Design it for me

Rather not draw it yourself? We'll design it for you.

Send us your room sizes and a few photos. A Sydney cabinetmaker designs your kitchen, wardrobe, laundry or vanity, goes through it with you, and sends the 3D design, drawings and cabinet list. Fixed price before we start.

How it works

Three steps, from a blank wall to a client yes.

  1. Design

    Pick a room, set the wall length and drop in cabinets. Sizes are in millimetres and you change widths, doors and colours as you go.

  2. See it in 3D

    Turn the room around, zoom in and check the fit before anything is made. The plan and front elevation update with it.

  3. Send it to your client

    Share one link. Your client opens it on a phone or computer, looks around in 3D and taps approve or asks a question.

Four ways to start

Real drawings, from the layouts already in the app.

Each walkthrough uses a starter layout and the drawing the app exports. Three steps, then you are in the same tool.

  2. Change cabinet widths, doors and colours until the run fits.
  3. Download a one-page design summary, or share the link.

See it in 3D

Change the door colour and the handles, and watch the whole room update.

Pick a look for the room, then change any one door or drawer. Handleless finger pull, J-pull, push-to-open or knobs: choose a style and see it on the cabinets straight away.

Australian sizes

Built for Australian joinery sizes.

A new kitchen starts on the drawing-standard stack: a 125mm kick, a 735mm base body and a 20mm benchtop. Overheads run up to the ceiling with a 20mm shadowline. Every one of these is a starting value, and you can change it for the room or for a single cabinet.

  • Kick 125mm, base body 735mm, 20mm benchtop.
  • Splashback gap of at least 600mm (650mm over a gas cooktop).
  • Overheads to a 20mm shadowline, no bulkhead unless you add one.
  • Defaults are editable. Nothing is locked.

Client approval

Clients approve from a link.

Send a link your client opens on their phone, no account needed. They see a summary of what they are approving, can comment or ask for changes, and approve the design with one tap. You see the response in the Share panel.

  • A plain summary of the rooms and finishes, with no prices.
  • Comment, request changes, or approve the design.
  • Several options for the client to compare on the same link.

Drawings and install pack

Drawings your installer can work from.

The drawing pack is an A3 PDF with plan and elevation sheets drawn from the same design, and an optional installation pack. Choose which sheets go in. A rough sheet count per board comes with the design. Cut lists are coming soon.

Laundries can run a benchtop over front-loading machines. Pick a room below or start from a blank one.

Made in Carcasso

Sample drawings made in Carcasso.

Sample drawings and 3D views of studies, TV walls, wardrobes and kitchens, shown in plan, elevation and 3D. Every picture is an export from Carcasso, not a photo or an artist's render. Tap any picture to see it large.

Plans & drawings

The same jobs from above: every cabinet labelled with what it is and how wide it is.

How it works

From tape measure to a plan in three steps.

No design software to learn. If you can measure a wall, you can plan the room.

  1. Top-down plan of a 3000mm study wall: open shelves, floating shelf, drawers and benchtop, with depths marked

    Measure your room

    Enter your wall lengths and ceiling height in millimetres. Not sure how? Follow our guide to measuring a room.

  2. Timber-look study wall with a fluted back panel, desk, drawer pedestal, open shelves and a tall cupboard, with every size marked in millimetres
    02

    Design it in 3D

    Add cabinets, drawers, shelves and appliance spaces in standard Australian sizes. Pick door styles and colours, then turn the room around and open the doors.

    Share it and get it built

    Send a link your cabinetmaker or family can open without an account, and download the drawing pack and a homeowner brief to take to quotes.

What you get

Everything you need to get it quoted.

Your design becomes something a cabinetmaker can price, not a picture they have to guess from.

A 3D view

Turn the room around, zoom in and open the doors. Try colours and door styles until it looks right.

A share link

Your cabinetmaker, builder or family opens it in any browser, with no account. On a phone they can view it in your room in AR.

A homeowner brief

A short A4 PDF for your cabinetmaker: 3D views, plan and elevation, a rough board count, and a page you sign to confirm what you asked for.

Drawing pack

A3 plan, elevation and section sheets with every size in millimetres.

Why Carcasso

Built around what goes wrong with renovations.

Renovators raise the same four problems again and again in reviews and forums about online planners and joinery quotes. Here is what Carcasso does about each one.

"The planner is laggy and freezes."Heavy planners that stall on a laptop or tablet.

Light on your device. It runs in the browser you already have, on a Mac, PC or iPad. The 3D view only redraws when you change something, so it is not working your device flat out while you think.

"I lost my whole design."Work that disappears when a tab closes or a session times out.

Saved to your account. Designs save to your account as you work, stored in a Sydney-region database. Open them again on another device.

"The benchtop wasn't in the quote."Quotes that leave things out, found too late.

Everyone quotes the same thing. Your plan lists every cabinet, size, door style and colour. The homeowner brief ends with a page you sign to confirm what you asked for, so you can compare quotes line by line and ask about anything missing.

"The measurements were wrong."Cabinets that do not fit the wall they were ordered for.

A design check before you hand over. It flags problems as you go, like Doesn't fit: needs 3650mm but the wall is 3600mm, a walkway too tight to open drawers, or a cabinet too narrow to build.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Carcasso runs in your web browser on a Mac, a Windows PC or an iPad. There is nothing to download and nothing to update.

Is it really free?

Yes. Every new account gets a 14-day trial, with no credit card. After that you stay on the Free plan (1 job a month, wardrobe only, watermarked PDF) unless you choose Pro at AUD 29 a month, GST included. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.

Can a cabinetmaker build from my plan?

Your plan shows every cabinet with its size in millimetres, plus plan and elevation drawings and the colours you picked, so a cabinetmaker can quote from it. They will still measure your room on site before they build. That is normal, and it protects you.

What if my measurements are wrong?

The design check flags problems as you go, such as cabinets that need more wall than you have, a walkway that is too tight, or a cabinet that is too narrow to build. Our free guide shows how to measure your room.

Will I lose my design?

No. Designs save to your account as you work and are stored in a Sydney-region database, so you can pick up on another device. You can download your PDFs at any time.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Pro is AUD 29 a month, GST included, and renews monthly until cancelled. Cancel anytime in Settings, then Subscription, then Manage/cancel, or email [email protected]. There is no lock-in and no cancellation fee.

I'm a joiner or cabinetmaker. Is Carcasso for me?

Yes. The trade view adds full drawings, a share link your clients can open without an account, and client approvals. Quotes and invoices are coming soon. See the page for joiners and cabinetmakers for details.

What is ready today, and what is coming soon?

Today you can design cabinetry, see plan and elevation drawings, walk the room in 3D, run a design check, share a link and download a drawing pack. Cut lists, CNC files, job quotes and code-compliance checks are coming soon.

Plan it before you pay for it.

Free to start. No card. Your first design takes minutes.
