What we do

Carpentry from frame to fix-out

Bring us in for one stage or the whole build. Here's how a build goes, and the work we do at each step.

The build, stage by stage

  1. Stage 01

    Frame

    Wall frames in pine or light-gauge steel, stood, braced and plumbed to the plans. Single and double storey, including the floor for the upstairs.

    Roof

    Roof trusses stood, braced and tied down, gable ends framed, then fascia, barges and battens. Hips, valleys and gables.

    Lock-up

    Windows, external doors, eaves and cladding fitted, so the house is closed in and ready for the trades inside.

    After the plaster: internal doors, jambs, architraves and skirting. The finish you see every day.

About us

Local carpenters you can call direct

NJL Building Group is a carpentry crew based in Melbourne's west. We work for builders and homeowners on new homes, townhouses, extensions and commercial jobs, from the first wall frame to the last architrave.

Every house starts as a frame, and if the frame's out, every trade after us pays for it. So we take the time to get it right. Our banner goes up on the fence at most of our jobs with Richie's number on it, and the first consult is free.
