Contractor Solutions

Cabinets Built for Multi-Family & Hospitality Projects

I've spent enough time on job sites to know what contractors actually need from a cabinet supplier. Not brochures. Not promises. Not someone who says "we can do anything" and then disappears when something goes wrong.

You need consistency across 200 units. You need a lead time you can count on. You need someone who answers the phone when a shipment arrives with three damaged doors.

That's why we built this side of our business.

We're Quanzhou Mino Home Furnishings. We manufacture cabinets. But for contractors and developers, what we really provide is predictability.

 

Who This Page Is For

This isn't for homeowners looking to remodel a kitchen. This is for:

General contractors managing multi-family apartment projects

Developers building workforce housing, student housing, or senior living

Hotel owners and hospitality contractors furnishing guest rooms

Property managers doing phased renovations across multiple buildings

If your project needs 50 to 500 units of consistent, durable cabinets delivered on a schedule, keep reading.

 

What Makes a Supplier "Project-Ready"

Not every cabinet factory can handle project business. The ones that can operate differently. Here's what that looks like at Mino.

Consistency Across Units

The biggest risk in a multi-family project isn't one bad cabinet. It's variation between units. A color that shifts from floor 3 to floor 8. A door profile that looks slightly different on the south wing.

We control for this with:

Batch tracking – Every unit in a project comes from the same production run

Finish standards – Our color matching holds to ΔE < 1.0, which means no visible difference to the naked eye

Hardware consistency – Same brand, same model, same adjustment settings on every single cabinet

What you approve in the sample is what shows up on the job site. Unit 1 and unit 150 look exactly the same.

Lead Times That Actually Mean Something

I've watched contractors build schedules around a 45-day lead time that turned into 75 days because the supplier didn't have their production process under control.

We don't play that game.

Here's what we tell every contractor upfront:

Sample order – 15 days

Bulk production (under 200 units) – 30 to 35 days

Large production (200+ units) – 45 days maximum

And we tell you exactly when the clock starts. The day we receive approved drawings and deposit, we send you a confirmation. That's day one.

A Real Plan for Replacements

Something will go missing or get damaged on site. It happens on every project. The question is whether your supplier planned for it.

We keep a spare parts inventory for every active project. Need one door? One drawer front? A single hinge? We ship it. Usually within 48 hours.

We also pack strategically for bulk orders. Cartons are labeled by building, floor, and unit number. Your crew doesn't waste time hunting for parts.

 

Our Product Capabilities

We manufacture a full range of cabinet products for project applications.

Kitchen Cabinets

Standard and custom sizes. Framed or frameless construction. Multiple door styles including shaker, slab, and raised panel. We offer RTA (ready-to-assemble) and pre-assembled options depending on your installation workflow.

Bathroom Vanities

Single and double configurations. Wall-mounted or freestanding. We've supplied vanities for hundreds of apartment and hotel units where moisture resistance and cleanability are priorities.

Custom Millwork

Need something that doesn't come out of a catalog? We do custom sizes, finishes, and configurations. Our engineering team provides shop drawings for approval before production starts.

Hardware & Accessories

Soft-close hinges and slides as standard. Blum and Hettich available by request. Pull-outs, waste bin inserts, and other accessories can be integrated at the factory.

 

Technical Specifications Worth Reading

I'm not going to bury you in marketing language. Here's what we actually build with.

Component	Our Standard	Why It Matters
Cabinet box	18mm plywood or MDF (project dependent)	Thicker than the 16mm many suppliers use. More durable in transit and on site.
Back panel	9mm, same material as box	Not the thin 3mm hardboard you see on cheap cabinets. Holds screws better for installation.
Drawer construction	Dovetail joint, 12mm sides	Won't come apart after six months of resident use.
Hinges	Soft-close, 3D adjustable	Makes installation easier. Field-adjustable without tools.
Slides	Full-extension, soft-close	Residents can actually reach the back of the drawer.
Finish	Water-based paint or UV lacquer	Low VOC. Meets European and US indoor air quality standards.
Edgebanding	ABS, 1mm thickness	Seals edges completely. No exposed particleboard that swells in humidity.

