Custom Built-ins

Bookcases, media walls, window seats and fitted storage. Built-ins occupy the space between cabinetry and architecture. They must fit imperfect rooms while allowing doors, drawers, ventilation and wiring to work.

Painted built-in bookcase and media cabinetry

Plan the work

Inventory what the unit stores. Confirm screen sizes, equipment ventilation, cable paths, outlet access, shelf spans and how the installation meets baseboards and crown.

Define the scope

Separate shop-built cabinetry from site-applied trim and finishing. Document interiors, backs, hardware, lighting, counters, paint and responsibility for electrical work.

Useful information for an enquiry

Include the project location, current photos, plans if available, approximate dimensions, desired finish and timing. For renovations, show adjacent surfaces that remain.

What careful installation involves

Units are levelled and secured to appropriate structure, then scribed to adjacent surfaces. Fillers and face details absorb site variation while preserving even openings.
