OUR PROCESS
INQUIRY
The first step is to reach out and share your vision with us. Whether you're looking for custom furniture, casework, or architectural woodwork, we’ll begin by discussing your ideas, preferences, and the scope of your project. During this phase, we’ll gather all the details necessary to understand your needs, and we'll offer guidance on materials, style, and functionality.
We have found that the most successful projects utilize collaborative teams, which include the client, a specialty contractor like ourselves, and a designer, architect, and/or custom builder. Design professionals play a pivotal role in executing custom projects by transforming thoughts and ideas into actionable plans. If you have not yet enlisted the services of a design professional, we can either recommend a trusted industry partner or, if appropriate, provide design services directly.
DESIGN
Once we understand your vision, our design process begins. Our team will work closely with you to create custom designs that reflect your unique style and functional requirements. Meticulous planning and careful consideration of existing conditions, project specifications, material performance and client needs are paramount. We’ll provide detailed shop drawings, 3D renderings and material samples for review and approval.
BUILD + INSTALL
Once drawings and finishes have been fully approved, we move into the build phase. All of our work is custom built, hand fit and tested on our shop floor. Projects as large as an entire room will be constructed and then disassembled, finished in house, delivered, re-assembled and installed.
Our team takes great pride in delivering a perfect finished product, installed with the attention to detail it deserves. Your custom piece is now ready to enhance your home for years to come.

COMMON QUESTIONS
-
We schedule projects on a rolling basis. Some projects make their way through design and reach fabrication very quickly while others may be in the design phase for a year or longer. As such, our lead times can change quickly. We always do our best to accommodate our clients schedules.
-
Many projects can be built and finished within 6-10 weeks from the time that we start fabrication. Larger and more detailed projects may be in fabrication for 12 - 20 weeks. It is not uncommon for us to exceed 1000 hours for large projects.
-
Cost can vary widely. We have the flexibility to meet various price points but we hold ourselves to a high standard and custom work can be expensive. Every member of our team possesses specialized skills and experience and their time is valuable.
