Alvora provides first fix carpentry packages for new-build residential projects, working alongside structural, masonry, concrete and building-services trades throughout the construction programme.

​

Depending on the construction method, our works can include floor structures, engineered joists, internal timber partitions, roof construction, flat roofs, structural timber framing and preparation for windows, doors and internal finishes.

​

We regularly work on technically demanding residential projects where accurate coordination between timber, concrete, steel and building services is essential.

Our construction experience allows us to look beyond an individual carpentry item and understand how that work interacts with the complete building.

Structural Alterations, Reconfiguration & Existing Buildings

First Fix Carpentry for House Renovations

Major renovations often require considerably more first fix carpentry than a new-build property.

 

Existing floor structures may require strengthening or alteration. Internal layouts change. New openings must be formed. Roofs may be modified. Extensions have to connect accurately with existing structures.

 

Alvora undertakes first fix carpentry as part of complete home renovations and refurbishment projects, including:

​

  • New internal layouts

  • Removal and reconstruction of partitions

  • Floor strengthening

  • Replacement floor joists

  • New floor structures

  • Structural trimming

  • Roof alterations

  • Dormer construction

  • Ceiling alterations

  • Timber framing around new steelwork

  • Preparation of structural openings

  • Extension-to-existing-building connections

​

Our experience in renovation and structural construction is particularly valuable where new carpentry must integrate with older or irregular buildings.

Floor Joists & Engineered Floor Systems

Timber Joists, Posi-Joists and Structural Floors

Modern residential construction increasingly uses engineered floor systems requiring accurate setting-out and careful coordination with mechanical and electrical services.

Alvora installs traditional timber joists and engineered floor systems including Posi-Joists.

Our works can include:

  • Floor joist installation

  • Posi-Joist systems

  • Joist hangers

  • Rim boards

  • Structural trimming

  • Stair openings

  • Double and reinforced joists

  • Service zones

  • Floor decking

  • Structural OSB

  • Preparation around steel beams

  • Openings for services

  • Coordination with mechanical and electrical contractors

Accurate installation at this stage helps prevent problems later with floors, ceilings, stairs and internal finishes.
