Timber Frame Homes
Custom-designed timber frame homes combine traditional appeal with superior energy efficiency and fast build times. Built using responsibly sourced timber and modern engineering, these structures offer thermal performance, structural integrity, and aesthetic flexibility, supporting low-carbon or Passivhaus standards as required.
Extensions
We design and construct timber frame extensions tailored to residential properties, ensuring seamless integration with existing structures. Our solutions provide sustainable, thermally efficient additions for kitchens, conservatories, or multi-storey expansions, completed with precision and minimal disruption.
Outbuildings
Timber frame outbuildings include stables, lodges, offices, and workshops, built to the same exacting standards as residential projects. These structures offer durability, sustainability, and adaptable design, suitable for both domestic and commercial applications.
Insulation Options
Our insulation packages enhance thermal performance in timber frames, reducing energy consumption by up to 40%. Factory-fitted solutions ensure consistent quality, compliance with regulations, and long-term carbon storage within the building's structure for improved eco-efficiency.
Easi-Joists
Easi-joists are open-web floor systems designed for precision manufacturing and rapid on-site assembly. They provide structural stability, accommodate services like electrics and plumbing, and support weather-resistant decking for efficient, durable flooring solutions.
