custom millwork to full projects with high design elements. Those hospitality projects include restaurants, bars, brewpubs, and hotels. “We prefer those types of projects because of how much thought goes into the designs,” James says. “The drawings tend to be very detailed – and the more detailed the drawing, the better the project.” Woodbecker now employs a team of roughly 25 people, including project managers, project coordinators, administrative staff, financial staff, and 15 carpenters and assistant carpenters. They are fully equipped with an 8,000 square foot millwork shop, which allows them to handle a wide variety of construction projects. “In construction management, having our millwork shop in-house sets us apart from competition,” James explains. “It enables us to fabricate our millwork on our schedule, with high-quality work, lower production time, and smooth coordination on site.” The shop also includes a separate division for the high-end millwork installations that require custom fabrication. “Sometimes, it can be hard to find people who can build a feature wall,” James explains. “We don’t have that problem, because we typically do that work ourselves.” A great advantage is the depth of experience and expertise Woodbecker has within their team; their project managers have a range of experience, with backgrounds in architecture, finance, and engineering, and “they add a lot to projects because of their ability to see the big picture,” James says.
