Carpentry
Lock-Up
Getting your project weather-tight and secure — windows, doors, cladding and roofing carpentry to lock-up stage.
Overview
Lock-up stage is a milestone clients feel — the building becomes weather-tight, secure, and starts to look finished. I coordinate the carpentry side of windows, external doors, cladding and roofing tightly at this stage to protect the program and the work already completed.
Benefits
- Coordinated window, door, cladding and roofing carpentry
- Weather protection for internal works to follow
- Site security once lock-up is achieved
- Quality checks on external junctions and flashings
- Clear milestone reporting for finance drawdowns
How We Work
Our Process
Consultation & Brief
We walk the site (or the plans) with you, understand the scope and how it fits with your builder or trades, and set clear expectations before a dollar is spent.
Scope & Quote
We confirm materials, specifications and a fixed-price quote so there are no surprises once work starts.
Scheduling
We coordinate timing with your builder or other trades so the carpentry slots in without holding up the wider job.
Carpentry Works
We run daily quality checks against the drawings, with regular updates so you always know where the job stands.
