Process

2. Frame Design
Based on our initial discussions, and any plans/drawings supplied, we will now be able to turn your ideas into a 3D model. This is where it really gets exciting, as your structure comes to life.
The 3D model not only provides a visual aid, but also allows us to supply an accurate quotation for the works. At this stage, we have already started to collaborate with our design team, checking timber sizes and joint types, in order to speed up the engineering process. Where required, we can also supply glazing, door and specialist bi-fold estimates.

4. Fabrication
One of the benefits of timber framing is that your structure is built off site in our secure, dry workshop. It will be hand-built by our carpenters, using traditional scribing methods and pre-assembled with metal pins, so that we know it fits when delivered to site.
We will not need to stop if it rains or wait for the designer to confirm measurement (he is in the workshop office, overseeing the whole project). This means that you can work to a set project timetable, comfortable in the knowledge that we will be ready for a specific date.
Another benefit is that your site can continue working whilst we build your frame, meaning less disruption and a shorter overall build time.

6. On-site construction
If you have commissioned us to encapsulate the building with our custom-made SIPS, glazing, warm roof build-up or cladding, then it is at this stage that we install them.
Once completed, the remaining on-site works can be finished, with roofing contractor(s), electricians, etc, completing their trades. You will now have a water-tight shell, ready for decorating!
