Corporate Office and Fit-out Millwork Detailing Both have to ship on the same date.

Volume without drift.

Storage walls, tea points, meeting room units and workstation elements repeat across a floor plate. The detail has to be consistent, and consistency at volume comes from convention rather than from care.

Feature items that are genuinely difficult.

Reception desks, boardroom tables and feature walls are frequently the only items on the project that need modelling, and they are usually drawn last under the most pressure.

Interfaces with other trades.

Partitions, ceilings, raised floors and services all meet the millwork somewhere, and the tolerance responsibility at those junctions is rarely stated in the documents.

Programme compression.

Fit-out programmes shorten from both ends. Design finalises late, handover does not move, and the drawing window absorbs the difference.

The feature item detailed last.

Left until the routine casework is done, then drawn under pressure, then found to be unbuildable as designed.

Junctions where nobody owns the tolerance.

Millwork meeting a partition that was set out from a different datum, discovered at installation.

Acoustic and service requirements added late.

A requirement appearing in a revised specification after the carcass was already dimensioned.

Capacity absorbed by revisions.

The first issue was planned; three rounds of comments were not, and they land in the same week as the next project.
