Joinery (JoineryIShopfitting/
Stairbuilding)
Apprentices in joinery are involved in the planning and construction of off-site
components used in the building industry. These components include doors,
windows, cupboards and stairs. Students need a knowledge of how different
aspects of these components are constructed: through this subject they will also
gain an understanding of other trades related to this area.
While working primarily with timber as a basic material, the student learns to
appreciate all materials used in the building trade. Skill development covers
preparation of plans, cutting schedules and set-out requirements for all aspects of
the trade. Instruction is given in all phases of off-site component manufacture
including quantities, plan drawing/interpretation, set-out procedures and OH&S.
