Millwork Details That Prevent Change Orders
Many millwork changes come from missing details. Clarifying dimensions, finishes, hardware, and site fit can reduce avoidable surprises.
Where change orders start
Change orders often appear when the drawing leaves a decision open. The site team then has to choose during production or installation.
- Unknown wall conditions
- Unclear appliance clearances
- Missing hardware notes
- Unconfirmed finish transitions
Details to lock down
Millwork needs more than a front elevation. Sections, reveals, materials, and installation constraints should be visible before pricing.
- Cabinet depths
- Toe kicks and fillers
- Door swings
- Lighting and power coordination
A better handoff
A clearer drawing helps the designer protect the intent and helps the builder price the work with fewer assumptions.
