Our flat design fee covers full panel layout, electrical schematic, and final bill of material preparation. Once complete, you'll have an opportunity to review the drawings and request revisions. Our design fee includes 2 drawing revisions.
Once a drawing is complete, you own the design and have the choice to order the cabinet build directly through Podium, or to take that design to an in-house team or any external panel shop of your choosing.
We offer a flat-fee price for designs and will send you a custom quote for build in about a day. The price of a panel includes all materials, assembly, and quality testing.
Before any panel ships, we do a point to point test for continuity, confirm that the built panel matches customer-approved drawings, and do a full power-on test conducted by a UL Manufacturer Technical Representative.
We accept credit card or ACH payments for design fees, due upon order confirmation. For panel builds, we require a 50% down payment and the remaining 50% is due upon shipping.
