Architectural Millwork

Yes. We provide millwork fabrication and installation so the final fit matches the drawings.

PDF drawings, rough dimensions, photos (if existing site), finish intent, and timeline. If you have a spec package, include it.

We focus on millwork and custom furniture, including commercial cabinetry, wall panels, ceilings, bars, and retail fixtures.

Yes, including restaurant millwork, hotel millwork, bar cabinetry, and back-of-house casework.

The design process for architectural millwork involves several stages, from initial concept to detailed specifications. Here is a general overview of the design process:

• Project Brief and Requirements:

  • The design process begins with a thorough understanding of the client’s needs and project requirements. This may involve meetings with the client, architect, or designer to gather information about the intended use, aesthetics, budget, and any specific functional requirements for the millwork.

• Conceptual Design:

  • Based on the project brief, designers create initial conceptual sketches or renderings. These early designs help explore different ideas and visual concepts for the millwork. Discussions with the client and other stakeholders take place to refine the direction of the design.

• Design Development:

  • Once a concept is approved, designers move into the design development phase. This involves creating more detailed drawings, 3D models, or prototypes to further refine the design. Material choices, finishes, and any additional details are considered during this stage.

• Client Feedback and Revisions:

  • Designers present the developed design to the client for feedback. Based on the client’s input, revisions may be made to the design. This iterative process continues until the client is satisfied with the proposed millwork design.

• Technical Drawings and Specifications:

  • Once the design is finalized, detailed technical drawings and specifications are created. These documents provide precise instructions for the millwork manufacturer, including dimensions, materials, joinery details, and finish specifications. These drawings are crucial for accurate production.

• Material Selection:

  • Collaborating with the client and millwork manufacturer, the design team finalizes material selections. This includes choosing the type of wood, veneer, hardware, and any other materials that will be used in the manufacturing process.

• Cost Estimation:

  • The design team works with the millwork manufacturer to estimate the cost of the project. This includes considering the cost of materials, labor, and any additional services required. The goal is to ensure that the design aligns with the client’s budget.

• Approval and Documentation:

  • The final design, including technical drawings, specifications, and cost estimates, is presented to the client for formal approval. Once approved, these documents are used to create a contract between the client and the millwork manufacturer.

• Collaboration with Manufacturing Team:

  • The design team collaborates closely with the manufacturing team to ensure that the design can be feasibly produced. This collaboration may involve discussions about production methods, assembly processes, and any technical challenges that may arise during manufacturing.

• Prototyping (Optional):

  • In some cases, a prototype or sample of the millwork may be created to verify that the design is practical and meets the client’s expectations. Prototyping can be especially beneficial for complex or unique designs.

• Finalization of Design Package:

  • The design package, including all finalized drawings, specifications, and other relevant documents, is prepared for handover to the manufacturing team. This comprehensive package serves as a guide for the entire production process.

Effective communication, collaboration, and attention to detail are critical throughout the design process to ensure that the final millwork meets the client’s vision and functional requirements.
