 Partner with us

At The Millwork Studio, our mission is to set the global benchmark for millwork drafting and shop drawing services. As a world leader in millwork design, we combine advanced technology with deep expertise to deliver drafting solutions that empower architects, builders and millwork shops to create spaces beyond imagination. Every day, we strive to redefine what’s possible in millwork, turning complex ideas into beautiful, buildable realities and shaping the future of construction and design.

Our Approach

We’re brought in when workload increases, deadlines tighten, or internal teams are already at capacity. Our role is simple: keep projects moving without forcing you to hire, train, or slow production.
 

Every project starts with understanding how your shop builds — not just what the plans show. We structure drawings around fabrication and installation so approvals translate directly into production instead of revisions.
 

Our team works as an extension of yours. Consistent turnaround, predictable cost, and documentation your shop and field can rely on. The goal isn’t impressive drawings — it’s fewer interruptions once material is ordered.

How It All Started

Our Founder

Richie Barrieau

Orlando, FL

As Founder of The Millwork Studio, I live at the intersection of tradition and transformation. From the first pencil line on a shop drawing to the last piece coming off the shop floor, I’ve built my career on pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in millwork.

Millwork has always been in my blood. I grew up with the hum of saws and the scent of fresh wood, learning early that great projects are born from equal parts creativity, engineering, and relentless detail. What started on the production floor evolved into decades of hands-on experience, now expanded into leading an international studio trusted by over 200 millwork companies worldwide.

But I don’t just “do” millwork. I rethink it. I’ve seen the bottlenecks, the inefficiencies, the outdated approaches, and I’ve dedicated my work to building smarter systems that don’t just meet today’s demands but shape the future of the industry. From reimagining shop drawing processes to pioneering advanced estimating systems, my mission is clear: revolutionize how millwork is designed, built, and delivered.

The Millwork Studio isn’t just a service - it’s a movement. We’re proving that with the right vision, teams, and technology, millwork can achieve speed, accuracy, and scalability never thought possible.

My ultimate goal? To position millwork where it belongs, as one of the most innovative and respected industries in the world.
