Custom Architectural Casework & Millwork

---

Casework

The term casework has a specific meaning in the woodworking industry: it refers to wood cases, or boxes. Therefore, casework literally means ‘box making.’ The types of casework ‘boxes’ include built-in cabinets, bookcases, kitchen island drawers, cupboards, and many other forms of storage cabinetry. The parts may either be partially prefabricated and assembled later onsite, like a pre-manufactured fitted kitchen, for example, or the parts may be completely prefabricated based on standard measurements. Casework can also be made completely from scratch, according to unique measurements.

Millwork

As the name implies, millwork is woodwork that has been fabricated in a mill. The term refers to any number of products, from doors and panels to moldings and trims. These are typically bespoke pieces that are installed onsite, based on the customized specifications of the clients. Therefore, millwork products are oftentimes unique in dimensions, shapes, and materials. It follows that casework is therefore actually a type of millwork.

Common examples of casework include:

• Cabinets
• Bookcases
• Reception desks
• Courtroom tables and desks
• Nurses stations
