What's included in a Design Packet?

Four artifacts: a measured floor plan, dimensioned wall elevations of every cabinet run, 3D renders of the finished room, and an itemized list of every cabinet and part by manufacturer catalog number — plus a QR verification mark on every page.

Can a shop really quote from it without redrawing?

Yes — that's the design goal of the format. The dimensions are on the drawings and the cabinets are real catalog part numbers, so a dealer prices the list directly. The shop verifies measurements on site before ordering, as on any job.

What does the QR code show a shop?

A public verification page with the packet summary — room type, catalog line, version, and date — confirming the packet is genuine, plus a way to ask our design team about design intent. It shows no homeowner personal information and no downloadable files.

What is a Design Packet?

6 min read · Updated August 10, 2026

A Design Packet is the complete, owned design document anyroomdesign.com delivers for every room: a measured floor plan, wall elevations of every cabinet run, 3D renders, and an itemized list of every cabinet and part by manufacturer catalog number — carrying a QR verification mark any shop can scan. It contains everything a shop needs to price and build the room, and it belongs to you completely the day it's delivered.

Why the packet is the product

Most design services deliver inspiration — renders, mood boards, a look. Shops can't price a look. What a shop can price is a document: exact dimensions, exact cabinets, exact part numbers. The Design Packet is built backward from that fact. Every page exists so that a shop that has never spoken to you can read the packet cold and produce an installed quote.

That's also why the packet has a name and a consistent format. Every packet is assembled the same way, checked by a senior designer before release, and branded so that shops learn to recognize it. A document format shops trust is part of what you're buying.

The floor plan

The anchor page: your room drawn to scale from the measurements you provided, with overall dimensions, wall openings, and the new layout placed in it — every cabinet run, the island if there is one, appliances in their final positions, and clearances where they matter (walkways, door swings, dishwasher-to-island).

This is the page shops read first, because it answers the pricing question that matters most: how much cabinetry, in what configuration, in how much space.

The elevations

One drawing per cabinet wall, face-on, fully dimensioned: each cabinet's width and height, stacked uppers, filler locations, appliance openings, and how runs terminate at walls and windows. Where the floor plan shows the layout, elevations show the build — they're what an installer works from and what a dealer checks the item list against.

Elevations are usually the page that separates a real design from a pretty one. If you've been handed a 'design' with no dimensioned elevations, you've been handed a picture.

The 3D renders

Renders show the finished room — materials, light, and proportion — so you can judge the design as a place to live rather than a set of rectangles. They're how you catch 'that corner feels cramped' before anything is ordered, and they're what makes the revision rounds productive.

One honest note, stated in the packet itself: renders are illustrative. Flooring and paint may appear in them without being specified in the drawings — the specified scope is cabinetry and millwork, and the drawings and item list are the contract-grade pages.

The itemized list

The final artifact is a line-by-line list of every cabinet, panel, filler, and piece of trim in the design — each with its manufacturer catalog part number, from real US catalogs like Fabuwood and MasterBrand Cabinets. This page is what makes quotes comparable: any dealer carrying the line prices the list as-is, and every dealer prices the same list.

It's also your budgeting endpoint. Planning ranges and calculators estimate; a part-number list is what converts an estimate into a real number.

The QR verification mark

Every page of the packet carries a QR code and reference number. Any shop can scan it to verify the packet is genuine — it opens a public verification page showing the packet's summary (room, catalog line, version, date) with no homeowner personal information and no files.

The same code is the shop's line to our design team: a showroom with a question about design intent can ask the designers who drew it. We stand behind every packet, and shops knowing that is part of what makes an owned design quotable in practice.

Ownership, delivery, and revisions

The packet is delivered in your project workspace in 3–5 business days, after a senior designer QA-reviews every page. Ownership transfers to you completely on delivery — stated in plain terms, not fine print. Three revision rounds are included: tell your designer what to change, and the packet is redrawn and re-released as a new version.

If you want to see one before ordering, we publish a watermarked sample packet — every page of a real kitchen Design Packet, free.
