Timber Frame Technician.

[Coops]

Morning self builders 

 

Had a quick scan through the forum but couldn't find any specific content. I'm looking for an architectural technician with a solid track record in timber frame construction. Ideally in the Welsh borders or west mids, but doesn't really matter too much. Want to avoid large TF companies if at all possible.

 

Any reccomendations greatly appreciated...

I have someone to recommend, PM incoming.

[jonM]

PM'd a recommendation as well.

@Coops why do you want to avoid large TF companies? 

[Coops]

Mainly because I don't have enough money to engage with them.

[dpmiller]

how do you know it would be expensive?

[Coops]

I don't think it will be expensive, just more than I need to pay, I'm happy to stick build the super structure myself, which I'm hoping will represent a decent saving over off-site fabrication.

 

That said, I've already had one quote from Fleming of around 50k (installed) question is if I can beat that and by how much.

Hi Coops,

 

I've just been browsing Fleming's designs, who did you go with in the end?

I stick framed my last place on site, you will save a big chunk of cash, but it will take ages, just depends if you can spend 6-8 weeks chopping up timber versus 2 days and a crane to get a factory one put up. 

There’s a company called Cullen timber engineering that do a lot of design details.
