Bills of Materials and Cut Lists: The Foundation of Error-Free Fabrication

In a shop, the most valuable information is not in the overall drawing: it is in the parts list. It guides cutting, machining, edge banding and assembly.

The Bill of Materials

It lists every component of the project: solid wood parts, panels, hardware, assembly fittings, finishes. Every item is numbered and linked to the drawings.

The Cut List

  • Rough and finished dimensions of each part
  • Material and grain direction
  • Edges to be banded, by side
  • Quantities and groupings by material

Concrete Benefits

Accurate material purchasing, less waste, no forgotten part, faster assembly: a reliable cut list pays for itself from the very first project.
