Contact Us Our Services
about us

Timber Frame Manufacturers may find that during busier periods, they struggle to meet their clients' needs and for self-builders, estimating timber quantities & interpreting architectural drawings can be time consuming.

We work closely with our corporate clients' existing design teams, or in some cases become the design team for self-builders, providing full working timber frame drawing packages, which:

  • Increase the design capacity for manufacturers
  • Complement Architectural drawings
  • Provide builders with clear instructions to work from
  • Reduce the risk of materials being over-ordered

Services

Depending on your requirements, our services can include all, or a combination of the following:

Sole Plate

Sole plate layouts/setting out drawings

These detail the interface between the foundations and timber frame structure.

Panel

Timber frame panel layouts

To indicate where the individual components of the structure are to be positioned.

Section

Sections & Supporting Details

Accompanying section drawings with localised details. These can include steel manufacturing drawings where required.

Truss

Indicative floor and truss layouts

These drawings are used to communicate the areas of the structure that are to be designed by your chosen specialist manufacturers.

3D model packages
