One PM coordinating our millwork with the architect, ID and consultant team.

Architect & Consultant Coordination

On every millwork package, Sandha assigns a single project manager as the point of contact for the architect, interior designer, GC, MEP, AV, security and structural consultants. Millwork sits at the intersection of almost every other trade — a reception desk touches power, data, AV, HVAC returns, structural blocking, lighting, plumbing and finish trades. If one PM isn't actively coordinating all of them, drawings drift, RFIs stall, and site conflicts show up during install. That's why we do this in-house: our coordinator lives inside the drawing set, joins the consultant meetings, tracks every RFI, and pushes revisions through Microvellum so what's approved is exactly what's cut and installed. The gallery below shows what that coordination looks like day-to-day — architect design reviews, on-site consultant walk-throughs, RFI-log meetings, blueprint mark-ups with the GC, MEP/AV alignment sessions, and pre-install coordination with the field crew. Real people, real meetings, real coordination.

FAQs

Why does millwork need its own coordination PM?+

Millwork touches almost every other trade — power, data, AV, HVAC, structural blocking, lighting, finishes. Without one person tracking those hand-offs, drawings and site work drift apart. Our PM owns that coordination so the architect doesn't have to chase it.

How fast are RFIs answered?+

Inside 48 hours as a standard commitment, and same-day on fast-track jobs. Every RFI is logged, tracked, and closed with a drawing revision or written response.

Who attends the consultant meetings?+

Our project manager attends architect / ID / GC / MEP / AV / security / structural coordination meetings as needed — in person on GTA projects, on Teams / Zoom on out-of-town work.

Do you coordinate directly with the AV, MEP and security consultants?+

Yes — we take backgrounds from each consultant, overlay them on our millwork, flag every conflict on a written clash report, and push revisions until it's clean before we go to production.
