From the DWG to the estimate
We take the file, read the detailing and return an itemised estimate without redrawing your design on our own initiative.

Projects
Three different conversations: the one with whoever specifies, the one with whoever runs a short-let, and the one with whoever needs to know where joinery ends.
For architects and interior designers
We work from your detail drawings
A professional who specifies joinery is worth many one-off commissions — and there is not, in this market, a single page written for them.

Prototype and sample
A finish sample and a joint prototype before any series production. [CONFIRM whether samples are charged]
Revision workflow
One version of the drawing at a time, with a record of what changed and who approved it. Without that, a revision turns into a scope argument.
Install-day coordination
Who goes in first, what has to be ready on site, and what the workshop brings. [CONFIRM whether there is a site visit beforehand]
[CONFIRM whether the studio takes trade work from architects and designers, and on what terms] No channel policy was given to us, and none has been assumed here.

Guesthouses and holiday properties
Series work for guest rooms, and the wear of a short-let interior
A different buyer and a different cycle. A guesthouse room is used by strangers, every day, and its joinery is a durability problem before it is an aesthetic one.
[CONFIRM whether the workshop serves this segment] The lead sheet mentions “high-ticket pieces for regional properties”, which on this island usually means second homes and guesthouses — but that is our reading, not their statement.
Repetition with tolerance
Twelve identical rooms are twelve different openings. A series piece needs its adjustment clearance designed in, not improvised on the day.
Spare parts
A door, a drawer and hardware held as spares are worth more than a sophisticated finish. Break it in high season and you swap it rather than rebuild it.
Reception and common areas
The reception counter is the one piece every guest touches. It is treated as commercial furniture, not domestic furniture.
The works window
Guesthouses refit out of season. The production calendar has to fit the window, and that is agreed in advance. [CONFIRM schedule availability]
How we work with other trades
What a joinery workshop does not do
Saying this out loud prevents the most common scope argument in the trade, which is finding out on delivery day that the countertop was never included.
Stone countertops belong to the marmoraria
Granite, marble, quartz and a carved basin are another trade and another measurement — taken after the joinery is installed and levelled.
Glass and mirror belong to the vidraceiro
A glass door, a closet mirror and a glass shelf come through a specific supplier, with the measurement taken on site.
Upholstery belongs to the tapeceiro
An upholstered bedhead, a bench with a seat pad and a window cushion combine a joinery structure with an upholsterer’s covering.
[CONFIRM the real partners — no third party’s name appears on this site without written permission]
Service area
The twelve areas from the brief — none of them confirmed
This list came from the brief, not from the workshop. No area has been confirmed as served, and the diagram beside it is a drawing rather than a map: with no workshop address there is no origin to draw a radius from.
- Campeche[CONFIRM]
- Rio Tavares[CONFIRM]
- Lagoa da Conceição[CONFIRM]
- Ingleses[CONFIRM]
- Santo Antônio de Lisboa[CONFIRM]
- Centro[CONFIRM]
- Jurerê[CONFIRM]
- Santinho[CONFIRM]
- Ribeirão da Ilha[CONFIRM]
- São José[CONFIRM]
- Palhoca[CONFIRM]
- Biguacu[CONFIRM]
[CONFIRM which of these areas the workshop actually serves, and whether it delivers beyond Grande Florianópolis] Five of them already have a page of their own as a local-search base; the other seven stay as a list until they are confirmed.
Cannot find your neighbourhood? Ask — the real coverage is still to be defined.
Schematic of the areas listed, no scale. Not a map, and not a representation of real coverage. [CONFIRM]
