Architect drawings are not enough to build from
Design intent drawings show what the casework should look like, not how to build it. Your shop needs exact dimensions, joinery, materials, and hardware before anything gets cut.
Casework Shop Drawings & Custom Casework Drafting
We turn architectural drawings into production-ready casework shop drawings. Plans, elevations, sections, and hardware schedules, all built to AWI/AWMAC standards, so your cabinets and casework go from submittal to shop floor without rework.
Submittals keep bouncing back
Missing sections, unclear material callouts, or drawings that do not follow AWI standards mean rejected submittals, resubmittal cycles, and a schedule that keeps slipping.
Field conditions never match the plans
Walls are out of square, ceilings vary, and utilities are not where the drawings say. Casework drawn without site verification in mind leads to expensive install-day surprises.
Your drafters are stretched thin
When every project needs casework drawings at the same time, your in-house team becomes the bottleneck and the shop floor waits.
Production-ready casework drawings
Every package includes dimensioned plans, elevations, vertical and horizontal sections, and details your shop can build from directly. No guesswork between the drawing and the saw.
Built to AWI/AWMAC casework standards
We draft to ANSI/AWI 0641 casework requirements and the grade your spec calls for, so submittals get approved the first time.
Hardware and material schedules included
Hinges, slides, pulls, locks, laminates, veneers, and edge banding are called out clearly, with schedules your purchasing team can order from.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are casework shop drawings?
Casework shop drawings are detailed fabrication drawings for cabinets and built-in storage units. They translate the architect's design intent into exact dimensions, materials, joinery, hardware, and installation details so the shop can build and install the casework correctly.
What is the difference between casework and millwork shop drawings?
Casework covers cabinets and box-type storage units, which are often modular or repeated. Millwork is the broader category that also includes trim, paneling, doors, and custom architectural woodwork. We draft both, and many projects need the two coordinated in one package.
Do your casework drawings meet AWI standards?
Yes. We draft to ANSI/AWI 0641 casework standards and to the AWI or AWMAC grade specified for your project, which is what most architects and GCs require for submittal approval.
Can you draft casework for healthcare and laboratory projects?
Yes. We regularly draft nurse stations, exam room casework, lab benches, and institutional storage, including ADA-compliant configurations and cleanable material callouts these projects require.
How fast can I get casework shop drawings?
Most casework packages ship in 3 to 5 business days depending on scope, with rush options for tight submittal deadlines.
What software do you use for casework drafting?
AutoCAD, Cabinet Vision, Microvellum, and SolidWorks. We match the tool to your workflow, and we can deliver CNC-ready files and cut lists along with the drawings.
