Strictly millwork — second-set-of-eyes review on the architectural millwork set before you tender.

Millwork Constructability Review

We review only the architectural millwork package for buildability, code compliance and coordination gaps before you go out to bid. Our team has hands-on millwork shop experience, so we catch the details general contractors miss — veneer sequence breaks at inside corners, hardware conflicts in tight casework, solid-surface seam locations that fall on high-wear edges, blocking and rough-in requirements for feature walls, and ADA/AODA reach ranges on reception desks. The gallery shows real examples of millwork constructability review: redlined shop drawings, 3D clash detection, field-ready detail markups and the coordination-gap register we deliver.

Process — award to install

  1. 01 · Estimating

    Take-off from your drawings, specs and finish schedule. Line-item quote returned within one business day for most packages.

  2. 02 · Engineering & Shop Drawings

    In-house team produces AWI/AWMAC-compliant shop drawings in AutoCAD, coordinated with Microvellum for direct-to-machine output.

  3. 03 · Submittals & Samples

    Finish samples, hardware cut-sheets and drawing set submitted for architect/GC approval prior to release to production.

  4. 04 · CNC Fabrication

    Panels nested and machined on multi-axis CNC. Solid-wood machining, edge-banding and dowel/confirmat assembly in dedicated cells.

  5. 05 · Finishing

    Controlled-environment spray booths for stain, lacquer, conversion varnish, catalyzed polyurethane and low-VOC waterborne systems.

  6. 06 · QC & Pre-Ship

    100 % dimensional and finish inspection against the approved shop drawings. Pre-assembled where practical for site-fit certainty.

  7. 07 · Delivery & Install Coordination

    Blanket-wrapped, phased delivery coordinated with your site schedule. Installation supervision available Canada-wide.

  • Veneer sequence and grain-match constructability check
  • Hardware schedule clash report (hinge / slide / lock clearances in tight casework)
  • ADA/AODA reach-range verification for reception desks and public millwork

Quality & QA

Our commitments

  • AWMAC GIS third-party inspection available on request
  • ISO 9001-aligned quality management
  • Dimensional tolerances per NAAWS 4.0 grade (Custom or Premium)
  • Finish sheen, colour and film-build verified against approved sample

FAQs

Do you review trades other than millwork?+

No — we review only the architectural millwork package. That single-trade focus is why we catch the veneer, hardware, finish and assembly issues a general constructability review misses.

When should the review happen?+

Pre-tender is ideal — we redline the millwork set before the GC prices it, so there are no surprises at award. We can also review at 50% CDs if you need early risk identification.

What does the coordination-gap register cover?+

It lists every instance where the millwork drawing set is missing blocking, MEP rough-in, AV/security cabling, or structural backing required for installation — with reference drawing numbers and proposed fixes.
