Show the whole wall
Include the ceiling, floor, and adjacent corners in your photos. Measure width and height in more than one place.
Built-ins and shelving
Built-ins begin with accurate wall measurements and a clear storage list. Trim, outlets, floor level, and installation access are accounted for before drawings are finalized. Selected projects are accepted based on scope and schedule.
Ask about built-ins and shelving- Build timing
- Confirmed after project review
Give everything a place

List what needs to be stored
List the books, records, equipment, display pieces, and closed storage that need a place.
Point out trim and utilities
Show baseboards, crown, outlets, switches, vents, and radiators near the proposed work.
Describe the installation access
