Direct Answer
For a fall move in, lock your student housing cabinet spec around three months ahead and you are safe. Cabo Cabinet Group delivers order to site in about 37 days, so a spec locked in spring or early summer lands on the job well before the August handover, with buffer for install.
The risk with student housing is the immovable date: residents arrive in August whether the cabinets are in or not. A supplier on a 70 to 105 day Asia timeline forces you to commit spec and cash in winter and leaves no room if anything moves. Cabo runs 3,000 cabinets a day and ships by land to every US market, so the timeline holds and a late change after spec lock can still be absorbed. Bring us the unit count and the move in date and we will give you the exact date your spec has to be confirmed.
