Overview
Sandha runs a dedicated in-house estimating department that works strictly on architectural millwork — casework, veneer walls, solid-surface tops, doors, feature millwork and specialty finishes. Every quote is priced by estimators who have run millwork jobs in our own shop, so budgets reflect real material yields, real machining time and real finish grades — not generic square-foot averages. We return order-of-magnitude budgets from schematic drawings in one week, and firm line-item pricing from CDs in 3–5 business days.
Best for
- Pre-construction budget setting
- GC hard-bid pursuits
- Owner-side feasibility studies
- GMP conversion and design-build cost management
Process — award to install
01 · Estimating
Take-off from your drawings, specs and finish schedule. Line-item quote returned within one business day for most packages.

FAQs
How fast do you turn a quote?+
Budget number in one business day for most packages; firm quote with full drawings in 3–5 business days.
Do you estimate anything other than millwork?+
No — we estimate architectural millwork only. That focus is why our numbers hold from tender through closeout.
Can you price to AWMAC Economy, Custom and Premium grade separately?+
Yes. Every line item can be quoted at all three grades so the design team sees the cost impact of grade selection.
