Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 29, 2013 7:02 am Hey guys, We are building with Clarendon at The Ponds. Currently at lock up stage. In the construction journey flowchart, there's a step called "carpentry completed". Can anyone please let me know what this step involves? Is it the wooden floor base? Cheers, Sand. Re: What does Carpentry stage mean 2Sep 29, 2013 7:53 am Carpentry is things like installing. Internal doors, frames and architraves Staircases Cabinets Skirting boards (This will come later for a wood floor) The Harder You Try - the Luckier You Get !

Re: What does Carpentry stage mean 3Sep 29, 2013 11:17 am Hey Sand! I'd say installation of internal doors and any final touch-ups to all the items bashworth listed above. Which part of the flow in the lock up stage are you at now; have the stairs gone in already?

I.e. kitchens done just with the splashback still outstanding. Dotgif - on the Clarendon journey flowchart, we just complete internal painting. The next step is the garage door. Don't want to jinx myself, but so far our lockup's been really quick. Hows your house coming along? Cheers, Sand. Re: What does Carpentry stage mean 5Oct 04, 2013 10:20 pm Sand - glad to hear it's been quick for you so far, I'm very excited for you! Referring to the same flowchart, I'm up to scaffold installed - the brickwork should be completed within a couple of weeks time. I'm eager to see the front porch to take shape, to resemble more like yours (only difference there is we had to add a parapet between the columns).
