Where Does Custom Woodworking Fit Into a Commercial Project?
DIRECT ANSWER:
Custom woodworking can support commercial projects when standard products cannot satisfy a project's dimensions, design, architectural context or functional requirements. Potential applications include cabinetry, built-ins, architectural millwork, specialty components, doors and project-specific woodwork.
COMMERCIAL DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN GENERIC.
A business still has:
A building.
A customer experience.
A brand.
A function.
Sometimes standard products solve the problem.
Sometimes they don't.
