Approach

How the work runs

Four stages. The millwork is drawn before anything is ordered, and the install is treated as its own trade rather than the end of another one.

01

Drawings and site measure

We measure the room as built, not as drawn. Every cabinet, panel and door is detailed against those numbers, and nothing is cut until the shop drawings are agreed.

02

Fabrication

Millwork is built as one package rather than piece by piece, so grain, reveals and hardware match across a whole floor before any of it reaches the site.

03

Build and coordination

The license covers general building, framing and finish carpentry, so one team carries the job from demolition through to the trim. We work alongside your architect and designer.

04

Install and handover

Install is scheduled last and run as its own trade: scribes, reveals, alignment, hardware, lighting. The punch list is walked on site, not emailed.

Principal

Yogev Katz

Yogev Katz incorporated Katz Construction in Los Angeles in 2020 and holds California license 1065882.

He is the responsible managing officer and the only name on the license. One name signs for the work, and it is the name of the person running it.
