carpentry jobs in Australia

Find a carpenter

Turn a deck, door, shelving or timber repair idea into a brief with dimensions, the intended use and the finish you want.

Choose Carpenter when posting, then add your town or suburb and state. Registered trades can view shared briefs that match their trade and state.

Common carpentry projects

  • Decks and timber structures
  • Door and trim repairs
  • Shelving and storage

Before agreeing to the work

Ask how the timber and finish will suit the location, and whether removal, fixing hardware and finishing are included.

Confirm the person’s experience, relevant qualifications and insurance directly. Agree on a written scope and price before work starts.

What to include in your job brief

  1. Measure the approximate length, width and height of the area. Explain whether the work is a new build, alteration or repair.
  2. Show the whole space and close-ups of joins, damaged timber or existing finishes. Note steps, slopes and access.
  3. Describe the material and finish you prefer, whether materials are already supplied and what needs removing.

An example brief

I need a shelf fitted into a study alcove approximately 1.8 metres wide. Photos show both walls and the existing skirting. I would like a painted finish.

Replace the details with your own job, location, photos and timing. A clear brief helps a tradie decide whether the work suits them.

How TradeBrief helps

You can sign in as a client to share a job brief with photos and a contact method. TradeBrief is in early access: responses and local availability depend on the trades using the platform. Posting does not guarantee a quote or a booking.

The directory shows sponsored businesses when listings are available. A listing is not a guarantee of suitability for your job.
