Timber Frame Engineering

In recent years, timber frame structures have returned to the forefront of structural engineering in the UK. Their sustainability, high insulation properties and fast erection times have made them the first choice for many structures including housing, apartment blocks and school classrooms.

Our highly respected teams work with Timber Frame Manufacturers in the South West to produce efficient bespoke dwellings and commercial structures, as well as with a Midlands based company which provides frames for one of the largest national housebuilders from its’ fully automated factory. They are able to design all types of timber structures, as well as providing fully detailed fabrication drawings for the production line.
