Custom joinery specification software

Give every drawing the detail behind it.

Custom joinery specification software helps you keep technical drawings, materials, hardware, dimensions and fabrication notes together, then issue the whole joinery package as one contractor pack.

ONE JOINERY RECORD

Keep the drawing and the specification together.

Upload the drawings produced in your drafting software, then keep the design intent, construction information and supporting specification around the same joinery item.

DESIGN INTENT

Record what the drawing alone cannot explain.

Capture the visual and construction intent behind the joinery so the contractor understands both the geometry and what matters in the finished result.

Entry Wardrobe

DESIGN INTENT NOTESCreate a full height entry wardrobe that reads as an integrated architectural element rather than freestanding furniture.

Maintain continuous vertical grain and concealed detailing throughout.

Put repeatable construction decisions into fields, not scattered drawing notes.

DRAWING REGISTER

Keep every joinery sheet attached to the item it describes.

Upload plans, elevations, sections, details, renders or reference sheets without separating them from the joinery specification.

DRAWING REGISTER

MATERIALS + HARDWARE

Specify the parts the drawing does not show clearly enough.

Keep substrates, finishes, hinges, runners, handles, rails and supports attached to the joinery package.

Materials and components stay structured, measurable and linked to the same item as the drawing.

MODULES

Describe the internal layout without drawing another sheet for every instruction.

Record module sizes and configuration notes directly against the joinery item when a structured instruction is clearer than another annotation.

Hanging rail, one fixed shelf and three adjustable shelves.

DIMENSIONS

Keep the critical dimensions easy to find.

Record key fabrication dimensions as searchable structured values instead of burying every important measurement inside a drawing.

Move across the values to see which area of the wardrobe each dimension describes.

FABRICATION DETAILS

Put the fabrication instructions where they cannot be missed.

Record the installation, material and workmanship requirements that are too important to leave as scattered notes across drawings.

D01FABRICATION DETAIL

Veneer grain alignment

All visible door fronts use vertical grain. Sequence match adjacent panels where possible and maintain grain continuity across the composition.

Attached toJ-01, Entry Wardrobe

Not every fabrication instruction belongs on the drawing.

Drawing

Shows geometry.

Details

Explain how it should be built.

Coordination

Explains what must happen around it.

COORDINATION

Record what has to happen before fabrication and installation.

Keep site, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, appliance or building interface requirements attached to the joinery item.

TECHNICAL NOTE

Verify the finished opening after wall, floor and ceiling finishes are complete.

Confirm 2465 W × 600 D × 2400 H mm design dimensions and record any irregularities before production.

Fabricate from verified site dimensions only.

QUANTITIES

Turn the specification into a measurable schedule.

Keep material and hardware quantities visible alongside the joinery record so the pack carries more than geometry.
