Scott Till, Senior Operations and Construction Executive<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cI worked directly with the Director of Procurement to find and hire an Asian millwork company to develop a millwork package that replicated what we were building stateside. We had to deal with some challenging scenarios, language barriers, time zone coordination, code compliances, schedules with fabrication and deliveries, and customs, among others,\u201d Till said.<\/p>\n

Till understood how the millwork was installed in the United States so he designed new a system of parts and pieces that could be put together simply. The new manufacturing design allowed his company to maintain a typical one-week installation time frame in the U.S.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to manage and overcome many of the obstacles by communicating regularly, sending many drawings, sketches, photos, and making regular visits.\u201d<\/p>\n

Typically, millwork is built fully-assembled in the US, so when it arrives on site it can be set in place, thereby minimizing over handling. \u201cDue to shipping container constraints, we could not ship the new millwork fully assembled. My system could be shipped in component form, thus saving space in the containers and saving the company over $50K in shipping costs,\u201d said Till.<\/p>\n
