After 24 years in the custom cabinetry business, Progressive Wood Works is proud to announce our new design and pre-production services both for design professionals such as interior designers and architects, as well as fabricators such as cabinetmakers and contractors. Our design assistance will be of great help for those who have clients that are unable to visualize a project from standard drawings. Our walk through movies and renderings will allow them to see the final product before production starts, thus eliminating potential difficulties during the course of the job.
For manufacturers and contractors, let us help you do what you do best. We can remove the drudgery of explaining how the job is going to look. A picture is worth a thousand words. We can further engineer the concepts to make sure they work in the real world and prepare materials for ordering, cut lists, optimization for cutting parts from your material sizes and preparing cabinetry for exporting to those with CNC capabilities.
What
are the benefits of this service?
· Provide us with as little or as much information as you would like to, and we
will take it from there.
· Designs will be ready for fabrication, before submissions to architects,
manufactures, clients or interior designers are made, and thus assuring they can
actually be built.
· One can employ the services of fabricators with lower labor rates, and still
a high quality well designed product will be created, no fabricator
"shortcuts".
· Most parts can be ordered out requiring only assembly to be done either on
site or by less skilled workers. Others CNC machinery can be used without the
need to have the machine in house.
· The entire "front end" of the manufacturing operation has been
created thus much faster fabrication times can be obtained.
· Many companies are not using technology for optimization thus, there is a
saving of materials.
· One has the option to submit custom designed products to the custom divisions
of your regular suppliers detailing the way you want them built.
· Creation of exactly what is needed rather than reliance on something
"close".
