Architectural Services Representatives
The Woodwork Institute’s Architectural Services Representatives provide a wealth of knowledge to the architectural community and the construction industry. Their primary focus is compliance verification (inspection services) through the Woodwork Institute’s Certified Compliance, Monitored Compliance, and Certified Seismic Installation programs.
Concentrating on the design community, our Architectural Services Representatives are available to review specifications, answer millwork-related questions, consult on design issues, and present seminars for continuing education units that meet the requirements of the American Institute of Architects. Architectural Services Representatives are also available to assist a design professional should they need an impartial opinion about millwork fabricated or installed on a project.
Focusing on fabricators and installers, our Architectural Services Representatives are available for free and unbiased consultation regarding specification interpretation, compliance issues, shop-drawing protocol, standards interpretations, and other matters. Under certain circumstances, there may be a fee for an inspection.
