Joinery projects
If your build includes a bespoke kitchen or wardrobes — how the parallel track works.
- Cancelling joinery once fabrication has startedBespoke joinery can't be unmade. Once fabrication has begun, cancellation is possible but expensive — the JIC sets out what's owed, and your Joinery Partner is the right person to talk to first.
- How a joinery project runs alongside your buildIf your project includes bespoke joinery, two contracts run side by side — your HIC for the build and your JIC for the joinery — held together as one project on the platform. Your builder coordinates the Joinery Partner's site work; you stay focused on the design and snag decisions.
- Joinery payment milestones (50/40/10)Joinery payments split into three: 50% at Design Freeze, 40% on delivery to site, 10% after snagging is cleared. Funds are held in your Beams Account until each release.
- Joinery snagging in practiceJoinery snags are raised directly with the Joinery Partner. They're often drawing-referenced (J-14, J-22) and clear over a few visits. The final 10% releases once the snags are cleared.
- The joinery design processJoinery starts with a survey, moves through shop drawings, and locks at Design Freeze. After that, fabrication begins; changes get expensive. Here's how it runs.
- The joinery warranty layers (2y / 1y / 1y)Joinery comes with three overlapping warranties — 2 years on the structural carcassing, 1 year on installation, 1 year on hardware and fittings. Each runs from the joinery sign-off.
