Architectural millwork is the process of producing various types of woodwork to be used internally and externally on architectural projects, both for practical and aesthetic purposes. Millwork can either be customized based on something specific a client wants. Architectural millwork covers the whole process, from using raw lumber to creating a finished product. Types of millwork commonly specified by architects include, casework, wall paneling, trim, countertops, staircases, and decorative moldings for various structures of a building, such as pillars. Decorative components are either mass-produced based on common sizes and designs, or they can be based on customized designs.
