Why using 'package-kits' and 'SIPS' is comparatively rare in most other countries!

The worldwide popularity of site-fabricated timber-frame houses isn't just down to being able to build high-quality, high-performance luxury homes much more cheaply than any 'flat-pack' package-kit or 'SIPS' construction can achieve; it's the sheer speed and simplicity of the work involved.  NO technical knowledge is required; NO practical experience is needed ~ just a set of 'Framing Layout Drawings' and the 'Nailing Details'!

  • There are over 200,000 'DIY' enthusiasts self-building their own timber-frame homes each year in the USA alone; in fact, the number of homes built by people doing it for themselves far exceeds the entire annual output of the combined UK & Irish Republic's house-building industries ~ and they are just the 'DIY' enthusiasts!  Needless to say; they wouldn't be doing it in such huge numbers if it wasn't very simple and straightforward.  Of course; they aren't concerned about the technical requirements, they simply cut and nail the timber together as specified on the framing layout drawings, erect it and then fix on the sheathing!  And our advanced methods are much quicker and simpler still.

With nearly 40 years experience of designing and building 'bespoke' timber-frame structures for individually designed houses and bungalows; we are specialists not only in 'bespoke' residential timber-frame design but also in high-efficiency erection techniques that we have developed over the years in order to maximise the advantages of using advanced timber-frame construction.

  • Our clients get the full benefit of being able to get their houses built using an even quicker, simpler approach to the construction so that even the most inexperienced builders and 'DIY' enthusiasts alike can build the highest quality houses with the performance to match anything that 'factory-production' can claim to achieve whilst slashing prices to a fraction of the 'usual' cost!

Whilst the rest of the house-building industry seems to delight in finding ever greater difficulties to obstruct the whole process; our philosophy and ethos as professional 'self-builders' has always been to keep everything as simple as possible.  Houses are always quicker and cheaper to build with a common-sense led approach to how things are done; only a 'fool' makes life unnecessarily difficult.  We have a full range of services available to handle all the 'on-site' concerns; e.g. simple framing layout drawings and nailing specifications, etc.; for even the most inexperienced people and 'DIY' enthusiasts to quickly and easily 'learn' how to fabricate and build houses using our advanced timber-frame construction techniques. 

  • We can also supply material lists, cutting schedules, obtain material quotes, etc. as well as providing in-depth advice and support for every aspect of your project or housing development.  Unlike the vast majority of professional consultants; we are fully aware of what is required for a successful project or development because we've been there and done it so many times on our own projects; so we know how to design everything to maximise the cost-effectiveness of how a house is built and to minimise the potential difficulties and problems!

Although it's obvious that anybody; not familiar enough with advanced timber-frame construction to build straight from the 'approved' Building Regulations / Warranty drawings; will need large-scale wall-framing layout drawings, nailing details and 'step-by-step' erection instructions to work from; as experienced 'DIY' Hands-ON self-build professionals; we know how important it is to have a set of fully 'weather-proofed' 'A3' sized drawings in an 'A3' sized 'weather-proofed' ring-binder ~  specifically for active use on-site; i.e. where the drawings will actually be needed and used; so that is what we always supply!

 

It's just another small example of how our practical 'Hands-ON' building experience has helped to create our unique client-orientated services!

 


Our Guiding Philosophy ~

To appreciate what our clients want and to provide an unique response that will create great 'added value' for them.
