A new home needs framing, trim, doors, stairs and built-ins in the right order. Here is how the carpentry fits the build.
In a new build, carpentry happens twice. First comes rough carpentry, the framing that gives the house its shape. Later comes finish carpentry, the trim, doors, stairs and cabinets that give it character. The gap between them is filled with plumbing, wiring, insulation and drywall, so the schedule matters.
We coordinate with your builder so lumber is on site when needed, blocking is installed before drywall and finish carpentry begins when the house is dry and ready. Planning built-ins early means backing in the walls and outlets in the right places.
