Services
Complex Timber Structures
We design and construct multi-functional timber complexes for domestic and commercial use. Our structures combine speed of assembly with architectural elegance, using off-site fabrication to minimise disruption. Clients benefit from cost-effective solutions that accommodate diverse budgets while maintaining structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.
Rooftop Extensions
Our lightweight timber rooftop extensions maximise existing building space efficiently. Utilising proven structural systems, we create multi-storey additions with minimal occupant disruption. The use of insulated panels and versatile cladding options ensures energy efficiency and seamless integration with existing architecture.
Bespoke Buildings
We transform architectural concepts into reality through precision-engineered timber frames. Our 40-year expertise enables creation of unique structures from small cabins to grand designs. Advanced jointing techniques and sustainably sourced materials ensure durability while maintaining visual appeal.
Commercial Projects
Our commercial spaces combine lightweight durability with expansive design possibilities. Using modular systems, we deliver large-scale projects on time and within budget. The structural spanning capacity allows creation of column-free spaces while maintaining environmental credentials through sustainable materials.
Residential Construction
We specialise in creating high-end residential properties tailored to individual requirements. From mountain retreats to urban penthouses, our timber structures offer sustainable alternatives to traditional materials. The combination of glulam beams and insulated panels ensures both structural performance and energy efficiency.
