Quoting workflow

A quote run that follows how cabinet shops actually work.

Joina starts where most cabinetmaking quotes start: a drawing set, a client scope, or a cabinet layout that needs to become a number without losing the details that protect margin.

01

Load the job scope

Start from client drawings, room notes, or a fresh cabinet build. Capture site details, inclusions, exclusions, finishes, appliance notes, and quote assumptions before pricing starts.

02

Build the cabinet takeoff

Drop in base, tall, upper, robe, vanity, and custom cabinet runs. Each cabinet choice carries dimensions, finishes, hardware, and production data forward.

03

Price cabinet by cabinet

Roll material costs, doors and drawer fronts, hardware, edging, CNC, assembly, install labour, waste, overhead recovery, and target margin into the sell price.

04

Review job costing

Check delivery distance, consumables, GST, quote notes, allowances, and line-by-line workings before the client quote goes out.

05

Send and hand over

Send a quote PDF, then keep the same cabinet data available for shop drawings, cut lists, nesting previews, purchasing, and production review.

Cabinet pricing and job costing

Price the whole job, not just the boards.

Good joinery quoting needs more than a square-metre guess. Joina is designed to keep the commercial pieces visible so the quote can be reviewed by the owner, estimator, project manager, or admin team.

Pricing area What Joina keeps in the number Output
Cabinet pricing Carcass board, doors, drawer fronts, hardware, edging, CNC, assembly, install labour, waste, overheads, margin. Sell ex GST

Cut lists and production language

Quoting data that still makes sense in the factory.

The quote should not die once it is accepted. Cabinet dimensions, panels, fillers, kickers, doors, drawers, shelves, edging, and machining notes should stay traceable through the job.

Visual nesting

Review sheet utilisation and parts in context so material allowances are easier to defend inside the quote.

FAQ for cabinetmakers and joiners

Practical answers before you change the quoting workflow.

Is Joina for cabinetmakers or joiners?

Joina is built for Australian cabinet shops and joinery teams quoting kitchens, laundries, robes, vanities, fitouts, and custom cabinetry.

Does it replace Excel quoting?

It replaces the slow workbook loop: manual takeoff, repeated pricing edits, hidden labour assumptions, and disconnected quote output.

Can we use our own supplier pricing?

Yes. Joina starts with Australian supplier pricing references and lets your team tune materials, labour, waste, overheads, and margin to match the shop.

Does Joina produce cut lists?

Joina supports cut lists and nesting previews with part sizes, edging, drilling, shelf pins, construction holes, and machining detail.

Can admin staff help quote?

The workflow is designed so non-qualified staff can prepare and review jobs while the pricing rules still come from the shop's own rates and margin settings.

How does Joina handle margin and GST?

Joina separates job costs, overhead recovery, margin, GST, and quote output so the final number can be audited before it is sent.
