For the homeowner planning a kitchen that has to last fifteen years, and for the residential GC who needs the cabinet shop to think one step ahead of the install.
A Belle Vie residential kitchen is one product, built in one shop, painted in one finish room. We start from a measured set, lay the cabinet in our drawing software, build the case, hand-fit the drawers, finish the door in our spray booth, and load the truck with our own crew. Every cabinet leaves the shop with low-voltage runs already routed through the case body, drawer-interior chases already in place, and a labeled junction at the toe-kick. The fixtures that go inside, and the lighting layer that goes on top, are your call. The cabinet itself is ours.
The Wire. The Light. The Scene.
Three rungs. The homeowner picks one at design. The cabinet ships ready for all three.
The Wire
The rough-in we leave on every cabinet, no upcharge.
Low-voltage runs are routed through the case body before the cabinet leaves the shop. Stub-outs at the bottom of every upper. Drawer-interior chases left in place. A labeled junction in the toe-kick. No fixtures installed today. The wire is left where you will want it later.
The Light
The Wire, plus a single steady light.
Twenty-four-volt LED strips in a routed channel, one fixed color temperature (warm at twenty-seven hundred Kelvin or neutral at three thousand Kelvin, your call). Under the upper cabinets, inside the toe-kick, inside the glass-door cabinets, and inside the top vanity drawers. A simple rocker switch or a motion switch at the cabinet. On, off, one color, every time.
The Scene
The Wire, plus light that follows the room.
Same routing, but the channels are sized for tunable-white fixtures running from twenty-seven hundred Kelvin in the evening to four thousand Kelvin during prep, controlled through your home smart system. Belle Vie holds the millwork tolerances. Your integrator commissions the scenes on the cabinet you already own.
The cabinet
Door profile and finish
- One of seven Belle Vie door profiles, finished from the fourteen-color palette plus four hand-rubbed wood tones.
- Samples mailed in the chosen finish before the kitchen is built. You read the wood and the paint, not a swatch.
Construction spec
- Plywood case, dovetailed solid-wood drawer boxes, soft-close undermount runners as standard.
- The case is assembled with a clamping system that pulls the joinery tight without screws showing through the inside.
Hardware schedule
- Every hinge, slide, pull, latch, and accessory itemized and keyed to the elevation drawings.
- The schedule is delivered before fabrication so substitutions get caught before they land in the install.
What goes inside
Standard interior fittings
- Hardwood drawer dividers, paneled inserts, knife-block pockets, peg-board dish drawers, sized to the drawer they go in.
- Built in our shop, finished to match the case, not bought from a catalog.
Specialty interiors
- Pull-out larders, paneled trash and recycling cabinets, spice drawers, tray dividers, appliance garages.
- Mechanism hardware sourced from the catalog you would expect; we install it ourselves so the panel reveal lands where the drawing said it would.
Drawer-interior plan
- A plan view of every drawer in the kitchen, before the kitchen is built.
- You see what each drawer holds. The kitchen is laid out for how you actually cook.
The shop and the install
Installation drawings
- Dimensioned, scaled drawings the installer carries to the site.
- Field-verification notes call out anything that needs to be confirmed before the cabinet leaves the truck.
Integrator handoff sheet
- If the project has a smart-home integrator on it, we deliver a one-page coordination document naming the wiring conventions, scene plan, and points where Belle Vie's scope ends and the integrator's begins.
- If you do not have an integrator yet, the same sheet becomes the document you hand the next one.
Punch and warranty
- A walk-through, a punch list, finish-touch-up materials, and a written warranty on materials and workmanship.
- Belle Vie's own crew delivers and installs.
How we price it
Residential is priced per project. We do not publish per-cabinet pricing because no two kitchens are the same shape, the same finish, or the same drawer-interior order. Inquire with a rough size, the door profile you are reading, and the rung you are leaning toward. We will follow up with a written proposal, a finish sample in the mail, and a date for a measured visit.
Lead time
Lead time runs ten to fourteen weeks from design approval to ship, depending on door profile and finish.
The cabinet is ours. The kitchen is yours.
