The drawings come from the art department. The date comes from the schedule.
NYC FAB builds film and television sets in New York: walls, floors, facades, platforms, built-in furniture, hero props and practical lighting. Every piece is drawn, sampled where the finish matters and built to read correctly on camera.

Questions buyers ask
Can you work from the art department’s drawings?
Yes. We build from construction drawings, elevations and references, and return shop drawings for any piece that needs engineering or a decision on materials.
Do you finish for close-up?
Yes. Scenic artists match finishes to references and test them on camera-facing samples before production.
Can you strike and store the set between seasons?
Yes. We strike, crate and store sets and set pieces, and bring them back for the next season or reshoot.
