Step 1 · Pick the Standard Rough-In

Which Models Fit Standard North American Rough-Ins?

Most production home builders we work with standardize on two rough-ins: the 30 inch under-cabinet for the standard 30 inch base cabinet, and the 36 inch under-cabinet for the 36 inch pro range footprint. Both fit standard cabinet dimensions without furring strips, custom fillers, or on-site cabinet rework. Here is the standard lineup and how each one fits into your plan.

Model Type	Standard Width	Cabinet Rough-In (W × D × H)	Vent Duct	Electrical Rough-In	Typical Project Use
30" Under-Cabinet	30 in / 762 mm	30" × 20" × 6" above cooktop	6" round / 3-1/4×10" rect.	110/120V 60Hz, right rear wall, 3-prong	Single-family spec homes, 2,000-4,000 sq ft
36" Under-Cabinet	36 in / 914 mm	36" × 20" × 6" above cooktop	6" round / 3-1/4×10" rect.	110/120V 60Hz, right rear wall, 3-prong	Single-family premium, multi-family premium units
30/36" Insert / Built-In	30 or 36 in	Custom cabinet recess, depth 12" min.	6" round / 8" round (high CFM)	110/120V 60Hz, top of cabinet	Custom-cabinet kitchens, millwork-integrated look
Island (36/42/48")	36/42/48 in	Ceiling-mount 30-36" above cooktop	8" round (700-1500 CFM)	110/120V 60Hz, ceiling junction box	Open-plan villa kitchens, custom home spec
Alfresco Outdoor (36/42/48")	36/42/48 in	Ceiling or wall-mount, weather-rated	8" round (1200 CFM), weatherproof	110/120V 60Hz, GFCI required	Outdoor kitchens, alfresco terraces (AU/UAE/SA)

For production home builders, we recommend standardizing on the 30 inch under-cabinet for the base spec package and offering the 36 inch under-cabinet as a $1,500 upgrade option. This keeps your SKU count low (better volume pricing), simplifies on-site training for cabinet installers, and avoids the dimensional drift that comes with one-off custom units. See our full under-cabinet range hood line, insert / built-in range hood line, and island range hood line.

Step 2 · Spec Pack for Plan Review

What Documentation Goes Into Your Plan Review?

Every builder project ships with a free architect-grade spec pack sized for plan review submission. You get the same documentation your mechanical engineer, code consultant, and cabinet subcontractor need to approve the hoods before they appear on the construction drawing. The pack is emailed within one business day of quote acceptance.

Spec Pack Component	Format	Plan Review Use
Dimensional drawings	DXF + PDF	Cabinet cut-sheet, MEP coordination
Cut-sheet (1-page)	PDF, formatted for paste into spec book	Architect specification book Section 23.30.14
Electrical rough-in drawing	PDF	Electrical subcontractor rough-in coordination
Ventilation CFM chart	PDF	Mechanical engineer airflow balance, make-up air calcs
UL / ETL / CSA certificates	PDF	Code official electrical approval
CB certificates	PDF	International project submissions
Installation manual	PDF, English + Spanish	Cabinet subcontractor field install
BIM / Revit family files	RFA + Revit 2022+	Architect BIM model integration
AutoCAD blocks	DWG	Floor plan and elevation drawings
HVI-2100 airflow cert	PDF	Energy compliance documentation
ICC-ES evaluation report	PDF on request	Code official alternative materials approval

If your project uses a different spec section format, send us your spec template and we will pre-fill the cut-sheet to match. Most builder clients use CSI MasterFormat 2004 Section 23.30.14 "Range Hoods" or Section 11 32 16 (AIA 2016). We have pre-formatted cut-sheets for both. For the broader North American residential builder market context, see our top under-cabinet hood suppliers for North American residential builders 2026 news guide.

Step 3 · Schedule Around Your Phases

How Does Project Scheduling Work?

For subdivision and multi-family builders, the kitchen hood rarely arrives as a single drop. We split each project into 4 to 12 phased deliveries aligned to your construction milestones — framing, rough-in, cabinet install, final trim. Each phase ships 14 days before the on-site delivery date you specify, with finished goods stored at our Shengzhou factory at no charge while your phases progress.

