Project design & management

We offer our clients a much valued design and planning service and we treat every project with the same personal customer service and care. Working with our team of highly experienced architects and planners, we can turn your idea from a scribble on a napkin to a fully installed structure. We work with you to ensure your location, budget and type of building are all achievable. We help with planning submissions and building regulation designs, and keep in touch with you throughout the entire process to answer any questions or concerns that should arise.

Building your oak frame
Once your frame has been commissioned and the design has been fully tailored to both your budget and your complete approval, our team can begin work on assembling the frame. All of our timber is sustainably sourced and we insist on using local suppliers whenever possible. The timbers are generally prepared and cut to size in workshops, minimising the on-site time needed when it comes to installation.
Installation and after care
Once your frame is prepared, we deliver to the site and our team of skilled carpenters will come and erect the structure. The structure is assembled using a combination of traditional carpentry techniques combined with newer more effective methods of construction. Our team will then make your frame watertight and either in-fill or apply an external envelope to increase the thermal properties. We will finally clean the oak frame and ensure it is ready for the next stage.
