I am working with a structural engineer specialising in Traditional Timber frames to design a new build Wealden Hall House. Could anyone point me towards a person / company with a good degree of experience in efficient building design for traditional timber frames? Pursuing a truly historically-accurate frame design results in some specific cold-bridging issues (use of continuous timber posts / plates / joists through cross sections), that we are seeking mitigation strategies for. Thank you. -
Hi everyone, I’m a builder and also a student in my final year of a construction degree. I’m trying to gather information about issues, challenges and successes self builders experience when planning/building there own home. Mainly in gaining planning permission and complying with constraints that a project has? My subject area and also passion is within alternative construction methods (earthships, straw bale, hybrids etc.) and anything that has a low impact on the environment (renewable tech, eco design, energy efficiency). I also hope to have my own self build project on the go in a couple of years time (fingers crossed) so any information, experiences, stories or guides that anyone has would be gratefully appreciated. Cheers, Jonny
