Add cabinet runs by type to create a transparent linear-foot scope for early budgeting or takeoff checks without pretending that every cabinet costs the same per foot.
Change the defaults to match your project and the product you plan to buy.
Project result
See the entered cabinet runs, exclusions and allowance-adjusted linear-foot planning total.
Planning estimate only. Verify product coverage, package size, supplier specifications and project requirements before purchasing.
Choose the right tool
You want a preliminary cabinet scope metric split across base, wall and tall runs.
Use Linear Feet for generic stock or Countertop Calculator for the top surface area.
Methodology
base + wall + tall runs
Preserves cabinet types in the input.
gross − excluded run
Removes appliance/open segments when appropriate.
net × (1 + allowance)
Adds a visible scope reserve.
compare each run separately
Prevents one total from hiding cabinet mix.
Measure along the finished wall line where cabinet boxes will actually occupy space. Record base, wall and tall cabinet runs separately and note refrigerators, ranges, doors and intentional open shelves. Corner cabinets and blind corners need a real design plan because a simple linear total cannot describe how two walls share one corner cabinet.
Use linear feet only for early scope comparison or when a supplier specifically quotes on that basis. Final cabinet orders depend on individual box widths, fillers, panels, finished ends, crown, toe-kick, appliance panels, hardware and installation conditions. The allowance field is a planning reserve, not a recommendation to order extra cabinet boxes without a layout.
Reference
| Planning item | Starting point | Verify / adjust |
|---|---|---|
| Base run | floor-supported cabinets | Record appliance gaps. |
| Wall run | upper cabinets | Height and box widths are separate. |
| Tall run | pantry/oven towers | Often priced differently. |
| Linear-foot total | early scope metric | Not a cabinet schedule. |
Questions
No. Final orders require a cabinet-by-cabinet layout with actual box widths and fillers.
Measure the wall runs, but resolve the actual corner cabinet in the final design so you do not double-count physical boxes.
They can have different depths, heights, configurations and pricing even when their linear lengths are similar.