If you need a different spec – thicker plywood, a specific hardware brand, a custom color match – we do that too. Just tell us what the project requires.

 

Certifications You Can Hand to an Inspector

On a multi-family project, someone is going to ask for documentation. We provide it.

CARB Phase 2 – Our composite wood products meet California's formaldehyde emissions standard

FSC certification – Available on request for projects pursuing LEED or other green building credits

Low VOC – Our water-based finishes meet EU and US standards for indoor air quality

ISO 9001:2015 – Quality management system certified

If your project requires additional testing or third-party certification, let us know. We've worked with inspectors from SGS, TÜV, and Intertek.

 

How We Work with Contractors

Every project is different. But the process generally looks like this.

Step 1: You tell us about the project

How many units? What's the timeline? What's the installation method? Do you have drawings or just a rough idea?

We ask a lot of questions upfront because that's where most projects go wrong.

Step 2: We provide a proposal with real numbers

Not a vague range. A line-item proposal that shows cabinet cost, hardware cost, packing, and shipping separately. You'll know exactly what you're paying for.

Step 3: Sample approval

We build one set of cabinets to your specifications. You approve the color, the construction, the hardware. No surprises when the full order arrives.

Step 4: Production with updates

We send production photos. We tell you when we're cutting, when we're finishing, when we're packing. No black holes.

Step 5: Packing and shipping

Cartons labeled by unit. Packing list your superintendent can actually read. Container loading supervised by our team.

Step 6: Delivery and follow-up

You get the cabinets. You install them. If something is wrong, you talk to a real person who can authorize replacements without three layers of approval.

 

What Contractors Have Asked Us

These are real questions from real project managers. Here are the answers.

Q: What's your minimum order quantity for a project?

A: For a multi-family project, we typically start at 50 units. Smaller projects are possible depending on the product. Just ask.

Q: Do you offer RTA cabinets?

A: Yes. For projects where on-site assembly makes sense, we ship RTA. For projects where labor is tight, we ship pre-assembled. Your call.

Q: Can you match a specific paint color from a brand like Sherwin-Williams or Benjamin Moore?

A: Yes. We color match from physical samples or codes. We'll send you a finished sample panel before we run the full order.

Q: What happens if cabinets arrive damaged?

A: You document with photos. We replace the damaged components. We don't argue about who's at fault. We just fix it.

Q: Do you have references I can call?

A: Yes. We'll put you in touch with contractors we've worked with on similar projects.

Q: Can I send my own inspector to the factory?

A: Absolutely. Many of our clients use third-party inspection services. We coordinate access and provide documentation.

 

Who We've Worked With

We don't share client names without permission. But we can tell you the types of projects we've done.

216-unit apartment complex in Florida – full kitchen and bath package

88-unit senior living facility in California – RTA cabinets, assembled on site

Hotel renovation in Texas – 124 guest rooms, custom finish match to existing FF&E

Student housing project in the UK – 312 units, compact kitchen configurations

Each of these projects had different requirements. Each one delivered on time.

If you want details on a project similar to yours, ask. We'll share what we can.

 

What We Don't Do

I think it's just as important to tell you what we're not.

We're not the cheapest supplier in China. If price is your only criteria, there are cheaper options. You'll get what you pay for.

We don't do one-off custom kitchens for homeowners. That's a different business. We're set up for volume.

We don't promise 15-day lead times on 500 units. That's not realistic, and anyone who promises it is lying.

We don't disappear after the order ships. We've seen that happen to contractors too many times.

We do exactly what we say we'll do. That's the business we're in.

 

Let's Talk About Your Project

If you're reading this page, you probably have a project coming up. Or you're trying to figure out if we're the right fit.

Either way, the next step is a conversation.

Tell us about the project. How many units? What's the timeline? What's been the hardest part about cabinet sourcing so far?

We'll tell you if we can help. And if we can't, we'll tell you that too.
