Frequently asked questions

Common questions about our joinery process and pricing

How accurate are your measurements?

We use laser measurement tools and record wall deviations, floor slopes and ceiling heights to the millimetre. Shop drawings are checked against site notes before any timber is cut. Scribing and adjustable plinths accommodate minor building movement after installation.

What is included in the site survey fee?

The CHF 220 site visit covers travel within central Geneva, full room measurement, photographic documentation and a written summary of scope options. This fee is credited toward your project if you proceed within 60 days and the commission exceeds CHF 2,650.

How long does a typical project take?

From signed drawings to installation, allow six to ten weeks for fitted cabinetry or library walls. Kitchen joinery packages may require ten to fourteen weeks depending on finish complexity and coordination with other trades. We provide a schedule at proposal stage.

Do you work in listed or heritage buildings?

Yes. We regularly install in Old Town apartments and lakeside villas where walls are uneven and structural changes are restricted. Our joinery is designed to fix to existing substrates without damaging original plaster or parquet where possible.

Which timber species do you offer?

Common choices include European oak, American walnut, ash and lacquered MDF in matt or satin sheen. We provide samples during the design phase and can match existing wood tones where required.

Can you match my existing kitchen appliances?

Our kitchen joinery packages are dimensioned around your chosen appliances. We coordinate cut-out sizes with your supplier and leave space for ventilation and service access as specified by the manufacturer.

Do you handle installation and finishing on site?

Yes. Delivery, assembly, scribing to walls, hardware adjustment and final touch-up are included. We protect floors and existing finishes during installation and remove packaging from site.

What areas do you serve?

We work across Geneva city and lakeside communes including Cologny, Versoix, Carouge and surrounding areas. See our Areas page for detail or contact us if your property is further afield.
