Architectural Millwork and Casework Estimating
Tribuild takes off millwork and casework from elevations and details: base and upper cabinets by linear foot, countertops by area, and custom pieces counted individually, with hardware, panels, and trim carried so each item is priced to the drawings.
Millwork bids depend on reading elevations, not just plans. Tribuild takes off casework and millwork from the elevations and details, base and upper cabinets by linear foot, countertops by area and material, and custom pieces like reception desks counted individually, so each item is priced to what the drawings actually show.
Hardware, panels, trim, and installation components are carried by assembly, material and edge treatments are noted per item, and every deliverable ships with an elevation-keyed workbook and documented assumptions your team can price and defend.

Frequently asked questions
Millwork elevations, plans, sections and details, the room finish schedule, and specifications. Elevations and details drive linear-foot and unit quantities and let us carry material and edge treatments.
We provide quantity takeoffs and estimating, and can support shop-drawing and submittal preparation where agreed. We are not the designer of record.
By area and material with edge profile and backsplash carried, since solid-surface, quartz, and stone tops price differently than laminate.
Reception desks and non-standard cabinetry are counted individually from elevations rather than averaged into a linear-foot rate.
