Three: you would need skilled wood workers to make work progress faster. Four: keep a list of suppliers and potential customers (if you still do not have regular paying ones.) And lastly: you would of course, need the necessary tools of the trade. The millwork industry has been in existence ever since man started using wood millwork both for commercial and decorative purposes. Millwork encompasses a wide range of ready made carpentry, and because people are still favoring the use of wood based products for home and office development, you can be assured of always having a steady stream of customers.
You should know that this is a rather pricey kind of business enterprise that would require skilled workers and professional tools or machineries. However, if you would like to join the bandwagons of the more creative millwork companies – those companies that do not cater to commercial mass production of millwork – then you are free to do so, on a less expensive ticket too. So let’s pick apart some of the basic elements on how to start a millwork shop.
One: yes, you would need funds. Like all businesses, you would need a certain overhead expense account in order to start this business. More importantly though, you would need those funds to buy the necessary raw materials, particularly the wood you would need for client orders. There are some millwork companies that specialize in one type wood only; or at least, one class of wood (either hardwood or softwood.) There are also companies that specialize in an assortment of millwork carpentry jobs that require an assortment of raw materials. You would need to decide on the onset, what kind of wood you would like to use or type of carpentry job you would like to engage in (i.e. shop furniture, molding millwork, pine millwork, millwork trim, etc.)
Two: you would of course, need a place to establish your business – and nothing too small either. For one thing, millwork lumber is rather bulky, and so will your finished products like millwork furniture or millwork doors. Also, you would need a clear space to create your own millwork design and your actual work area to carry out those designs.
Three: you would need the hands of skilled wood workers. Although most millwork companies are now utilizing machines, you may want to start on a less grandiose scale. You could always run this business as a one-man or one-woman enterprise, but you would still need help should you want to accommodate multiple orders. Skilled help can always make your business boom by making work progress faster.
Four: always keep a list of suppliers and potential customers (if you still do not have regular paying ones.) By having a list of suppliers and knowing their price ranges (wood prices fluctuate too), you can avail yourself of discount raw materials which should be more profitable for you.
Lastly: you would of course, need the necessary tools of the trade. Depending on what you really want to work on and hope to sell, your tools or machineries should be sufficient enough of an investment that it will pay for them in the long run.
