JD Millwork · LLC
Engineering Services

Shop drawings the shop can actually build from.

Outsourced and overflow architectural millwork engineering for design firms, general contractors, and millwork shops. Drawings produced by an engineer who has spent fifteen years on the floors that have to build them.

What's Delivered

Full packages or surgical capacity.

Engineering work runs from full submittal-ready shop drawing packages down to a single elevation that needs another set of eyes before it goes out. Both are equally welcome.

The end deliverable is built around the shop, not around what's easy to draw. Full-dimensioned plans, sections, elevations, and details. Hardware schedules that reference real part numbers. Cut lists that actually nest.

Scope of Work

Capabilities

Casework & Built-Ins

Frameless and face-frame cabinet engineering for residential and commercial applications. Bespoke configurations, integrated appliances, custom hardware schedules.

  • Kitchens, vanities, libraries, mudrooms
  • Frameless 32mm system & face-frame
  • Integrated appliance details
  • Tested constructibility before release

Architectural Detailing

The non-cabinet side of millwork — paneled walls, ceiling-height paneling, stairs, trim, decorative columns, arched openings, and decorative portals.

  • Wall & ceiling paneling systems
  • Stairs & handrail engineering
  • Arched openings & portals
  • Stone-clad column & bracket systems

Hardware & Specification

Hardware specified for the application — Blum Tandem and Tip-On, Grass Dynapro, concealed hinges, pull-outs, lift systems. Real part numbers, real schedules.

  • Blum & Grass core lines
  • Concealed & soft-close systems
  • Lift, slide, and pivot mechanisms
  • Specialty hospitality hardware

Production Output

CNC-ready output that drops into the existing toolchain — cut lists, nest-ready files, and submittal coordination through redline cycles.

  • CNC-ready cut lists & nest prep
  • AutoCAD & Mozaik native files
  • Submittal & redline turnaround
  • Coordination with offshore CAD teams
How Engagements Work

Three ways to put me to work.

Engagement Model

Per-Package

Fixed scope, fixed fee. You hand over the design intent and architect's drawings; you receive a complete shop drawing package on agreed milestones.

Best for: a single project, a one-off engineering scope, or a deliverable with a clean boundary.

Engagement Model

Hourly Overflow

You have your own engineering team but a deadline that's outrunning capacity. I plug in for blocks of hours, work to your standards and your title block, and hand back the files.

Best for: established millwork shops or design firms with a temporary capacity gap.

Have a package that needs to go out clean?

Send me the architect's drawings and a target date. We'll work back from there.
