RETIREMENT BECKONS

Our last house leaves the factory on 23 February 2026 and then we shall be tidying up the yard and buildings and Timber Frame Design & Build will be no more.   It has been a blast and everyone here has thoroughly enjoyed helping myriad clients create the home of their dreams. 

The website will remain live until the last of us leaves the building.  Thank you for reading our website over the years and good luck with building whatever it is that you want to build. 

Timber frame is a great way of building - just make sure the groundworks are level and true, the panels are square; whoever erects it knows how to follow the structural requirements and use a level to keep it vertical and you will be warm, safe and comfy for a lifetime.

The opportunity to self build one's own home is so very exciting and whilst all the sketching and planning is going on, it all seems incredibly achievable and straightforward.  All those problems folks face on Grand Designs are avoidable and won't happen to me! 

In our experience, that's exactly the mindset you need.  By approaching the whole shabbang with a positive, can-do, risk assessing, plentiful planning direction, many of the problems seen on TV programmes can be planned to be avoided. 

But....  a big but.....

Building a house necessitates the use of people as well as materials: and it is generally the animate, not inanimate that are the root of the aforementioned problems (but your positive mindset should give you plenty of alternative ways to sort things out!)  Positivity is definitely the key.
