After our initial consultation, we will start working on your oak frame scheme. Your frame will be designed so that it is not only aesthetically beautiful, but technically and structurally planned out.

Our designers all started their careers working “on the tools”, and it is this first-hand experience which sets us apart from others. They understand the fundamental factors involved in oak timber framing; the use of specific joints, how the timber moves, the constraints of a framed structure – ensuring accurate quotations and designs from the start.

We are able to work from professional drawings, collaborating with architects and project managers to translate their ideas. The complexity of timber framing and the different types of trusses and cross frames on offer, mean that we can often offer aesthetically pleasing alternatives to standard building practices.

Our concept schemes are produced using specialist CAD software, creating scaled 3D models. These drawings not only help you visualize your build, but also aid in the quoting process, allowing us to save on timber wastage and specify joint types.

Once commissioned, our design team will produce technical construction plans for our carpentry team to fabricate the oak frame, allowing them to accurately scribe and cut the timbers by hand. We will also produce drawings to precisely build any Structurally Insulated Panel System (SIPS) or other services we are providing, ensuring high u-values and efficient encapsulation of the structure.

One of the reasons our frames are so beautiful is our attention to detail. We work off accurate scaled drawings, showing every dimension, angle and joint type. Each section of the build has an individual drawing, which not only shows an overview of the structure, but also details each specific joint.

Using Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, our experienced designers are able to produce construction drawings that are millimetre perfect and individual to each project.
