The house frame is the skeleton of your home so you need to be sure that it is erected correctly in order to have a home that outlasts you. A carpenter is the ideal professional to erect your frame. Read on for more.

Carpenters are able to erect the frame for your new home or for your extension or addition. They put up every aspect of the house frame – the roof frame, bearers, joists, beams, stud walls, sub floors, and so on. They are able to work with timber or steel frames, and they can put up frames for all styles of houses. They can also erect different types of roof frames (flat roofs, gable roofs etc). You may even be able to get advice from them about which style of frame is suitable for your area (steel in bushfire prone areas for example).

When you are hiring a carpenter for your house frames it is imperative that they are fully licensed, qualified, and ensured. Where relevant, they should also be registered with a body such as the MBA (Master Builders Association) or the HIA (Housing Industry Association). The carpenter can be hired by yourself as an owner builder or they can be a sub contractor or contractor hired by your builder who is managing your building task.
