You build
the casework.
We handle the rest.
Win more bids. Redraw less. Depend on no single person.
Prepared by TurnKey for Marty Hammond and Grant Hicks
Casework runs on a thin margin.
These are the leaks in it.
5%
of every project is rework
Construction Industry Institute, 359 projects
8–12%
of change-order work is never billed
approvals live in texts and never reach accounting
47%
of trades pros say woodworkers are the hardest hire
2026 survey of 500 U.S. trades professionals
The average architectural woodwork shop keeps about 2.7 cents of every dollar. One leak erases a good job.

Four people. Nearly ninety years of combined answers. No backup copy.
Bid more.
Rework less.
Sleep better.
Quotes go out faster, and they match each other.
Plan sets and specs get read for you. Scope items stop slipping. Two people pricing the same job land in the same place.
Plans stop getting redrawn from a blank screen.
Architect PDFs come in; a room-by-room casework schedule with sizes, materials, and finish codes comes out, ready for your detailer to load.
Every sheet, spec, and handwritten markup becomes searchable.
Field measures, takeoff notes, shop-floor redlines. Even the ones only one person can read today.
Nobody on your floor changes how they work. They just stop waiting.
How it works, in three steps
-
1
Audit, then prove one win
Weeks one to four. We walk the shop, pick the biggest bottleneck, and put one fix live on real jobs. You see the number move before you commit further.
-
2
Build it, host it
Everything runs on our infrastructure, wrapped around how you already work. Your team keeps uploading the same PDFs and writing the same notes.
-
3
Run it, report it
We keep it running, tune it as jobs change, and send you the numbers every month. Hours saved, bids out, errors caught.
Your data stays yours.
Your CAD stays your CAD.

Open source, hosted by us, owned by you.
No per-seat licenses. Nothing locked in a vendor's cloud. Every file and every record is exportable the day you ask.
An assistant that knows every job.
Ask it what the finish schedule calls for on the Bacon County set, which room had the door-swing change, or what's due this week. It answers from your own documents.
Three ways to start
Build and run
Most shops start here
$25,000 build
then $3,500 a month
- Searchable archive, handwriting included
- Plan intake to structured takeoff
- Bid pipeline and job dashboards
- Backups, sign-on, monthly reporting
With the assistant
$40,000 build
then $6,000 a month
- Everything in Build and run
- An assistant that knows every job, for Marty
- Agents for submittals and purchasing
- Quarterly on-site tuning
For scale: one estimator costs $110,000 a year, loaded. One bad bid erases two good jobs.
It pays for itself,
or you don't pay.
- Pilot
- Miss the agreed outcome and you get a full refund.
- Build and run
- Miss the agreed targets at ninety days and we work free until they're met.
- With the assistant
- Miss the agreed metrics in any month and that month's fee is paused.
Guaranteed
