PROCESS
1
Estimating
We find ways to meet your requirements, manage costs, and achieve the design intent through value engineering, material selection, and construction optimization. Our drafting department is efficient and accurate, eliminating the need for multiple redline re-submittals.
2
Drafting
Our expert draftsmen will produce comprehensive shop drawings to be used extensively throughout the project to show what will be fabricated, clarify critical details, and facilitate coordination with the GC and other trades in the field.

Project Management
We know projects rarely have the luxury of time. That's why we assign a dedicated project manager seasoned in tackling stacked trades and compressed schedules. He or she will be your single point-of-contact and accountability, providing real-time updates from kickoff to punch list close-out.

Fabrication
Our fabrication process joins modern technology with traditional woodworking techniques, designed to strike a balance between lowering unit cost and achieving a level of quality and customization only a human hand can deliver. Our 20,000 square foot facility is capable of quick turnarounds and job changes, while in-house laminating and finishing capabilities ensure we retain complete control over production.
5
Installation
In the field time and space are in shortest supply, labor is most intensive, and a focus on safety is critical. Our installation foremen are tasked with maintaining a safe and productive job site. They lead OSHA-62 trained crews that ensure the final product matches specs, functions correctly, and looks beautiful.
