The Situation

The Frame Every Other Trade Works Off

A frame that is square and straight makes everything after it easier. The plasterer, the tiler and the cabinetmaker all have something true to measure from.

Ten millimetres out is invisible the day it goes up. It shows later, when a wall has to be packed out and the cabinets do not fit the space the plan promised.

  • Walls out of square, so linings and trims never sit right
  • Openings framed to the wrong size for the doors ordered
  • Nothing solid behind the wall to fix a towel rail or a TV to
  • Floors out of level, which shows up in every room after
  • Bracing and tie-downs skipped or done to the wrong spec
How We Do It

Square, Straight and to Line

Framing is a measuring job. We work from one reference point, check the diagonals rather than trusting a square, and confirm openings against the doors and windows actually ordered.

It takes an hour or two extra at the start and saves that several times over for every trade that follows.

  • Work from one reference point and check the diagonals
  • Openings framed to the doors and windows actually ordered
  • Bracing and tie-downs to the specification, not to habit
  • Solid timber put in wherever fittings will need fixing later
  • The whole frame checked straight and level before sign-off

Asked Questions

Timber Framing Questions

  • It comes down to the area being framed and how much has to be dismantled first. A single new wall is a small job; framing an extension is normally priced as part of the wider build. We measure up and quote in writing at no charge.

  • Yes, both. Wall and floor framing for extensions, additions, alterations and new structures. It is the core of what we do and it sits underneath most of our other work.

  • Yes. Dividing a room, closing off an opening or framing for a new doorway is a small job and a common one. It still needs setting out properly if the finished wall is going to look right.

  • Yes, and where a job involves structural change we would expect there to be some. We build to the specification given rather than substituting sections or changing spacings.

  • Where a span or a load calls for it, a steel beam is the right answer and we work with it. See our structural carpentry page for that side of the work.

  • A single wall is hours. A room or an extension is days. What sets the pace is usually access and how much has to be dismantled first rather than the framing itself.

  • Yes. We frame across the City of Casey, the City of Knox, Cardinia Shire and Greater Dandenong. See areas we serve for your suburb.

Timber Framing Across Melbourne's South East

Framing Into an Existing House

New framing in an old house is harder than framing from scratch, because nothing you are tying into is square. Floors have settled, walls lean, and the ceiling is rarely at the height the plan claims.

The judgement is in deciding what to correct and what to follow. Correcting everything is expensive and sometimes makes the join more obvious, not less. That call comes from having done it a lot.

Why timber blocking Matter More Than People Think

The most common frustration at fit-out stage is finding there is nothing to fix into. A towel rail, a wall-hung vanity, a television bracket or an overhead cupboard all need solid timber behind the lining.

That means knowing at framing stage where those things are going. We ask about it then rather than leaving it for someone to discover with a stud finder later.
