01 — COORDINATE

From the architectural set.

Send the full plans. We comb the entire scope for everything that falls under millwork — doors, casework, paneling, ceiling, fixtures — and coordinate shop drawings and submittals against the design.

02 — FABRICATE

Built in-house.

Fabricated and finished in our 5,000 sqft Hollywood factory — CNC, panel saw, edge bander, paint booth, finishing line — full control of quality, materials, and timeline. We don't outsource your project's most visible work.

03 — VERIFY

Field-verified.

We field-measure and coordinate with the site so the millwork fits the conditions — not just the plan. Fewer surprises on install day, fewer change orders later.

04 — INSTALL

Installed on schedule.

Delivered with our own three trucks and installed by our six-person crew, sequenced to your construction schedule. Clean execution, handed off ready for the next trade.

The Process

From the architectural set to handed-off install

How a bid becomes a finished install — the workflow we follow on every commercial project, from a GC's first call through the on-site final check.

PHASE 1

Bid & lock numbers

01SEND

You send the architectural set

Drop the full plans (PDF or DWG). We confirm receipt and read the entire set — not just the millwork pages — so nothing that could fall under our scope is missed.

PDF · DWG · Bid set No scope too small to read carefully
02ANALYZE

Full millwork scope analysis

We comb the entire set — doors, frames, architectural woodwork, wall & ceiling cladding, casework, fixtures, specialty — and flag every item that lives in millwork. We catch what other shops miss.

Doors · Casework · Cladding Ceiling · Fixtures · Specialty Nothing missed
03BID

Allowance-based proposal — in 48 hours

You get a full proposal on an allowance basis where the design isn't fully resolved, with line items mapped to the set. Fast turnaround so you can keep your bid on schedule.

48-hour turnaround Line items mapped to plan sheets Need a firm number now? If the architectural set is fully detailed end-to-end, we can deliver final pricing in the same 48-hour window — no allowances required.
04RFI

RFIs to convert allowances into firm numbers

When you're closer to closing, we issue a complete RFI for every uncertain item. Once answered, allowances become final pricing. If RFIs aren't answered, we'll advise final numbers — but the most accurate pricing always requires fully detailed plans.

Comprehensive RFI list Allowances → firm numbers Our advice to estimators: the more detailed the plans, the tighter the bid. We don't pad for risk — we ask the right questions instead.
PHASE 2

Build & install

05DRAW

Shop drawings — at the highest level

Once approved, our drafters produce shop drawings at the highest level possible: every joint, every cleat, every detail labeled and dimensioned. If the project needs structural engineering, we bring it in.

Every detail labeled Structural engineering on request Coordinated against the set
06SAMPLE

Samples for every finish — simultaneously

Running in parallel with shop drawings, we produce a physical sample for every finish as specified by the plans or as answered in the RFI. Nothing gets approved by description alone.

Every finish, sampled Stains · paints · laminates · stone Approved before fab
07SCHEDULE

Locked schedule + live production visibility

Once drawings, samples, and RFIs are signed off, we lock the production and install schedule against your construction timeline. You get day-to-day communication on material ordering and fabrication — a live view of where we are, every day.

Milestone-driven Day-to-day comms Live progress visibility We abide by every milestone we commit to. If something shifts on your side, we re-sequence — we don't surprise you.
08INSTALL

Delivery, install & on-site checks through completion

Delivered by our own three trucks and installed by our six-person install crew. We stay on-site for verification checks all the way through completion — the next trade gets a clean handoff.

Who we are

Three generations of master carpentry

Built from the bench up.

Metro Millwork is the shop arm of a family carpentry business founded by Herman Alter more than 40 years ago — a trade passed down three generations. Today we run a full commercial millwork operation out of our 5,000 sqft factory in Hollywood, FL, equipped with the latest fabrication technology.

  • Local Hollywood shop — fast coordination, field visits, and installs across South Florida.
  • One team fabricates and installs — fewer handoffs, cleaner results.
  • We coordinate directly with GC, construction, and design teams when needed.

FAQ for estimators & GCs

The questions that actually matter

From the moment we receive your full architectural set, we deliver an allowance-based bid in 48 hours. If the plans are detailed end-to-end and no RFIs are required, that same 48-hour window can deliver final pricing on the entire project. Either way, you get a complete scope mapped to the plan sheets — not a one-line number.

The highest level possible. Every joint, every cleat, every reveal, every detail labeled and dimensioned. When the scope requires it, we bring in structural engineers for stamps and load calculations. Drawings are coordinated against the architectural set and the RFI responses, so what gets built matches what got approved.

Initial bids carry allowances on items where the design isn't fully resolved — that's how we keep your turnaround at 48 hours. As you move toward closing, we issue a complete RFI covering every uncertain line, and once it's answered we convert allowances into firm pricing. We don't pad for risk — we ask the right questions instead. The cleanest pricing always comes from the most detailed plans.

Once shop drawings, samples, and RFIs are approved, we lock fabrication and install dates against your construction timeline. You get day-to-day communication on material ordering and shop production — a live view of where we are. We commit to milestones and we abide by them. If something shifts on your side, we re-sequence without surprises.

Yes. Samples for every finish — stains, paints, laminates, veneer, hardware, stone where applicable — produced simultaneously with shop drawings. Nothing gets approved by description alone; the design team signs off on the physical sample before any of it goes into fabrication.

Six dedicated installers, three delivery trucks, and our own field-measurement crew. We deliver and install with our own people — not subbed out. We stay on site for verification checks all the way through completion, so the next trade gets a clean handoff.

Commercial and luxury residential common areas across South Florida — work at projects including Porsche Design Tower, Armani Residences, Regalia (Sunny Isles), and alongside GCs and developers like City Construction Group and Dezer Development. We take on office buildouts, retail, restaurants, hospitality, medical, and high-end residential common areas.

24/6 — on call from Sunday through Friday evening. The shop is closed Friday night through Saturday night (Sabbath). The fastest way to reach us is WhatsApp — messages get a reply in under 5 minutes during operating hours, including for active jobs in install. Phone calls are answered the same way.

Yes. We coordinate directly with the GC, the design team, and ownership in whatever combination the project needs. We protect design intent through shop drawings and the RFI/sample loop, and we report back to the GC so the construction schedule stays intact.

Yes. Our 5,000 sqft Hollywood factory runs CNC routers, sliding-table panel saws, automatic edge banders, a controlled-environment finishing line, and a paint booth, plus secure on-site material storage and our own three-truck delivery fleet. Everything is fabricated and finished in-house — we don't outsource your project's most visible work.
