Our Approach

Considered work. Honest advice.

How we work matters as much as what we build. These are the things we hold ourselves to on every job, whatever its size.

What we hold ourselves to

Speed and precision, without compromising craftsmanship.

We move quickly when a project is ready to move, and we sweat the details that matter, joinery tolerances, timber selection, structural integrity.

Planning support, drawings and submissions.

Many of our clients come to us before a single drawing exists. We can take a project from sketch through to planning, building control and structural sign-off.

Flexible service, from frame to finish.

Some clients want the whole build managed. Others just want the frame delivered to site. We work either way, and tell you which makes more sense for your project.

How a Project Runs

From first conversation to raised frame.

  1. A conversation

    Tell us what you're planning. A sketch on paper is plenty. We'll talk through what's possible, what it involves, and whether we're the right people for it.

  2. Design & planning

    Drawings, planning submissions and building control where the project needs them, or we work directly from your architect's design.

  3. Fabrication

    The frame is cut, jointed and pre-fitted before it ever reaches you, so raising day holds no surprises.

  4. Raising & finish

    We raise the frame and carry the build as far as you want us to: just the frame, a weathertight shell or a finished building.

Our Promise

Advice you can build on.

Between us, the team has spent over a hundred years working oak. It's what we do, but it isn't always what a project needs. When that's the case, we'll say so plainly and point you in a better direction, because the reputation of a small company is built one honest conversation at a time.

If we cannot add clear value to your project, we will say so.
