Notes / exclusions

How to structure a carpentry quote

Carpenters generally quote a frame as a lump sum for each part of the build rather than pricing every stick of timber. Grouping the quote under clear headings — wall and floor framing, roof, eaves, and the second-fix work — shows the builder exactly what is covered while keeping your pricing your own.

Wall and floor framing

Set-out, plates, studs, lintels and bracing, plus the floor joists, bearers and structural flooring where the frame is suspended.

Roof, ceiling and eaves

Truss supply and install, tie-downs, ceiling joists and hanging beams, then the eaves, fascia and barge framing.

Stairs, decks and pergolas

Any stair, landing, deck or pergola framing, which is easy to leave out of a frame-only price.

Second fix and blocking

Architraves, skirtings, door hanging, and the blocking behind plasterboard for cabinets, vanities and fixtures — booked after the pre-line inspection.
