Millwork is historically any wood mill produced decorative materials used in building construction.

Stock profiled and patterned millwork building components fabricated by milling at a planing mill can usually be installed with minimal alteration.

Today, millwork may encompass items that are made using alternatives to wood, including synthetics, plastics, and wood-adhesive composites.

Building information modeling (BIM) is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of the physical and functional characteristics of places.

BIM is supported by various tools, technologies and contracts.

Building information models (BIMs) are computer files (often but not always in proprietary formats and containing proprietary data) which can be extracted, exchanged or networked to support decision-making regarding a built asset.

BIM software is used by individuals, businesses and government agencies who plan, design, construct, operate and maintain buildings and diverse physical infrastructures, such as water, refuse, electricity, gas, communication utilities, roads, railways, bridges, ports and tunnels.

3D rendering is the 3D computer graphics process of converting 3D models into 2D images on a computer.

3D renders may include photorealistic effects or non-photorealistic styles.

An architectural drawing or architect's drawing is a technical drawing of a building (or building project) that falls within the definition of architecture.

Architectural drawings are used by architects and others for a number of purposes: to develop a design idea into a coherent proposal, to communicate ideas and concepts, to convince clients of the merits of a design, to assist a building contractor to construct it based on design intent, as a record of the design and planned development, or to make a record of a building that already exists.

A shop drawing is a drawing or set of drawings produced by the contractor, supplier, manufacturer, subcontractor, consultants, or fabricator.

Shop drawings are typically required for prefabricated components.

Examples of these include: elevators, structural steel, trusses, pre-cast concrete, windows, appliances, cabinets, air handling units, and millwork.

Also critical are the installation and coordination shop drawings of the MEP trades such as sheet metal ductwork, piping, plumbing, fire protection, and electrical.

Shop drawings are produced by contractors and suppliers under their contract with the owner.

The shop drawing is the manufacturer’s or the contractor’s drawn version of information shown in the construction documents.

The shop drawing normally shows more detail than the construction documents.

It is drawn to explain the fabrication and/or installation of the items to the manufacturer’s production crew or contractor's installation crews.

The style of the shop drawing is usually very different from that of the architect’s drawing.

The shop drawing’s primary emphasis is on the particular product or installation and excludes notation concerning other products and installations, unless integration with the subject product is necessary.
