One build, start to finish
No mystery. No disappearing act.
You should be able to see the work taking shape—and understand every decision along the way. Here is one real Chavanelle project from raw plywood to finished installation.

01 Start with the use
Define the real job.
Before material is ordered, we work out what the piece needs to hold, how people will move around it, and which details cannot be compromised.
02 Build it full scale
Give the idea its bones.
Frames, arches, doors, and storage are assembled at full scale so proportions and function can be checked before the finish hides the joinery.
03 Finish every surface
Make it unmistakably theirs.
The build is filled, sanded, primed, and painted until the color and surface feel deliberate from every angle—not only from the front.
04 Deliver it ready
Fit the final piece in place.
The finished components are transported, installed, aligned, and walked with the client. The job is not done until the whole space works as one.
You always know where the work stands.
One point of contact, direct updates, honest expectations, and no shortcuts hidden behind the finish.
