the process

A standard set of architectural plans are the requirement to start the project, these can either be hard copies or as is more commonly the case today, electronic copies.

We use a 3D CAD modelling process to analyse the design of the timber frame. From this we produce manufacturing drawings and a cutting list which is ready to be fed directly to a CNC optimising saw.
The panels are produced in our workshop and are stacked in order ready for transportation and assembly when on site.

Following completion of ground works for the structure on site, the panels arrive and can be quickly erected to form a completed structure for the follow on trades.

We aim to provide a turn-key service for our customers. After receiving a set of architectural plans for the property we can provide:

  • Fast response with quotation
  • Timber frame design and manufacture.
  • Full structural calculations.
  • Guaranteed supply dates
  • Erection service
  • Ongoing project support as required.

Since the intermediate floors provide an integral part of the structure in platform construction, we recommend the use of engineered timber I Beams which provide much greater dimensional accuracy and stability.

Normally we undertake the design and supply of the floor and trussed roof as part of our supply package.

If we are contracted to erect the structure for the developer then the frame panels, floor structures and trussed roof are erected ready for the following trades to continue.

‘We aim to provide the developer with an alternative to conventional construction that surpasses all present building regulations and provides genuine environmental and economic advantages.’
