Six service tracks, one integrated bench

LWRDFrames Detailing LLC designs computer integrated systems for framing and detailing workflows. The six tracks below can be commissioned separately, but they are built to fit together. Each one is delivered with written documentation, a live trial and a clear handover to your own crew.

The registry

What we design and install

Every track follows the same discipline: observe the real bench, name the joins, build quietly, test on live jobs, and leave the workshop with documents it can trust. Read each slat for the scope, the deliverables and the signs that it is the right next step.

Systems Blueprinting

Systems Blueprinting is the first track and the one that shapes the rest. We spend a working day inside your shop, watching estimates being prepared, drawings being revised, material being pulled and frames being assembled. We record every handoff and every place where a person re-enters information that already exists somewhere else. Those observations become a current-state map that your team can read without technical training.

From that map we build a future-state blueprint. It names the systems that stay, the systems that change, the data that must flow and the data that should remain local to one station. The blueprint also includes a staged rollout order, so a shop can adopt one change at a time rather than pausing production for a full rebuild. Deliverables include process diagrams, a data dictionary, a risk list and a written scope agreement.

Blueprinting is also useful as a standalone engagement. Teams preparing for a move, a new hire or a second location often commission the map alone, then return for the build when timing is right.

Workshop Network Integration

Framing studios rarely have a tidy network. A front office router added years ago may now serve a detailing room full of large files, a label printer that drops offline, and a shared drive that everyone treats as a backup. Workshop Network Integration replaces guesswork with a planned layout that matches how the shop actually works.

We survey the building, test signal strength at real workstations, and design wired and wireless coverage around benches rather than around walls. Traffic is segmented so bulk file transfers do not interfere with order entry, status boards or printer queues. Guest access is separated from production devices, and administrative credentials are documented and stored according to an agreed policy.

The engagement ends with a network diagram, a device register, recovery instructions and a short session with whoever will handle day-to-day questions. We also define what should happen during an internet outage, so the bench keeps moving on local tools while the connection recovers.

Custom Framing Software Setups

Many shops already own capable design and detailing software but use only a fraction of it. Custom Framing Software Setups tune those tools to the conventions of your workshop. We build reusable templates, material libraries, measurement presets, naming rules and output layouts, then test each one on a representative spread of live job types.

Configuration covers the details that cause daily friction: default units, rounding rules, lab code names, approval states and how a finished drawing is exported for the bench. Where a workflow gap remains, we build a small companion utility or a structured spreadsheet process rather than forcing a large platform into a shape it was never designed to take.

Every setup includes a short user guide, a template inventory and a change log. When a supplier changes a product line or a client demands a new report, the log tells the next technician what was customized and why.

Detailing Data Pipelines

Detailing Data Pipelines connect drawings, measurements, cut schedules and revision notes into one dependable flow. We identify the single source of truth for each data point, then automate the routine transfers that currently depend on memory and retyping. The aim is not to remove people from the process but to remove the repetitive conversions that invite error.

Pipelines include validation steps. A cut schedule is checked against the drawing it came from. A supplier file is verified for units and required fields before it enters the order desk. A revision is flagged wherever it affects a downstream document. When a check fails, the pipeline explains the failure in plain language rather than producing a silent mismatch.

Each pipeline ships with a runbook, a rollback path and a small dashboard that shows recent runs. If a feed fails overnight, your team will know before material is cut the next morning.

Studio Hardware Layouts

Studio Hardware Layouts place screens, scanners, label printers, workstations and shared devices where people naturally reach for them. We treat the bench as a working surface and measure sight lines, reaching distance and cable runs before recommending a single purchase. Existing equipment is reused wherever it can serve the new layout.

The layout plan covers power distribution, cable routing, device labeling and service access. Equipment that needs regular attention is placed where it can be reached without moving a bench. Network drops are positioned to match the planned workstations rather than the nearest wall.

Deliverables include a scaled layout drawing, a power and cabling schedule, a replacement plan for aging devices and a simple maintenance calendar. The goal is a bench that stays quiet and reliable during a busy week, with every device in a place that makes sense to the person using it.

Support and Maintenance

Support and Maintenance keep an integrated workshop honest over time. Shops change. Staff leave, product lines shift, suppliers revise formats and new job types appear. A system that worked in spring can quietly drift out of step by winter. Our maintenance work watches for that drift and corrects it before it reaches the bench.

Scheduled reviews check templates against current jobs, confirm that pipelines are still validating correctly, review device health and update documentation. Each review produces a short written report with changes made and items to watch. Support can be arranged as a monthly block of hours or as a defined response agreement with clear priorities.

All support plans include a direct line to our Cedar City workshop and a named contact. For urgent production issues, we agree on a response window in advance so expectations are clear on both sides.

Process overview

A sequence that protects production

Integration work should never put a working bench at risk. Our process is built so that every change has a tested path forward and a tested path back.

  1. Inquiry and fit check. We ask what stalls in your workshop, how many people touch the process, and what timing would suit a bench visit. If we are not the right fit, we say so early and explain why.
  2. Bench visit and listening. A full working day inside the shop. We observe, interview and photograph the flow of material and information, then share written notes within two business days.
  3. Blueprint and fixed scope. A clear current-state map, future-state proposal and list of decisions for your team. Scope, cost and timing are agreed in writing before build work begins.
  4. Staged build and live trial. Hardware is staged, software is configured and pipelines are tested on copies of live data. One job type runs end to end while the old path stays available.
  5. Training and handover. Runbooks, short training sessions and a support window. Your team leaves with documents it can use without asking us first.
  6. Ninety-day review. We return to confirm the system still matches the shop, adjust what has drifted and agree a maintenance rhythm.

Fit and boundaries

What is included, and what is not

Every engagement includes documentation for the work performed, a live trial before wider rollout and a handover session with the people who will run the system. It also includes a clear list of assumptions, because an integration plan is only as good as the facts beneath it.

We do not sell hardware for its own sake, and we do not ask a team to abandon a tool that already serves it well. We also exclude tasks that belong to licensed trades or regulated professions, such as electrical installation beyond low-voltage planning, structural engineering and legal advice. Where a project needs those skills, we coordinate with your existing providers.

Third-party subscriptions, equipment purchases and travel are quoted separately and approved in writing. Proposals name what is included, what is excluded and what depends on decisions your team must make.Ask about scope for your workshop →
