Construction Carpenter

You build the frame on the jig table from the cutting list, nail the sheathing, fit the insulation and the vapour barrier and leave the openings for windows and doors exactly where the drawing puts them. You check the diagonals before the sheet goes on, because an element that is out of square will not go together on site. Service channels for the electrician are cut at this stage. Finished elements are marked, wrapped and loaded with the crane. Two shifts run 06:00 to 14:30 and 14:30 to 23:00.
