A carpenter sketching a wardrobe design on site

Built for the trade

Your external design and manufacturing department.

Sketch. Order. Install.

Send us a sketch and your measurements. We turn it into a manufacturing-ready design — precision-cut, pre-drilled cabinetry, built by our factory partner and delivered ready to click together on site. You keep the client. You keep the margin.

How it works

Sketch. Order. Install.

What shape? How big? What colour?

Get us those three things any way you can; an architect's plan, your own CAD drawing, a sketch on an offcut of skirting. We will send you back our design quote, which will include dimensioned drawings, 3D renders, a panel list, a hardware list, an interactive model of your cabinetry, an estimate for the manufacture of the furniture, and a payment link for our design pack.

Where and when?

Once we have sent you back your design documents, please check them to make sure they are what you expect to receive. If something doesn't look right you have one revision included in the design quote. Once you have confirmed that you are happy with the design, we send the cutting, edging, and drilling information direct to the factory, and we will send you a link to the manufacturer's ordering system. You pay them directly using the link, indicating where and when you would like your delivery. If you have chosen fixings as well, there will be a link to the hardware supplier's website ordering system.

It's over to you.

Your design will be delivered by our manufacturing partner to your site, ready for you to assemble using your interactive model or construction drawings as references. All that's left to do is to assemble the cabinets and use your skill to scribe them in, leaving your customer happy and you ready for the next project.

Why Pocket Workshop

Your factory without the factory.

No branding on the output.

You keep your client relationship. We work invisibly behind the scenes — there's no branding on what reaches your customer, and no route for them to go direct to the manufacturer.

Price jobs you couldn't before.

Designs start from £50 + VAT, so there's no upfront investment in CAD software, drafting time or in-house design headcount. Take on and price jobs you couldn't have justified designing yourself — and keep the margin between what your client pays and what the manufacturer charges.

Built to standards proven at scale.

Every design runs through the same class of industrial CAD/CAM software used by the German kitchen giants, and a sign-off step before anything reaches the manufacturer — built to fixings and hardware standards proven at scale. Full detail on process and standards is available once you're signed in.

Credibility

Design capability you can trust.

Software

Built on the same industrial CAD/CAM software used by the German kitchen giants.

Manufacturing

Established, professional suppliers already used by large-scale manufacturers.

FAQs

Common questions from the trade.

What do you need to start?

Usually a sketch, a photo or a measured drawing from site. If we need anything more specific, we’ll tell you exactly what it is.

What happens after the design is ready?

We prepare the manufacturing-ready design and route it to a trusted partner for production, keeping the process clear and straightforward.
