Built next to workshops, for workshops.
Bmfurn started from an afternoon spent in a workshop watching a custom oak dining table get quoted by memory and finish nine thousand rupees past the number the customer had already approved. The problem wasn't craft - the craft was excellent. The problem was operational: no accurate cost, no defensible date, no visible progress.
The workshop was doing everything right - except one thing.
The workshop's craft was excellent. The joinery was tight, the finish work was careful, the piece the customer picked up eight weeks later was beautiful. The problem was that the quote had been built from memory - a rough guess at material cost, a rounder guess at labor, a promised date that assumed the calendar was empty.
By the time the piece was ready, the workshop had absorbed the gap between the quote and the actual cost. It happened again the next month, and the month after that. And every time, the fix was the same: someone needed to hold the whole plan in their head - materials on hand, orders in the queue, capacity per stage, cost per board- foot - and no one had that head to spare.
Bmfurn is what that plan looks like when it doesn't live in one person's head anymore. Every custom order, priced accurately, scheduled realistically, and tracked from cutting to finished piece.
Three principles the whole product is built on.
Cost estimates grounded in real material pricing
Not gut feel. Not marketplace averages. The workshop's own board-foot rates, finish costs, and labor rates drive every estimate.
Schedules that account for what's already in the queue
The next slot is assigned against the workshop's actual capacity - existing orders, stage bottlenecks, and real labor hours - not an empty calendar.
Build progress visible, not a mystery until it's done
Cutting, assembly, finishing and QC surface stage by stage. Owners, front-office staff, and if you choose, customers see the same authoritative state.
Describe a custom piece. See the cost and schedule.
Type a piece the way you would write it on a workshop ticket. The estimator returns a live material cost, a labor breakdown, and a realistic production slot - the same engine your workshop would use in production.
