Cabinetry and Architectural Millwork Deals

I’ve been seeing more interest in acquiring millwork and cabinetry businesses lately.
One thing that consistently gets underestimated in diligence:
The gap between estimating assumptions and actual production throughput.
On paper, margins look solid.
On the floor, labor flow, rework, and engineering constraints tell a different story.
That disconnect tends to show up quickly post-close.
Curious how others are evaluating this in deals.
Happy to compare notes with anyone actively looking at deals in this space.
