How joiners and carpenters help a construction project

Joinery and carpentry services include the construction, erection and repair of wooden and in some cases, metal structures – used in commercial and residential buildings. Local joiners and carpenters are also involved in the construction of large structures like bridges, dams and other civil engineering infrastructures. To give you further details of both roles, read on for some of their specialisations.

Carpentry companies are mostly in charge of:

• Outlining buildings on the ground with string and pegs for excavation.
• Erecting floor and wall framework, roof pitching, erecting suspended ceilings and laying timber floors.
• Interpreting plans and specs.
• Installing building components like windows, sashes, and doors.
• Constructing and erecting prefabricated units.

A joiner performs the following task:

• Fabrication of building components such as window frames, sashes and doors.
• Creation of different joineries and staircases.
• Material selection and marking out components required for specific component designs.

In summary, carpenters work on building and constructions sites, specialising in the installation of pre-made components, and laying out of foundation and framing works. Joiners, in the comfort of their own workshops, are specialised on fabricating building components and fixtures that are to be installed in buildings.

More often than not, joinery and carpentry skills overlap so it’s not unusual that you’ll find a carpentry company who also offers joinery services and vice versa. Finding a contractor who both offers the same service can save you a lot of time and money. If you require a carpentry job, a joinery job, or both – browsing our listings of carpenters and joiners near you will be a very useful starting point.
