What is a licensed journeyman?
A licensed journeyman has completed the Carpentry Apprenticeship Program, which includes both in-school theory as well as a minimum of 4000 hours of practical, on-the-job training with a previously licensed journeyman. The carpenter has had to pass a national standardized exam to be certified as a licensed journeyman which ensures that a certain level of knowledge and skill has been attained.

03
In what manner do you price your jobs?
Each project has its own unique circumstances so pricing formulas are generally avoided. We base all of our pricing on the time and materials required to complete the project in order to reflect the true value of the work. We will price projects in one of two ways:
1. Fixed Price Quote
This is a firm contract price that can be relied upon to clearly define the construction requirements and the cost to complete them. The only time there will be a change from the original price quote is if there has been a change made in the work as requested by you. Any additions or deletions to the original work will change the price and this will be defined in a documented 'change order' where we both agree to the changes and cost associated with the changes.
2. Time and Materials
We will also work on a time and materials basis. With this agreement all material and labour provided will be invoiced to the customer accordingly. There is no set price but an estimated cost range can be provided to help establish the approximate value of the work to be done.
It is the choice of the customer as to which method they would like to arrange payment for the work to be completed.
