For General Contractors & Interior Architects

We know what ruins a job site schedule: drawings with missing scribe details, uncoordinated MEP rough-ins, and late deliveries.

01. On-Site Point Cloud Scans

We measure framing and drywall before final MEP closure to verify wall plumbness, ceiling crown deviations, and floor level variances.

02. Submittal Drawing Sets with Scribe Allowances

All drawing packages include cut lists, fastener specs, electrical chase routes, and explicit 1/2" scribe strips on outer pilasters.

03. White-Glove Installation or Crated Delivery

We either install directly with our studio team or provide full assembly guides and labelled hardware packs for your on-site finish carpenters.

Material Integrity

Selected Hardwoods & Non-Toxic Finishes

We build exclusively with certified domestic lumber dried to 6–8% moisture content for Midwest interior longevity.

WHITE OAK (QUARTER & RIFT)

Straight-grained, high structural density. Ideal for long-span bookshelves and high-traffic dining tops.

AMERICAN BLACK WALNUT

Air-dried Midwestern walnut with deep chocolate undertones, zero sapwood grading on visible face frames.

SOLID MACHINED BRASS

Unlacquered architectural brass hardware turned in-house or sourced from domestic machine shops.

ORGANIC SOAP & HARDWAX OILS

0% VOC food-safe finishes that celebrate the tactile grain and permit spot repairs without full sanding.
