Custom Furniture
Exclusive Woodworking provides exceptional craftsmanship, executing exquisite designs, using rare materials to create truly extraordinary pieces. We specialize in crafting bespoke furniture that is as unique as you are.
Our Process
Each project begins with an idea and comes to life through the talent and creativity of an architect or an interior designer. The ideas are depicted in the form of design drawings which are sent out to bid, often through a general contractor. Exclusive Woodworking’s estimator reviews the design drawings and specifications provided and generates a detailed proposal to bid the job. When the contract is awarded, the planning process gets underway.
Estimating / Engineering
An essential step in planning and budgeting for your custom cabinetry project. This process involves assessing the scope of work, determining materials, calculating costs, and providing an accurate estimate for the project.
Project Management
Translating the design concept and specifications into detailed technical drawings and required documentation that serve as a guide for fabrication and installation. By overseeing all aspects of the project, coordinating resources, and maintaining effective communication among all stakeholders. This ensures smooth execution and successful outcome of your custom cabinetry project.
Manufacturing
The collaborative effort of our long tenured craftsmen executing various tasks where precision and attention to detail are crucial. This ensures that each step of the manufacturing process is performed with skill and expertise, leading to the creation of high-quality final products
Installation
Our dedicated team of installation professionals installs the product using a phased timeline that allows for scheduling of other trades involved such as stone, tile, glass, electrical and appliance installers. After the final phase of installation, a punch list is created to ensure everything is complete.
Care and Maintenance
The relationship doesn’t end after you complete your project. Much like an automobile your cabinetry may require maintenance, like paint touch up, door and drawer adjustments, etc. Contact us at any point after your project and we will arrange to have one of our team members
come and complete any needs that may exist.
