First Fix Carpentry.
Structural timber works installed before plastering and final finishes — the framework upon which every subsequent trade depends.
Overview
The structural backbone of every project.
First fix carpentry forms the backbone of any construction project — the structural timber elements installed before plastering, electrical second fixing and final finishes. The quality and accuracy of this stage is critical, as it establishes the framework every subsequent trade depends on.
