Installation & Handover
A finished cabinet gives a misplaced hole very little room to hide. The work before drilling matters as much as the drilling itself: the cabinet must be ready, the position agreed and the mounting method understood. These lessons carry that care through installation and handover.
The same lessons serve a home renovation and a client project, with further detail where the work calls for it.
