Coops Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperJohnG Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 @Coops why do you want to avoid large TF companies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coops Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 Mainly because I don't have enough money to engage with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpmiller Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 how do you know it would be expensive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coops Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freshy Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hi Coops, I've just been browsing Fleming's designs, who did you go with in the end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
