Millwork and casework Shop Drawings are our passion.
One of our latest videos is intended to educate Millwork and casework draftsman in the proper basic fundamentals of casework and Millwork drafting. This is a lesson on how to draw a casework section from scratch. We will start with a vertical and horizontal line drawn, we will work first to offset all of our horizontal distances countertop height, toe kick, door Gap at the countertop, then we will offset our vertical line to get countertop depth face of cabinet face of case and face of toe kick.

I hear this somewhat often “What are Millwork shop drawings?”
There may be no singular simple answer. Ask more than one person and see if you get the same response some people may have no idea what you are talking about.
Depending on whom you ask – Owners, Architects, Contractors, or Millwork Manufacturers, you may get widely different opinions, including arguments as to what constitutes proper Millwork shop drawings as opposed to just regurgitating the Architects or Designers drawings.
Lack of clarity on the contract documents creates a great degree of complication and frustration for the Millwork industry. That is why Millwork Shop drawings are a valuable tool for Architectural Millwork and casework shops. Millwork Shop drawings must typically be accompanied by additional information such as product and technical data, and specifications. Each individual project requires a set of submittals unique to that project’s designs and field conditions. We see some Single-family or small home construction projects that may forgo the process altogether but large office buildings will definitely require a much more stringent planning and oversight process.
Simply put Millwork shop drawings are meant to show a specific level of real world buildable fabrication and installation detail that are typically not represented in the Architect or Designers drawings. Many designer drawings vary in levels of detail and may require the help of an Architectural Millwork Draftsman to refine the details. Many contractors’ waste valuable time and money submitting under-developed Millwork shop drawings that continually get resubmitted and redlined. That is why we work to help our clients get it right the first time around!
A quite common misconception about Millwork shop drawings is that they are suitable for fabrication purposes right from the draftsman. First of all never build from a shop drawing unless it is stamped approved by the Architect.
Some Casework Shop Drawings where there are high tolerances solved with fillers a basic shop drawing can be used for fabrication however, they generally must be taken to the next level which is field dimensioning and additional detailing for clarity and fabrication requested by Owners, Designers or Architects.

Millwork shop drawings are expected to be required more than ever by Architects.
The main reason is that Architects no longer want to accept the liability for Millwork that is represented in a conceptual way on the Architectural drawings. Architects are pushing for Millworkers to show that they fully understand the scope of work and the intended finished results.
