Our Joinery and Carpentry Process

Step 1 Consultation and Measurement

We meet to understand your requirements, assess existing conditions, and take precise measurements. For replacements, we carefully measure existing joinery and assess removal requirements. For new work, we discuss design possibilities, timber options, hardware selections, and functional requirements. Initial concepts are developed collaboratively.

Step 2 Design Development

We create detailed shop drawings showing all dimensions, profiles, construction details, and assembly methods. Material samples and finish options are presented so you can see and feel what you're getting. We refine the design based on your feedback until every detail is exactly right.

Step 3 Quotation and Approval

You receive a comprehensive quotation itemising materials, labour, hardware, finishing, and any installation requirements. We explain the manufacturing timeline and installation schedule. Once approved, we order materials and schedule manufacture in our workflow.

Step 4 Manufacture

Our skilled joiners craft your pieces with precision in our workshop. Quality timber is selected for each component, machined to exact tolerances, and assembled using traditional joinery techniques combined with modern adhesives and fixings. We maintain strict quality control throughout manufacture.

Step 5 Site Preparation

Before installation, we prepare the site by removing existing joinery if required, ensuring surfaces are level and true, and completing any necessary building work. For whole-property replacements, we work systematically through the house. This preparation ensures perfect fit during installation.

Step 6 Installation and Finishing

Our team installs the joinery with meticulous care, making any final adjustments for perfect fit and operation. Finishing includes painting, staining, or oiling as specified, hardware fitting and adjustment, and final detailing. We leave your space clean with your beautiful custom joinery ready to use and enjoy for years to come.

Understanding Joinery Costs

Custom joinery costs vary significantly based on complexity, materials, and extent of work. Several factors affect your investment:

Project Scope - Single built-in units like a wardrobe or bookshelf cost less than whole-home joinery replacement involving every window, door, and trim piece throughout your property. The scale of work directly impacts both materials and labour.

Timber Species - Material choice significantly impacts budget. Treated pine is economical for painted joinery. Hardwoods like rimu, kauri, or imported species cost more but offer beautiful grain for stained finishes. Engineered materials provide stability at mid-range pricing.

Design Complexity - Simple, straight-lined joinery costs less than intricate details, curved work, or custom profiles. Heritage replication requiring multiple moulding profiles and detailed work increases manufacturing time and therefore cost.

Finish Requirements - Paint-grade joinery using MDF or pine costs less than stain-grade work requiring premium timber with consistent grain and colour. Clear finishes show every detail, demanding higher material grades and more careful construction.

Hardware and Fittings - Quality hinges, drawer systems, handles, and other hardware range widely in price. Soft-close mechanisms, undermount drawer runners, and European hinges cost more than basic alternatives but provide superior long-term operation.

Site Conditions - Existing joinery removal, wall repairs, and preparation work add to project costs. Access challenges, working in occupied homes, and protecting existing finishes all affect labour requirements and therefore pricing.

Installation Complexity - Simple installations in new construction differ from retrofitting into existing buildings. Height access, integration with existing work, and achieving perfect fit in older homes with settled frames all influence installation time.

We provide detailed quotations covering all aspects from design through installation. Our pricing includes materials and timber, manufacture and workshop time, site preparation work, installation labour, finishing including painting or staining, hardware and fixings, and final adjustments. We work within your budget to deliver joinery that enhances your property's value and appeal whilst meeting your functional requirements and aesthetic goals.
