Timber framed buildings
We design and build traditionally jointed green timber framed buildings in oak, chestnut and Douglas fir or Larch to individuals needs. We build small single storey outbuildings and offices as well as large two storey barns, workshops and homes. We have built a range of timber buildings in different styles, sizes and budgets and are happy to discuss different techniques for different budgets.
