Carpenter — 2nd Fix Designed

Skirting, architraves, doors hung, hardware fitted — the post-plaster finishing carpentry pass with linear-metre pricing and trim-supplier integration.

The problem

2nd-fix is where the customer sees the finish.

Skirting wobbles, mitred corners, paint-grade vs stain-grade trim, hinges that swing right — every detail registers on the customer's "is this house finished?" gut check. Underquote the lineal-metres of trim and you eat the timber cost. Skip the door-hang spec and the customer sees daylight under the bedroom door. 2nd-Fix gives you the takeoff and the sign-off.

How it works

Lineal-metre takeoff. Trim catalogue. Door schedule.

  • Lineal-metre measure-up of skirting and architrave by room.
  • Trim profile catalogue — paint-grade, stain-grade, MDF, hardwood — with current pricing.
  • Door-hang schedule with hardware spec per opening.
  • Punch-list workflow for the inevitable defect-period chase.
  • Compose with 1st-Fix and Doors+Frames for full carpentry coverage.

Finishing carpenters and defect-period specialists.

Builders running their own 2nd-fix crew, dedicated 2nd-fix subbies, and reno builders who do the trim work in-house for quality control.
