At some point, they strip everything back to the raw van and do the plumbing, cut holes, and other rough-ins.
All these pictures are arranged in chronological order. They show how they build out significant segments of the interior, and then repeatedly remove them to do infrastructure work and to make modifications as necessary.
When everything is finalized, they once again remove everything and apply the veneers and other finishes:

At first, I thought this was crazy (it took me awhile to realize that much of the early "mockups" would survive into the final van.) They make skillful use of both CNC and manual craftsmanship to evolve a final design in many small steps. Many times during visits, we would say things like "that radius isn't quite right, and they would revise it in a few minutes. It sounds wasteful given the quality of the materials being used, I have concluded that it isn't. More often than not, the changes were simply applied to the existing piece, rather than discarding it. And when a new piece was needed, the old piece was most often simply reused for some smaller component. It was all quite impressive.