Project Phase	Typical Lead Time	Phase Delivery Lot Size	Storage Until Phase	Risk We Carry
Phase 1 — Spec approval + first article	30-40 days (includes 2 prototype units)	2-5 units sample	3-6 months	Prototype iterations + UL/ETL verification
Phase 2 — First production drop	40 days from PO	20-30% of total order	Until Phase 3	First-article QC, on-site pilot install
Phase 3 — Main run	50 days per drop	2-4 production drops of 100-400 units each	Until Phase 4	Production consistency across lots
Phase 4 — Final drop + replacement reserve	50 days from last-call order	Remaining 5-10% + 2% spare reserve	Held at JILU Texas for 7 years	Warranty, field replacements

Photographed 2026.

For projects with holding cost concerns, we recommend the 4-phase structure: spec approval → first drop (20-30%) → main run (50-70%) → final drop + 2% spare reserve. Each drop arrives on its own purchase order so your WIP cost matches your cash flow. Past builder clients have used phased delivery to spread working capital across 6-9 months instead of paying full up-front. For the international luxury villa context, see our notes on the $50k undersizing mistake Dubai villa developers make and our Riyadh airflow calculation guide.

Step 4 · Lock in Builder Pricing

What Does Builder Program Pricing Look Like?

Builder program pricing is structured around three tiers: Single-Family Spec (50-200 units, simple 30/36 inch under-cabinet), Multi-Family Phase (200-2,000 units, phased delivery, single SKU lot consistency), and Luxury Villa Custom (10-50 units, open-plan island hoods with custom CFM and finishes). Prices quoted FOB Shanghai/Ningbo, exclude destination-country duties and last-mile delivery, and lock for 12 months from quote date. Below is the indicative 2026 tier structure for a 30 inch under-cabinet base spec.

Tier	Project Size	Indicative FOB Unit Price (30" UC)	Production Lead Time	Payment Terms	Best For
Single-Family Spec	50-200 units	$95-110 / unit	35 days	30% deposit, 70% before shipment	Production home builders, 50-200 home subdivision, single phase
Multi-Family Phase	200-2,000 units	$78-90 / unit	50 days per drop	30% deposit, 60% pre-shipment per phase, 10% retainage	Apartment / condo buildings, phased across 4-12 milestones
Luxury Villa Custom	10-50 units	$280-380 / unit	45 days + 14 days prototype	50% deposit, 50% before shipment	Open-plan villa kitchens, island hoods, custom CFM/finish
Alfresco Outdoor	10-100 units	$380-520 / unit	50 days	50% deposit, 50% before shipment	Outdoor / alfresco terrace kitchens (AU/UAE/SA)

Photographed 2026.

Net 30 terms are available after the first completed project. All builder program orders include free dimensional drawings, free BIM/Revit family files, free UL/ETL/CSA certificates, free installation manuals in English and Spanish, and a 7-year replacement parts guarantee held at our Texas spare-parts warehouse. Builder pricing is project-scoped, not SKU-scoped — that is why we do not publish a price list. Send us your project plan and unit count and we will return a tier-priced quote within one business day.

Step 5 · Match Model to Project Type

Multi-Family vs Single-Family: Which Models Where?

Multi-family and single-family projects stress different parts of the hood: multi-family stresses SKU consistency, phased delivery, and per-unit replacement parts availability; single-family stresses design variety, finish options, and on-time whole-project delivery. The model selection matrix below is what we typically recommend for each project type — yours will vary by region and code jurisdiction.

Project Type	Recommended Hood Type	SKU Strategy	Typical Order Size	Delivery Model	Certification Focus
Production Single-Family	30" Under-Cabinet Stainless	1 SKU (low complexity)	50-200 units	Single drop or 2-phase	UL 507, ETL, ENERGY STAR, HVI-2100
Premium Single-Family	30/36" Under-Cabinet + Black finish option	2 SKUs (1 finish × 2 sizes)	100-400 units	2-3 phased drops	UL 507, ETL, CSA, ASHRAE 62.2 makeup air
Luxury Custom Home	Island (700-1500 CFM) + 36" Wall-Mount option	3-5 SKUs per project	10-50 units	Single drop with on-site install coordination	UL 507, ETL, custom CFM, white-glove delivery
Multi-Family Mid-Rise	30/36" Under-Cabinet (single finish)	1-2 SKUs across 100-500 units/building	500-2,000 units	4-8 phased drops aligned to building milestones	UL 507, ETL, CSA, ICC-ES, common-area code
Multi-Family High-Rise (Luxury)	Island + Insert, custom finish	3-5 SKUs, mix of premium tiers	50-300 units	Single drop per floor	UL 507, ETL, make-up air, sound ≤45 dB common-area
Alfresco Outdoor / Resort	Outdoor 1200 CFM, 304 stainless	1 SKU (rare 2-3)	10-100 units	Single drop, weather-protected crating	IP54 electronics, corrosion-resistant filters, GFCI required

