Many of us will be shocked to know that there is a highly skilled profession in the construction industry which is called joiner. It will again surprise many when told that though both the professions are related to carpentry, but the joiners are different from carpenters. Many are unsure who to call when making or fixing something that involves wood, a joiner or a carpenter? Though joiners and carpenters share many traits, they work with wood within construction industries; however, there are a few basic differences in their skills and specialisation.
Wood is an essential part of building construction and used right from the foundation of the construction when the frame of the building is being made. The joiners are a part of the team of the architect and their works begins by reading and understanding the blueprint or technical drawing of the building. Their work involves marking, setting and making the wooden joinery products required for building construction. They install the structural components and first/second fixings thus providing a strong structure to the building. They produce and install internal and external frames, frames of windows and doors, fixtures and fittings, inbuilt furniture, roof trusses, wooden walls, flooring, partitions or any other building components built by joining woods and assembled and fitted by carpenters. They also work with interior designers and decorators during the woodwork of the house and with the landscape architect to erect a pergola or decorative bridges in terraces or gardens. They create Computer-Aided Design (CAD) for the clients to approve even before the actual work begins thus saving time and money.
The joiners play an important role in the construction industry since they are the expertise and force behind what we see after the carpenters finish their work. The inbuilt furniture, doors, windows, the wooden beams and boards hidden behind the concrete structure providing strength to the buildings or in short most of the woodwork done in home construction are done by the joiners off-site and assembled and installed by the carpenters on-site.
In modern homes and commercial buildings, the customer doesn’t have to worry about the cost of the joiners since it is included in the construction cost and paid by the building contractors. However, if you are hiring one for later on to change the doors or erect a pergola, the professional will give you the estimate after visiting the site, taking note of your requirements, the quality of materials and the area to be covered.
