Initially, the team received input architectural drawings to understand the store layout and develop manufacturing drawings accordingly.

MillWork Detailing of Restaurant Kitchen
MillWork Detailing of Restaurant Kitchen
  • An initial call was set up with the client’s design engineers to understand details of metal grade and wood type to be used and their manufacturing tooling capabilities
  • Team studied the space allocation for placement of various equipment as designed by the store’s architect and compared it with actual dimensions on the construction site
  • Based on these details, seeker’s drawings were developed to confirm the spacing set by the client for each section
  • Project team manager visited the manufacturing facility of the client to properly develop drawings as per tooling capabilities and avoid iterations
  • Once the team had all the details, the team started developing millwork shop drawings for all fit-outs using AutoCAD
  • Mostly standard products were used from the in-built CAD library along with filler materials to leave no alcoves
  • 3D models were chosen from the library and customized wherever needed
  • Final millwork shop drawings were shared with the client after a strict peer QC to ensure meeting quality benchmarks