Step 6 · Final Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Home Builder & Developer Supply

1. What are the standard rough-in cutout dimensions for your 30 and 36 inch under-cabinet hoods?

JILU 30 inch under-cabinet hood rough-in: width 30 inch, depth 20 inch, height 6 inch above cooking surface. 36 inch under-cabinet: width 36 inch, depth 20 inch, height 6 inch. Cabinet recess depth 12 inch minimum. Electrical rough-in: 110/120V 60Hz dedicated circuit on right rear wall, 3-prong grounded outlet. Vent duct: 6 inch round or 3-1/4 x 10 inch rectangular, vented straight back or up through cabinet top.

2. What does the builder program pricing structure look like?

Builder program has three pricing tiers: Single-Family Spec (50-200 units) at indicative 95 to 110 USD per unit FOB for 30 inch under-cabinet; Multi-Family Phase (200-2,000 units) at 78 to 90 USD per unit FOB with phased delivery; Luxury Villa Custom (10-50 units) at 280 to 380 USD per unit FOB for 700-1500 CFM island hoods with custom finishes. Net 30 terms after first project. Pricing excludes destination-country duties and last-mile delivery.

3. Can you align delivery to our construction schedule phases?

Yes. JILU splits multi-family and subdivision orders into 4 to 12 phased deliveries aligned to your framing, cabinet install, and final trim milestones. Each phase ships 14 days before the on-site delivery date you specify. We hold finished goods in our Shengzhou warehouse for up to 6 months at no charge while your phases progress. Past builder clients have used phased delivery to spread working capital and avoid on-site storage.

4. What documentation is included in the spec pack for plan review?

Every builder project ships with a free architect-grade spec pack: dimensional DXF and PDF drawings, cut-sheet PDFs, electrical rough-in drawings, ventilation CFM performance charts, UL/ETL/CSA certificates, installation manuals, BIM/Revit family files for the major hood types, and a one-page specification summary formatted for direct paste into your project specification book.

5. Are your hoods code-compliant for North American residential building codes?

Yes. JILU residential hoods carry UL 507 (US), ETL (US/Canada), and CSA C22.2 No.64 (Canada) listings for electrical safety. HVI-2100 certified for airflow performance. ENERGY STAR qualified on most under-cabinet models. Indoor air quality compliance verified per ASHRAE 62.2 for makeup air calculations. We provide ICC-ES evaluation reports on request for code officials.

6. What CFM do I need for a luxury open-plan villa kitchen with island hood?

For luxury open-plan villa kitchens with island hoods, we recommend 700 to 1500 CFM depending on cooktop BTU and ceiling height. Rule of thumb: 1 CFM per 100 BTU of cooktop output, plus 150 CFM per linear foot of island over 5 feet. For a 48 inch professional range (6 burners plus griddle, ~120,000 BTU), 1200 CFM is the typical specification. Higher ceilings (3.5m+) may require +200 CFM due to greater air volume.

7. Do you have outdoor / alfresco range hoods for covered terrace kitchens?

Yes. JILU Alfresco line covers 304 stainless outdoor hoods rated 1200 CFM with weather-resistant motor housing, sealed control electronics (IP54), and corrosion-resistant baffle filters. Common in Australia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, and southern US resort projects. We supply both island-mount and wall-mount outdoor configurations. Outdoor hoods add 35-50 percent to the indoor list price due to material upgrade.

8. What replacement parts are guaranteed for the warranty period?

JILU guarantees 7-year replacement parts availability for every builder project. Stocked parts: motor assemblies, LED boards and drivers, baffle filters, charcoal filters, control boards, touch panels, duct adapters, mounting brackets, wire harnesses, and remote controls. Our spare-parts warehouse in Texas holds inventory for the top 50 SKUs at all times. Standard warranty: 3 years on complete unit, 5 years on motor, 2 years on electronics.
