About Kayu

Wood is the work. People are the point.

Kayu Carpentry takes on projects from structural framing to the finest finishing touches. We listen first, plan carefully, and keep you informed at every step.

Whether you are reshaping a room, adding space, replacing a roof or building a deck, we aim for a result that is functional, beautiful and made to stand the test of time. A collaborative planning process means the finished space reflects your vision.

Why “Kayu”? It means wood in Malay and Indonesian. It is the material we love and the craft we give our days to.

What we build

Eight ways we work with wood

One carpentry team for the whole project, from the frame to the final finish.

Start to finish

From bare ground to a finished home

We build the structure and we finish it. Here is one cabin, from the first beams to the last board.

How it works

Our process

Three clear phases, so you always know what happens next.

Carpenters installing a timber soffit on a scaffold
  1. 1

    Initial consultation

    Up to 90 minutes

    We discuss your ideas, understand your vision and offer our professional recommendations to get the most from your space.

    • Existing architecture and structural conditions
    • Layout, materials and current features
    • Photos and measurements for future reference
  2. 2

    Design phase & quoting

    Collaborative, with your approval

    We weigh the existing structure, your budget, lifestyle and functional needs, then build a detailed project plan and estimate.

    It covers renovations, remodels, additions, framing, roofing, decks, custom woodwork and finish carpentry. We talk it through, adjust it and agree on the scope together before anything is final.

  3. 3

    Construction phase

    Once scope, estimate and permits are set

    When the scope is final, the estimate is approved and the paperwork and permits are complete, we start building.

    Kayu Carpentry keeps communication clear and stays hands-on, so every detail is carried out carefully, from structural framing to the finest finishing touches.

Ask us
What happens at the first consultation?

We talk through your ideas and goals, then look at the property: its architecture, structure, layout, materials and current features. We take photos and measurements for reference. The visit takes up to 90 minutes.

What kinds of projects do you take on?

Renovations, remodels, additions, framing, roofing, decks, custom woodwork and finish carpentry. If your project mixes several of these, one team handles it.

How much will my project cost?

Every project is different. After the consultation we prepare a detailed plan and estimate that reflects the structure, your budget, your lifestyle and what the space needs to do.

Can I change the plan before work starts?

Yes. Planning and quoting is collaborative, with room for discussion, adjustments and approvals before the scope is final.

When does construction begin?

Once the scope is finalized, you approve the estimate, and the paperwork and permits are complete.

Will I know what is happening during the build?

Yes. We keep communication clear and stay hands-on throughout the construction phase.
