Frequently Asked Questions

Can I register even if I only work on demand?

Yes. ArtiBox is suitable for custom tradespeople, by the piece or on demand. You will only receive relevant projects.

Do some clients only request assembly, without supplying the wood?

Yes, that happens. In this case, the contractor or their architect provides the plans and materials. Indicate your preferences in your profile.

Can I specialize in low environmental impact buildings?

Absolutely. You can highlight your expertise in sustainable framing, bio-sourced construction, or eco-construction in your description.

How can I avoid unpleasant surprises during the site visit?

Prepare a list of technical questions to ask, take photos, check measurements, and request updated plans before the quote.

What to say to a client who hesitates to renovate an old frame?

Explain the benefits of a secure structure, the risks involved in case of infiltration or subsidence, and propose solutions compatible with the original aesthetic.

A discipline that opens up to innovation

Framing is a traditional trade, but also one for the future. New prefabrication techniques, 3D modeling, and digital calculation tools open up interesting prospects, even for independent tradespeople. In Wallonia as well as in Brussels, more and more clients are looking for carpenters capable of working on contemporary projects or integrating into sustainable constructions. By positioning yourself in these promising segments, you gain competitiveness.
