Welcome to Trade Mark Drafting – Specializing in architectural woodwork in corporate, industrial, medical, hospitality and educational environments. We have been top providers of professional Casework & Millwork Shop Drawings since 2005.
Submittal drawings are often your first impression. Professional drafting services not only make you look good with general contractors and project managers but save you time and money by avoiding pitfalls and guaranteeing a more accurate pre-production and installation process. With advances in internet and remote work abilities, it’s as if you are hiring a local drafting service.
We’ve been on both sides of the fence and believe experienced woodworkers create the best shop drawings. With experience in fabrication and project management, owner Jason Rogers has this to say about why…
Getting good architectural millwork drawings was a struggle. In the shop or as a project manager, I was rarely happy with the local shop drawings we were getting. I didn’t think it was possible to outsource good cabinet drawings and the only way was to do it in-house. That’s what really motivated and continues to motivate me today. Our hands-on experience makes all the difference. We value the relationship side of business and strive to be just as accessible as your local millwork draftsman. ~JR
It’s more than just drawing – the millwork industry requires a process. With years of experience, we’ve ‘been there, done that’ and know what questions to ask. We provide experienced insight into engineering or value-engineering advanced millwork designs as required.
The process required to create quality shop drawings will…
- Clarify discrepancies in construction documents or scope of work.
- Highlight need for more information such as custom casework finishes or cabinet hardware specifications.
- Will draw attention to potential problems that have to be investigated before construction begins like countertop color discrepancies or die wall clearance issues.
- Facilitate accurate measurements and note taking in the field prior to millwork fabrication.
- Improve communication between related construction trades.
- Eliminate surprises on the day of millwork installation.
- Come back approved by the architect and general contractor.
- Result in high quality casework & millwork, production & installation.
