For bespoke and fitted work, such as alcove shelving, staircase repair, or a run of built-in wardrobes, design and drawing time deserves its own line. It reframes the job as skilled craftsmanship, not "carpentry by the hour." A customer who wants three rounds of design changes before you cut any timber pays for that time instead of it disappearing into your margin.

Timber pricing moves more than most trades' materials, especially for hardwoods like European oak. A note that "timber pricing valid 14 days; significant material price changes may be passed on" protects your margin on jobs with a gap between quoting and starting. It doesn't read as evasive: customers who work with tradespeople regularly already expect this from timber-dependent trades.

Separate workshop labour from on-site fitting, especially for built pieces made off-site and installed later. It's a more accurate reflection of where the time actually goes. It also explains a lead time that might otherwise look unreasonably long to a customer who assumes carpentry starts the day you arrive, not the day you begin building in the workshop.

State the wood movement and finish curing time separately from the build. A hard wax oil finish, for instance, needs time to cure properly before the piece takes normal daily use. A one-line note saves you a callback from a customer who leans a heavy object on a new shelf the day after installation, before the finish has actually hardened.
