Carpentry plays a major role in construction, especially during the first and second fixing stages. These stages help build the structural framework of the building and complete the final interior details.
First Fixing
First fixing carpentry occurs during the early stages of construction. It involves installing structural components such as floor joists, wall framing, door frames, and roof supports.
These elements provide the structural base for the rest of the building work.
Second Fixing
Second fixing carpentry happens later in the construction process. This stage focuses on interior finishing elements such as doors, skirting boards, architraves, and decorative trims.
Importance of Skilled Carpentry
Both stages require skilled professionals who can measure, cut, and install materials accurately.
Final Interior Finish
Second fixing gives the building its final appearance and functional details, completing the construction process.
