Pricing guide

Costs for internal framing are driven by the wall type and the work involved. New non‑loadbearing partitions are generally simpler, while replacement jobs or load‑bearing work usually require extra labour for demolition, temporary propping and heavier materials. Engineer design, certification, disposal or specialist remediation are often quoted separately and can increase the overall scope.

  • Wall type and structural requirements

    Non‑loadbearing timber partitions are typically simpler than load‑bearing walls that require lintels, propping or engineered sections.

  • Replacement and repair complexity

    Removal of existing studs, inspection and patching add time and may reveal hidden damage needing further work.

  • Material type and allowances

    Standard pine studs are usually specified for basic partitions, whereas structural work often uses engineered timber or steel with higher material allowances.

  • Engineer design and certification

    Structural framing often requires engineer design and certification, which is typically quoted separately and adds to the scope.

  • Temporary propping and crew size

    Load‑bearing or heavier framing generally needs temporary propping and larger crews, increasing the labour allowance.

Frequently asked questions

Do carpenters need to be licensed?
Yes — licencing is mandatory for carpentry work in this category. Structural framing often also needs engineer design and certification, which is usually arranged or quoted separately.
Are plasterboard and painting included?
Standard framing allowances generally do not include plasterboard, painting, insulation or electrical work. If you plan to supply materials yourself, mentioning this up front may reduce the contractor’s material allowances.
How long will internal framing take?
Simple non‑loadbearing partitions are usually quicker to frame than replacement or structural jobs. Replacement work and structural framing typically take longer because of demolition, temporary propping and the need for additional labour.
What if hidden damage is found during work?
If substantial hidden damage is discovered, providers will usually recommend further inspection and may quote separately for remediation. Specialist work such as asbestos removal or structural repairs is typically handled and priced as an additional scope.
