Ask Chalkline about this →Joinery is the trade of making and fitting built-in timber and board products: kitchens, built-in wardrobes, doors, window frames, staircase components, and other fixed furniture. In Australian residential construction, the term covers both the manufacturing side (a joinery workshop making cabinet carcasses and doors) and the on-site installation side (fitting those components to the structure). A cabinetmaker typically handles the kitchen and storage joinery on a residential job; a chippy handles structural timber elements and sometimes second-fix trim joinery (architraves, skirtings, door frames).
Also known as: cabinet work, built-in furniture, fixture joinery.
