Built for Ontario requirements
- Accessible service counters. New and replacement service counters may be subject to the AODA Design of Public Spaces Standard, and projects within the Ontario Building Code‘s scope may also need its barrier-free counter dimensions. The architect or accessibility consultant confirms what applies; we draw the approved heights and clearances into the shop drawings before fabrication.
- Building code requirements that affect millwork, such as flame-spread limits where millwork forms part of a wall or ceiling finish. See millwork code compliance.
- Public-sector and institutional procurement. See qualifications and Ontario procurement and institutional millwork.
- Invoicing, stored-material documentation and holdback handled to the project contract and Ontario’s Construction Act. See stored materials and billing.
Single stores and rollout programs
For a single store we work with your designer or GC from drawings through fabrication, delivery and installation coordination. For a program, we build a pilot, incorporate the approved revisions and produce every store to that standard, holding finished fixtures at our facility and releasing them to each opening date. For L’Occitane North America we have produced fixtures for more than 60 locations in four store formats: inline, outlet, kiosk and airport. See retail store fixtures and rollout programs.
