THE PROCESS

Our Oak Timber Frame Building Process

Initial Contact & Consultation

During this time we will find out what you are wanting to achieve. Every project is unique - at this stage we get to know what you want and need from the project.

 

This is a great opportunity to get to know each other and build a lasting rapport. Good communication is essential to ensure your project runs smoothly. 

​

You can get the ball rolling here.

Timber Sourcing

We like to be as sustainable as possible so try to source close from home. We're extremely lucky to have a sawmill nearby that can provide quality Scottish oak. Other occasions call for a larger order of European oak, coming via sawmills in England. The size of the job, and if there is direct glazing involved, really dictates where the timber will come from. 

 

Whether working with Oak, Larch, Douglas Fir or engineered timbers, our experienced team check the timbers thoroughly to ensure they are fit for the job.  

Design

Drawing on our expertise we design bespoke buildings & oak timber frames that are beautiful and functional. Using computer modeling we will design your building, generating 3D images for you to get a feel for the space we will create.

​

Maybe you already have an architect, that we will work closely with. If not we can always point you in the right direction.

Workshop Manufacture

Once the design has been signed off by an engineer, been given planning permission and obtained a building warrant, we can finally get cutting your frame. 

​

Employing methods that have been passed down through the generations, with the help of a few modern tools, our team enjoy their time in the workshop. Taking pride in every joint they cut. Taking time to think through every junction. With their mind on the finished result from the outset, our handcrafted timber frames are second to none.

​

Costing

Once we've agreed on a design you love & chosen which materials will suit you best, we can develop an estimate for your project.

 

We are sincere in our pricing, and aim to accommodate varying budgets. We will never cut corners to bring costs down, our reputation is built on the quality we produce. Savings can be made in a frame through careful design and aesthetic choices.  

Site Installation

All going well the sun will be shining, but even if it's not, your frame will be going up. Our highly skilled team of green oak specialists will install your frame with expert precision. An exciting moment as very quickly you have a building on your site.  Depending on our involvement in the rest of the project that might be us done. If there's glazing to be done we'll see you again soon. Sometime's we will be even more involved. 

​

In a few days your site will be transformed with a new timber frame handcrafted in our workshops in Angus, Scotland.
