Great builds start with
great carpentry.
Built-ins, staircases, wardrobes and timber detail from a carpenter-owned builder.
Intro
Considered, custom, built to last.
Anyone can hang a door. Carpentry that is square, tight and built to last is a different craft, and it's the first thing to vanish when a job is rushed or under-priced. CIB is owner-run by a carpenter first — the detail is the point.
Pricing guidance
From $6,500
Custom joinery typically starts around $6.5k for a single built-in and scales up from there.
Standalone joinery jobs typically run 1–4 weeks on site.
Benefits
What you get from CIB.
Built-ins that fit the room
Made to millimetre, scribed to walls that aren't straight, finished so nothing looks bolted on.
Staircases and balustrades
Timber, steel or mixed. Square, quiet underfoot, detailed at the newel and stringer.
Wardrobes and dressing rooms
Proper hanging, shelf and drawer allocations for how you actually dress.
Common problems
What we see when others cut corners.
- Built-ins with gaps you could put a hand in
- Staircases that creak from day one
- Wardrobes with poor hanging space allocation

Words
Clients on the work.
"Chris was the only builder who told us what our reno was actually going to cost — and then held to the number. Every trade he brought through was excellent. The finish is beyond what we thought was possible in our old cottage."

"We were burned by a builder on our last renovation. CIB was the opposite experience — communication every week, decisions logged, and a finish that looks like a five-star hotel. Worth every dollar."
