Custom Millwork, Cabinetry & Casework
Reception desks, cabinetry, retail fixtures, and casework for commercial interiors across the Bay Area.
Custom millwork, cabinetry, and casework give a commercial interior its character and function. Reception desks, break rooms, display fixtures, and storage are often the details clients and employees remember most.
Millwork also has some of the longest lead times on an interior project. Coordinating shop drawings, finishes, blocking, and utilities early keeps fabrication aligned with construction and move-in dates.
Where Custom Millwork Is Used
Commercial millwork commonly includes:
- Reception and welcome desks
- Break room and pantry cabinetry
- Built-in storage and shelving
- Wall paneling and feature walls
- Retail displays and cash wraps
- Conference room credenzas
Well-designed millwork supports both brand image and daily function.
Shop Drawings and Approvals
Before fabrication begins, millwork typically goes through:
- Design intent review
- Detailed shop drawings
- Material and finish samples
- Hardware selections
- Countertop selections
- Owner and designer approval
Approving shop drawings early is the best way to protect the schedule.
Field Coordination
Millwork has to fit the built space exactly. Coordination includes:
- Field measurements after framing
- In-wall blocking for support
- Power and data locations
- Plumbing for sinks and appliances
- Lighting integrated into casework
- Clearances for doors and equipment
Measuring after framing prevents costly gaps and rework.
Medical, Dental, and Lab Casework
Healthcare and science tenants often need casework designed for:
- Cleanable, durable surfaces
- Integrated sinks
- Secure storage
- Equipment and utility connections
- Chemical-resistant countertops where needed
- Workflow-driven layouts
Specialty casework is coordinated closely with plumbing, electrical, and equipment plans.
Accessibility at Counters and Storage
Public-facing and employee millwork is reviewed for accessibility, including:
- Accessible counter heights
- Knee and toe clearances
- Reach ranges to storage
- Hardware operable without tight grasping
- Clear floor space
- Accessible break room sinks
Accessibility details are simplest to address during shop drawing review.
Installation and Finishing
Millwork installation is one of the last steps before turnover:
- Delivery and protection on site
- Leveling and anchoring
- Countertop installation
- Utility connections
- Hardware adjustment
- Final touch-up and punch list
Careful installation protects expensive finishes right up to move-in.
