Detail

Why a carpenter builds flat pack better

Most flat pack failures are site problems rather than assembly mistakes. Old Northern Rivers cottages move, so floors slope and stud spacing rarely matches the holes in the back panel.

A carpenter reads that before the first screw goes in. We pack the base, find the studs and anchor properly.

Coastal humidity matters too. Particle board swells if it sits on a damp slab or in a garage open to salt air, so we keep boxes off concrete and pre drill anything likely to split.

Bring us a room full of boxes and one booking covers the lot. Send the list of pieces and we will tell you how many days it looks like.

Common questions

Flat pack assembly questions we get asked

How much does flat pack assembly cost in Byron Bay?

Pricing is $420 + GST for a half day or $760 + GST for a full day, for one smith. Send the list of pieces and we will tell you how many days it looks like, fixed before we start.

Do you assemble IKEA furniture?

Yes. IKEA wardrobes, PAX systems, BILLY shelving, MALM beds and kitchen units are routine work. We are happy to collect flat packs locally by arrangement, otherwise have them delivered and we build on site.

Do you anchor furniture to the wall?

Always, where the manufacturer specifies it. Tall wardrobes, bookcases and chests of drawers are anchored into studs or masonry with the correct fixings, which matters in homes with young children.

What if a part is missing or damaged?

We identify it early, tell you exactly which part number to order, and build everything else so only one step is left when the replacement arrives.

How does pricing work?

Send the list and we will tell you whether it is a half day or how many days it looks like, from $420 + GST for a half day or $760 + GST for a full day, for one smith, fixed before we start. If there is time left over, we keep working down whatever else is on your list.
