Engineering

In order to ensure precision, we invest a great deal of time and effort in developing detailed, engineered drawings. We take other subcontractors' drawings and import them into our own AutoCAD software program to make sure that the work product of any outside trade fits perfectly with our own millwork. (We call these "engineered drawings" since they are far more advanced than traditional "shop drawings.")

 

Long considered the centerpiece of our high tech shop is a computer-controlled, multi-faceted piece of equipment, a KOMO Mach III VR1005TT, that executes the precision cuts from our engineered drawings in split seconds and to thousandth-of-an-inch tolerances. With two 12-tool changers, it drills, cuts and routs in one sequence. Functions which used to collectively take one hour now take about 30 seconds. The time saved using technology gives our craftsmen more time to devote to properly sanding, gluing and fitting pieces together in the shop to ease installation.

Our clients' work is among the most complex and detailed in the commercial marketplace. Therefore, there is no option but to craft and install it right the first time. This is the only way we know how to work.
Our uncompromising commitment to quality from beginning to end helps us deliver our work on schedule and within budget. This is because we have simply reduced the risk of error. We put so much emphasis on making precise engineered drawings, coordinating our efforts with other trades, and hiring the best craftsmen to use and maintain the best equipment, that we can get on and off the job site quickly. This allows other necessary work to be performed on schedule and gives the owner quicker delivery of their space.

Our technical precision and high tech equipment not only creates better fit-and-finish, it cuts fabrication and installation costs because of dramatically reduced waste. These cost savings are passed on to our clients.
