What we frame

We specialise in stick framing. Around it, we take on the stages that usually mean another sub on site, so your frame stage keeps moving.

  1. Wall and floor framing

    Stick framed on site to the plans, including split levels, high ceilings and the set-out that comes with them.

  3. Structural steel

    Steel beams and portals installed as part of the frame, so the steel and the timber go up as one job.

  4. Stumps, subfloor and earthworks

    We run our own excavator for site earthworks, then set stumps and build the subfloor ready for the frame.

  • A head carpenter and project manager across every site.
  • Apprentices trained on the job, from first year through to qualified.

Builders ask us

What areas do you cover?

Mostly Melbourne's east. Recent sites include Ringwood, Croydon, Boronia, Lilydale, The Basin, Park Orchards and Box Hill, and we've also worked in Malvern East, Thornbury and Mt Eliza. If your site is further out, send the plans and ask.

Who do you work for?

Builders and developers. Most of our work is subcontract framing on custom homes and multi-unit townhouse sites.

What do you need to give me a quote?

The full set of plans: architectural drawings plus engineering, and the truss layout if you have it. Add the site address and when you'd like to start. The more complete the set, the tighter the quote.

Do you do more than walls and roofs?

Yes. As well as wall and roof framing, we install structural steel, set stumps and build subfloors, run earthworks with our own excavator, and do external cladding.

Can you handle a multi-unit site?

Yes. We run multiple crews, each with a crew leader, so several dwellings can move at once while the standard stays the same across the site.

Are you registered?

Yes. Our Victorian building registrations are DBL-C 62929 and CDB-L 63271.
