kitchens start long before installation.

When one cabinet design is repeated across hundreds of units, even a small mistake can become a project-wide problem.

That's why multifamily cabinetry demands precision at every stage—from specifications and production to delivery and installation.

At KCI, we focus on consistent dimensions, repeatable quality, and reliable cabinet packages so builders can move from the first unit to the last with confidence.

Because when you're building hundreds of kitchens, consistency isn't optional. It's essential.

Cabinet drawings are more than paperwork—they set the direction for what gets manufactured and installed.

Before approving a cabinet package, multifamily builders should verify:

✔ Dimensions match the latest plans
✔ Appliance openings match specifications
✔ Plumbing & electrical locations are coordinated
✔ Cabinet details match the approved selections
✔ Latest revision is being reviewed

A careful review upfront can help prevent avoidable issues once production begins.

At KCI, we understand the details behind multifamily cabinetry and help builders move from approved drawings to finished kitchens with confidence.

Review carefully. Build confidently.

Multifamily construction isn't one kitchen at a time - it's dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of kitchens working toward the same project goals.

That's why KCI focuses specifically on the needs of multifamily builders.

We understand the importance of:

• Consistent cabinet packages across every unit
• Scalable production for large developments
• Practical designs built for everyday apartment living
• Clear specifications that support construction teams
• Solutions designed for multifamily projects, not one-off residential jobs

Our goal isn't simply to provide cabinets. It's to understand how builders work and provide cabinetry that fits the way multifamily projects are actually built.

KCI - Built for Multifamily. Built for Builders.
