What is First-Fix Carpentry?

First-fix carpentry refers to all the fundamental structural woodwork carried out during the initial stages of construction before the walls are plastered and finished. This stage includes:

 

  • Constructing stud walls

  • Installing floor joists

  • Fixing roof structures and trusses

  • Framing door linings and window openings

  • Laying staircases

 

Essentially, it’s the stage that deals with any carpentry work that gets hidden behind walls, ceilings, or under floors. First-fix carpentry is critical because it determines the integrity and functionality of the structure that follows. Errors at this point can lead to costly delays or structural issues later.

​When Should You Avail of First-Fix Carpentry Services?

You should consider first-fix carpentry services at the early stages of a build or renovation project, typically after the foundations and blockwork are completed and before plastering begins. Engaging experienced first-fix carpenters at this point ensures:

 

  • Accurate timber frame construction

  • Precise measurements for doors, windows, and stairs

  • Smooth integration with electrical and plumbing installations

  • Preparation for seamless second-fix carpentry and finishing

 

At Dylell Carpentry Galway, we liaise with project managers, architects, electricians, and plumbers to ensure the timber framework complements every aspect of your project’s design and utility systems.
