The Maplewood Process: Steps for a Streamlined Project
Step 1: Project Award
A smooth project starts by clearly defining the project scope. At this stage, we confirm what is included and excluded, ensuring everyone understands the details. Miscommunication is avoided by aligning clients, contractors, and our team on the same page. Preliminary schedules are reviewed, and realistic timelines are created to ensure the project progresses smoothly and meets the highest standards of woodworking craftsmanship.
Step 2: Shop Drawings and Submittals
Shop drawings translate the project’s design into actionable plans. These detailed drawings ensure all components are aligned with the client’s vision and project goals while emphasizing the precision that defines our woodworking craftsmanship. During this phase, material finishes are also finalized. Communication is critical here to address any necessary revisions quickly, ensuring the project stays on track and moves forward without delays.
Step 3: Procuring Materials
Once shop drawings and materials are approved, we proceed to procurement. Timely ordering of materials—especially non-standard items—is vital to maintaining the project’s schedule. We actively monitor lead times and communicate any potential delays immediately. By keeping customers informed, we aim to minimize disruptions and adjust schedules proactively, when needed.
Step 4: Field Measurements
Field measurements are essential for precision and ensuring that each piece reflects the exceptional woodworking craftsmanship we promise. During this step, our team ensures every custom piece is tailored to fit seamlessly into its designated space. It’s also an opportunity to identify and address any conflicts with plumbing, electrical, or framing. Immediate communication of these findings allows us to resolve issues early and avoid complications during installation.
Step 5: Engineering and Fabrication
We move into engineering and fabrication with the designs finalized and field measurements confirmed. Using advanced software, we create detailed plans for each component, ensuring every piece meets exact specifications. If any conflicts arise between measurements and shop drawings, they are addressed promptly to maintain progress and uphold quality standards.
Step 6: Millwork Installation
The final stage—and often the most exciting—is millwork installation. This is where all the hard work of bidding, preparing shop drawings, field measuring, engineering, and fabrication culminates in a tangible result. Installation is not only the most visible phase but also one of the most critical.
Our installation team, the face of Maplewood Cabinetry, ensures every piece is placed with precision and care, bringing the project to life. They take pride in showcasing the woodworking craftsmanship and dedication that have gone into every detail. Communication remains a priority throughout this phase as we coordinate closely with other trades to complete the project efficiently and deliver results that exceed expectations.
