I can´t find the suitable verbs!

Hi,

imagine a wall that is made of laminated chipboard. My customers want to "build" inside this wall one showcase, I mean that, my assembly team should "make" a hole and add glass to create a showcase.

How can you describe all this?? The verbs between "" are in doubts, I cannot find better ones.

Thank you in advance

Hi,

If something is embedded in the wall, it means 'you build it into the wall'.

Dear Clive,

thanks.

So, I have seen that "embedded" is ok verb and I could say: "the showcase is embedded in the wall" that is of help, thanks.

Could it work also "a showcase inbuilt in the wall" ??

How do you say "to create hole in a wall"? I don´t think you use so many words to express the concept?!

Thanks
