Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do we get started on site?

The first step is to establish which build route you are looking to use and then begin discussions with potential main contractors and sub-contractors. We would be delighted in talking to you about your build project. Please call us on 01938 500 797 and ask to speak with Ben.

2. Do we need building regulations?

You may need building regulation approval, contact the team who will assist you with this aspect.

3. How much will my build cost?

We provide a detailed costing service that covers all stages of work. The build cost will depend on your project specification and complexity. The more information you are able to give us, the more accurate estimates are. Please get in touch for further information on 01938 500 797.

4. Do you offer structural engineering calculations?

We work closely with preferred structural engineers who are fully conversant with our system and timber frame. As part of our building regulations package we would liaise closely with the engineers to ensure value engineering.
