Sofo Kitchens

What Sofo Kitchens does

Sofo Kitchens is a family-operated, high-end custom cabinetry and millwork manufacturer founded in 2008 by Radu Soos and headquartered in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. The company designs, engineers, and fabricates bespoke cabinetry, kitchens, and architectural millwork for luxury residential projects, operating from a 12,000 sq ft production facility with an attached 1,000 sq ft showroom. Its core customers are contractors, architects, and interior designers serving affluent homeowners and developers in Greater Vancouver and adjacent markets such as Whistler and Maple Ridge.

The company applies Lean Manufacturing methodology to a tight production workflow that integrates Cabinet Vision CAD software, VORTEK Spaces 3D rendering, and hardware partnerships including BLUM. This integrated design-to-build stack supports immersive client visualization before fabrication and has been a foundation for marquee projects such as the Thurlow Penthouse with House of Bohn and recurring work with RDC Fine Homes in Whistler, alongside named trade relationships with Hollyburn Properties, Headland Construction, and Meridian Pacific.

Commercially, Sofo Kitchens operates a project-based, B2B model with referral-driven demand (approximately 99 percent of business originates from referrals). Pricing is contract-specific, aligned to the complexity and finish level of each build rather than a standardized rate card. The firm is privately held with no external funding, has retained its founding team, and has accumulated nine or more Wood Diamond Awards since 2010 alongside multiple Georgie Awards, Best of Houzz honors, and a 2013 Silver A' Design Award, reinforcing category authority in the high-end custom millwork segment.
