How We Work

A structured manufacturing process built for hospitality projects.

Wharton Hunt operates as a trade-only custom hospitality furniture manufacturer. Our process is designed to bring clarity, accountability, and precision to complex commercial projects.

From early design collaboration through final delivery coordination, each phase is managed with oversight and communication.

Start a Project

  • 01 / Design Collaboration

    Translating design intent into manufacturable solutions.

    We begin by reviewing drawings, specifications, finish schedules, and performance requirements. Our role at this stage is to align design vision with structural feasibility, durability standards, and production realities.

    During this phase, we:

    • Review specifications and scope
    • Clarify performance expectations
    • Identify structural considerations
    • Confirm materials and finishes
    • Establish preliminary timelines

    Early alignment reduces downstream revisions and protects installation schedules.

  • 02 / Engineering & Prototyping

    Precision begins before production.

    Our team develops detailed shop drawings and technical documentation to confirm dimensional accuracy, material selections, joinery methods, and hardware placement.

    When required, we produce prototypes or samples for review and approval.

    This phase includes:

    • Production-ready shop drawings
    • Material callouts and finish verification
    • Structural reinforcement planning
    • Prototype development and evaluation
    • Revision and approval cycles

    Clear documentation minimizes field issues and protects project timelines.

  • 03 / Manufacturing

    Built to specification. Scaled with oversight.

    Once approved, production moves forward through our structured manufacturing network. Every piece is built-to-order according to finalized drawings and specifications.

    Our manufacturing capabilities include:

    • Custom seating fabrication
    • Hospitality casegoods production
    • Specialty detailing and finish matching
    • Multi-property program scaling
    • Coordinated phased production schedules

    Oversight remains active throughout production to ensure alignment with approved documentation.

  • 04 / Quality Control

    Inspection is continuous, not final.

    Quality control is integrated into the production lifecycle, not reserved for the end.

    We manage:

    • In-process inspections
    • Structural verification
    • Finish consistency checks
    • Prototype comparison
    • Final production inspections
    • Packaging review

    Our oversight model ensures consistency across both small-scale and large-scale hospitality programs.

  • 05 / Logistics & Delivery

    Coordinated execution through installation.

    Hospitality projects demand precise delivery timing.

    We coordinate freight planning and shipment schedules to align with construction timelines and phased openings.

    This includes:

    • Freight coordination
    • Phased shipment scheduling
    • Installation alignment
    • Communication with on-site teams

    Our objective is a seamless transition from manufacturing to installation.

Built for professionals who require structure.

Wharton Hunt supports interior designers, procurement firms, and hospitality ownership groups who require disciplined production management and dependable execution.

We operate exclusively as a trade-only manufacturer.

If your project demands clarity, precision, and coordinated delivery, we are ready to collaborate.
