Carpentry

Browse the local directory for Carpenters

A carpenter builds, erects or repairs other structures that are made of wood, steel or wood substitutes. They can build the frame of the house, walls and roof; install doors, windows, floors, cabinetry, ceiling tiles; erect scaffolding; complete other structural work such as sub-floor framing; and may even repair damaged furniture. Carpenters may specialise in a particular area of the trade, so be sure your chosen professional is able to complete your specific project.

Some aspects that carpenters consider when completing a project are:

Layout/design – carpenters must select the materials for the project and measure and mark them to ensure that they are the correct dimensions required.
Cutting and joining materials – cutting may be done with power or hand tools. The cutting stage also includes any shaping that needs to be done. Materials are joined using nails, glue, screws or bolts and rulers. Levels and other framing tools are employed to ensure accuracy in joining.
Estimation – carpenters estimate the amount of materials that will be required to complete a project.
Interpretation – carpenters interpret and read blueprints and other plans to find out what will be required for a project.
Follow building guidelines – carpenters are required to follow local and national building codes and standards when working on any project.
