With over ten years experience designing and manufacturing a wide variety of round wood timber frames we are able to help realise any scale of project, from complete dwellings through to extraordinary raised platforms and towers.

We provide cost effective and exciting solutions for all post and beam frames; please get in contact if you have an idea for a project we could help with.

Design and Planning

We are able to work from architects drawings or with you directly to develop an idea through to a finished build.

  • Concept design taking through ideas and showing what is possible.

  • 3D CAD model we produce a model of each of our designs to help visualise the project and for later use in manufacturing.

  • Planning we are able to take on all aspects of the planning application process.

Manufacture

  • Each pole is carefully selected to suit its function within the frame.

  • The bark is then removed using a high pressure jet of collected rain water to leave a smooth natural finish.

  • Working from the CAD model every round wood component is cut using our unique and highly accurate machining process.

  • We only remove material where necessary leaving the natural shape and strength of the timber intact.

Installation

  • We generally use very minimal concrete pads and tailor the frame to fit the land form using site levels we have taken

  • All timber is held off the ground using high density polythene spacers or galvanised steel to ensure longevity of the structure

  • We install the structure with whichever piece of plant or machinery suits the situation from hand winches to spider cranes.

  • Every joint has already been calculated and cut in the workshop minimising costly and disruptive site time.

After the frame installation

  • We have experience of many different types of building work and are happy to take the project through to completion.

  • We can provide you or your builder with a complete design document including drawings and CAD model to ensure a smooth transition onto the next phase of the build.
