Pharmacy & Clinic Millwork

Overview

Pharmacy and clinic environments combine retail-grade FOH with clinical-grade BOH. We engineer both sides of the counter in one drawing package, coordinated with your automation (Kirby Lester, ScriptPro) and refrigeration equipment.

For compounding rooms we build cleanable, non-shedding, coved-base casework and can integrate directly with USP <797>/<800>-compliant hood installations.

Best for

Community pharmacy fit-outs and re-brands
Medical and dental clinic buildouts
Walk-in / urgent-care clinics
Independent physician offices

Standards we build to

Every service line is engineered against the same commercial code and standards framework — the two lists below are what we routinely reference on Canadian and US projects.

Process — award to install

01 · Estimating
Take-off from your drawings, specs and finish schedule. Line-item quote returned within one business day for most packages.
02 · Engineering & Shop Drawings
In-house team produces AWI/AWMAC-compliant shop drawings in AutoCAD, coordinated with Microvellum for direct-to-machine output.
03 · Submittals & Samples
Finish samples, hardware cut-sheets and drawing set submitted for architect/GC approval prior to release to production.
04 · CNC Fabrication
Panels nested and machined on multi-axis CNC. Solid-wood machining, edge-banding and dowel/confirmat assembly in dedicated cells.
05 · Finishing
Controlled-environment spray booths for stain, lacquer, conversion varnish, catalyzed polyurethane and low-VOC waterborne systems.
06 · QC & Pre-Ship
100 % dimensional and finish inspection against the approved shop drawings. Pre-assembled where practical for site-fit certainty.
07 · Delivery & Install Coordination
Blanket-wrapped, phased delivery coordinated with your site schedule. Installation supervision available Canada-wide.
