Early-Stage Project Support
Shaping Timber Frame Projects from the Start
Getting expert guidance at the start of your timber-frame project - whether you’re an architect, structural engineer, contractor, or self-builder - is the most effective way to ensure your design is achievable, cost-efficient, and suited to timber construction.
Why Early Support Matters
Early timber-frame engagement helps align architectural design, engineering, and fabrication - reducing onsite risk and preventing delays. It ensures a timber-centric design approach, enabling a smoother construction process and better project outcomes for both commercial builds and self-build homes.
Specialist Timber Frame Advice
Getting specialist timber frame advice early in your project can make all the difference. A 1:1 consultation with our experienced team provides a comprehensive overview of your design, plot, and objectives, helping you understand what’s feasible, cost-effective, and buildable from the very start. Whether you’re imagining a traditional green oak frame, a modern engineered timber home, or a hybrid solution, we show you what’s achievable while respecting structural limits, planning requirements, and buildability.
Professionals
Engaging a timber frame specialist early in the design process provides architects, engineers, and contractors with crucial insights that streamline decision-making and improve project outcomes. We will assess your project’s geometry, constraints, and performance requirements from the outset, ensuring timber is integrated efficiently and effectively.
Key benefits of early engagement include:
- Early Timber Frame Design Support: Quickly determine whether a timber structure suits your project and align it with planning, regulatory, and performance targets.
- Reduced Risk and Improved Coordination: Identify potential clashes, structural challenges, or fabrication issues before they become costly problems.
- Better Budget and Programme Certainty: Receive guidance on timber availability, lead times, and costs to support accurate tendering and procurement.
- Value to Your Client: Deliver stronger proposals, smoother builds, and more reliable outcomes, enhancing client confidence and satisfaction.
By incorporating timber expertise at the concept stage, professional teams gain a clear, buildable strategy, reduce risk, and improve both design quality and project efficiency.
