Share Your Thoughts

Our millwork drafting specialists and design engineers began by studying the architectural drawings shared by the client and prepared an action plan with milestones.

With our long standing experience in furniture industry, engineers had a detailed brain storming session with client’s designers to understand intent and minimize drawing errors.
Initial approval drawings were developed using AutoCAD and shared with the client with the pre-set quality standards.
Once the drawings were approved by project architect, discussion with manufacturer offered insights into their tooling capabilities
Manufacturing shop drawings were then developed and shipped to the client along with BoMs, laminate schedules, detailed drawings etc.
