Job sequences in fixing and fit-off stage

kakaciii · Mar 23, 2024 1:10 pm

What is the most common job sequence in terms of painting, cabinetry/joinery, doors, timber floor?

I know in cases of renovation, it all varies, like the sequence really depends and either way sorta has its pros and cons
But in a new building context, is there a best practice job sequences that trades follow?

If solid timber or glued timber floors follow this:
Flooring, kitchen cab or cabs which this flooring runs under, doors and frames including EZjambs, tiles, vanities, both fit offs, skirting, paint, carpet. You put the timber down first to avoid trimming around cabs.

If floating timber floor follow the same but install timber flooring before skirting.

If tiling living areas, do as per solid timber.

You’ll need to protect the floors during the build and it’s not the way most builders want to do it because if possible damage to floors and the subsequent costs to rectify but it’s the best way for the best outcome

Thanks. Wall paint finishes before all these correct?

So let's say if the builder wants to avoid the floor protection and do the flooring at last.
Do it mean that you need to trim it not only around cabs but also kitchen island as well (which is not desired)?

p.s. anyone know how Boutique does it?

What is the most common job sequence in terms of painting, cabinetry/joinery, doors, timber floor?

I know in cases of renovation, it all varies, like the sequence really depends and either way sorta has its pros and cons
But in a new building context, is there a best practice job sequences that trades follow?

I can only speak for ourselves we work in the following order:

1. Gyprock
2. First coat of paint then base electrical fit off ( so powerpoints and light switches without covers and pendants in voids)
3. Waterproofing then tile to wet areas
4. Internal capentry ( except skirts) so door jambs, doors etc
5. Joinery minus base kicker plate
6. More paint
7. Electrical and Plumbing fit off
8. Floors
9 Skirts
10. Final Paint
11. Joinery base plates
12. Cleaning
13. Caulking

We try to avoid having any joinery sitting on flooring as we need to allow room for expansion, unless the flooring is tiles or polished concrete

I hope this makes sense

Cheers

Thanks for much mate. I see that you do cabinets before flooring.

For timber flooring, for most parts it's fine because it's got base plates, and for door jabs you can cut into it.
But how do you handle kitchen island, do you have to trim around the island base?
