Trade: Cabinetmaker

Ever undertook woodwork in your school years and created things out of wood. Well who knows maybe it was leading you up to your career as a cabinetmaker. If you’re looking for a high quality cabinetry then look no further then hiring an expert in the field. Yes, that is cabinetmakers.


Okay so cabinetmakers don’t just make cabinets. Let’s look into it a little more further. Cabinetmakers are woodworkers that design and make built-in or customised cabinets. Not just that but that you know that bed you sleep on or any wood furniture you own be sure that that’s the creation of a cabinetmaker. A cabinet maker also repairs and or creates their products from flat panel, or solid timber materials, building and using many different materials based on every individual needs and wants in other words custom designs.  


The great thing about cabinetmakers is that they can open up their own business or work for a large cabinet or woodworking manufacturer. From designing bedroom suites, kitchen cabinetry and furniture, antique furniture dining office and wood entertainment furniture the avenue is vast. Cabinetry making has also vastly grown to expand to household appliances. 


Cabinetmakers prepare customised drawings that acquire specifications, they also have the difficult task of choosing the correct and suitable wood to meet the requirements of the customer’s. They prepare the materials to be ready for usage. Cabinet Makers also repair old and damaged furniture. Cabinet Makers mark out and shape different pieces to place together. Kind of reminds me of playing with puzzles and trying to piece the pieces together. In other words putting the product together well in the case of cabinetmakers gluing it together.


Well of course attending wood work in school is not enough to classify you as a cabinetmaker so you do need to undergo on the job training and complete the required apprenticeship. 


Be prepared that a cabinetmaker’s role requires a lot of patience and talent to create unique and custom designs. 


 To all our cabinetmakers; past and present we thank you for all your hard work.

What To Look For When Choosing A Home Builder In Sydney

By Rima Darwich • June 25, 2025
Building a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make. Why? Because of all the emotions, finances and time that is involved. That’s why choosing the right builder is important. In a city as fast paced and competitive as Sydney, not all builders are created the same. So what should you look for to make sure you’re in the right hands? Here are the key things to consider when choosing a home builder in Sydney: 1. Experience in the Local Market Sydney’s housing market is unique, with its own set of planning rules, block sizes, and architectural trends. A builder with proven local experience understands these things and can navigate council approvals, site challenges, and design expectations with confidence. 2. Licensing, Insurance, and Compliance Always check that your builder is fully licensed and insured to operate in NSW. They should also be compliant with local building codes, warranty insurance requirements (like HBCF), and health and safety regulations. A trustworthy builder won’t hesitate to provide these documents upfront. 3. Transparent Communication From the start, clear and open communication is key. You should feel comfortable asking questions and confident that your builder keeps you informed every step of the way. “HINT” “HINT”; be aware of quick replies and prices that are too good to be true. 4. Quality of Workmanship Ask to see previous projects or client testimonials. The builder's portfolio should show attention to detail, thoughtful design, and consistent quality. A good builder doesn’t just finish a house; they build a home that lasts. 5. Customisation and Flexibility Every family has unique needs. A quality builder will offer flexibility in design and finishes while helping you stay within budget. Whether you're after a custom layout or specific materials, the right builder will listen and guide you through the best options. 6. Financial Stability and Reputation In recent years, Sydney has seen a number of builders collapse mid-project. It’s essential to choose a company that’s financially stable and trustworthy and stays true to its good values. Look for signs like reviews, testimonials or builders reputation and establishment.
