  1. 01

    Scope and programme

  2. 02

    First fix

    Stud walls, floor joists, door linings and noggins for fixtures — the structural carpentry that has to be right before plastering starts.

  3. 03

    Second fix

    After plastering: skirting, architrave, doors hung and ironmongery fitted, loft hatches and finishing trim.

  4. 04

    Snagging and sign-off

    Final adjustments, gaps filled, everything checked before handover to the next trade or to you.
