Architectural Woodwork That Elevates Your Brand
Commercial millwork defines the character of professional spaces—from the reception desk that creates a first impression to the wall paneling in executive offices and boardrooms, display cases in retail environments, and bar tops in restaurants. Custom commercial millwork requires precise fabrication, durable construction, and installation that meets commercial building codes and fire ratings.
Lion Construction Management delivers commercial millwork solutions across NYC. We build and install reception desks, conference room built-ins, retail display fixtures, restaurant and bar millwork, wall panels with integrated lighting, ceiling coffers, and architectural wood elements that reinforce your brand identity. All commercial millwork meets applicable fire-rating requirements and is constructed with materials rated for commercial use.
Our team coordinates millwork fabrication with your overall construction schedule, managing shop drawings, approvals, fabrication timelines, and installation sequencing so millwork arrives and installs at exactly the right point in your project.

Precise on-site installation with scribing to walls and ceilings, level and plumb adjustments, and seamless joints. We protect finished surfaces throughout the process.
On-site finishing including caulking, filling, sanding, priming, and final paint or stain application. We ensure every detail is flawless before project completion.
Custom millwork is what transforms a renovated space from "updated" to "designed." Built-in bookshelves, wainscoting, crown molding, coffered ceilings, window seats, and architectural paneling give a home character and craft that no amount of off-the-shelf furniture can replicate. But millwork quality is entirely a function of who builds and installs it. Joints must be tight, reveals must be consistent, paint-grade surfaces must be sanded to perfection, and stain-grade pieces must be selected for grain and color match. Lion Construction Management's millwork capabilities span CNC-cut components and hand-finished details — we control the process from shop drawings through final installation and finishing. The result is millwork that looks like it's always been part of your home.
Yes. We design and build custom reception desks, lobby features, host stands, retail counters, and front-of-house millwork elements that create strong first impressions and reinforce your brand identity. We work from your designer's drawings or can develop designs in-house.
In many cases, yes. NYC building code requires certain interior finishes to meet flame spread ratings (Class A, B, or C) depending on building type and occupancy. We specify and install millwork materials that meet applicable fire ratings and can provide documentation for building inspections.
Absolutely. Millwork installation must be sequenced correctly with painting, electrical, and other trades. Lion Construction Management manages this coordination as part of our construction management services, ensuring millwork is installed at the optimal point in the construction schedule.
Commercial millwork typically requires 6–10 weeks for fabrication after shop drawing approval. Complex projects with specialty veneers, metals, or large quantities may take longer. We account for these lead times in our project schedules and begin fabrication early to prevent delays.
Lion Construction Management provides custom millwork services across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Nassau County Long Island—including Garden City, Great Neck, Manhasset, Roslyn, Merrick, and surrounding communities.
