Frameworks

Frameworks produce traditional oak frame buildings and are based on the Dorset and Somerset border near Wincanton. We pride ourselves on our expertise in the creation of timber frame buildings, houses, extensions, garages, garden buildings, porches, garden rooms, outbuildings and restoration work. We specialise in the production and restoration of traditional green oak timber framed buildings for both private and commercial clients. Frameworks was established by Matt Dunne in 2004 after working for a number of years in the timber framing industry.

Oak has been used in this country as a traditional building material for hundreds of years. The resilience and strength of the material makes it ideal for use in the construction industry, as does its innate warmth as a natural product. There was certainly a lull in the appreciation and manufacture of these buildings until about twenty years ago when their historic importance and interest in the skills needed to make them was revived. In addition to this we now have a huge environmental push towards a greener lifestyle and a hundred and one television programmes showing us what can be achieved.
