What We Do

Give us the millwork portion of your project. We take it from drawings to a finished, working installation, so your team manages one trade instead of five.

HotWalls Studio, New York

01

Engineering & Shop Drawings

We turn design intent into buildable millwork. Field dimensions, shop drawings, hardware and finish schedules, and samples go to your team for sign-off before anything is cut.

  • Site measure & field verification
  • Shop drawings, elevations & sections
  • Material, finish & hardware submittals
  • Samples & mock-ups for approval
  • Design-assist from sketches or design intent
Sketch: a full-height cabinet wall with one door open, and a detail of the concealed hinge

02

Manufacturing & Finishing

Everything is built in our own New York workshop, where one team controls joinery, veneer, finish and hardware, and every piece is checked against approved drawings before it is crated.

  • Kitchens, built-ins, wardrobes & vanities
  • Wall panelling & concealed doors
  • Reception desks, bars & retail fixtures
  • Sequence-matched veneers & in-house finishing
  • Stone, metal & glass integrated into casework
Sketch: an exploded cabinet, with sides, shelves, drawer box and door separated along assembly lines

03

Site Prep, Delivery & Installation

We plan the site before we arrive and install with our own crew. Building logistics, protection, scribing and the punch list are handled by us, not by your superintendent.

  • Blocking & backing layouts for your framer
  • Site readiness check before delivery
  • COIs, freight elevators & building rules
  • Panelized delivery, installed by our crew
  • Final adjustment, clean-up & punch list

04

Millwork Electrical & Lighting

The lighting, power and controls that live inside the millwork are designed, prewired and installed by us, and coordinated with your electrician so nothing is left between trades.

  • Integrated LED lighting & lit shelving
  • Drivers, dimmers & scene control
  • Outlets, charging & AV provisions in casework
  • Wiring prepared in the shop, terminated on site
  • Coordination with the project electrician

Common Questions

Ask a question

We work with the trade: interior designers, architects, general contractors, developers, and hospitality and retail operators, on residential and commercial projects. Homeowners are welcome through their designer or architect.

Everything the millwork needs to go from drawing to a finished, working installation: site measure, shop drawings, samples and submittals, manufacturing and finishing, delivery, installation, and the lighting, power and controls built into the millwork. You manage one subcontract instead of several trades.

Both. Most projects are built to the designer's or architect's drawings. When you have a sketch or design intent, we develop it with you through design-assist, and nothing goes into production without your sign-off.

We design, prewire and install the lighting, drivers, dimming and power provisions that live inside the casework. Rough-in and final connections to the building's system are coordinated with the project electrician, so responsibility never falls between trades.

Plans, elevations, a millwork schedule or even site photos are enough to start. You get a budget range within two business days, and a fixed price after site measure.

Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island, plus Long Island and New Jersey. Westchester and the Hamptons by arrangement.

Our minimum order is $10,000. Most of our work is a full room or a full millwork package, for private residences, multifamily, hospitality and commercial interiors.

Yes. We provide submittals, blocking layouts and certificates of insurance, coordinate freight elevators and building rules, confirm install dates two weeks ahead, and work within site hours.
