"The UK & Irish Republic's Unique Residential Timber-Frame Design Specialists AND 'DIY' Self-Building Professionals!"
Services: Bespoke "Self-Assembly" Timber-Frame 'Kits'
|
Our unique 'umbrella' service is provided to wrap everything up in a neat package that will keep 'life' as simple as possible for our clients; i.e. its our version of the 'package-kit' company's "choose your design and then leave everything to us" approach but without the inevitable 'eye-watering' price 'tag' and without getting you caught up in the exceedingly high risk 'practice' of making huge 'upfront' payments for everything!
None of us want anything to be more difficult than is absolutely necessary ~ hence the enduring attraction of having everything neatly wrapped up in a 'SIPS' or 'package-kit' deal ~ however using such an approach would have DOUBLED the cost of any of our 'self-build' projects. Whilst our 'kit' service doesn't have the huge expense of 'SIPS' or 'package-kits' nor the attendant financial risk involved with making huge 'upfront' payments; it does allow you to avoid all the hassle of getting quotes for materials, placing orders and/or arranging for delivery of the structural materials while still letting you enjoy the full benefit of simply paying competitive 'net' trade prices for everything; i.e. without all the usual manufacturer's factory & office overheads and profits, heavy lifting gear/cranage costs, 'erection crew' costs, profit 'mark-ups', etc. that so quickly ramp-up the 'build' costs on 'SIPS' or 'package-kit' based projects.
NB: The actual expense of choosing a 'package-kit' or 'SIPS' based 'build' probably wouldn't matter too much if the end-product was actually superior in performance and/or quality; or if any alternative option was equally expensive. But the fact is that our alternative approach to timber-frame house-building is significantly cheaper and can easily match or exceed the thermal and 'airtightness' performance of 'SIPS' and 'packaged-kits'; even if built by an inexperienced 'DIY' enthusiast! Our unique service makes it possible for clients to avoid having to organise everything without having to spend a 'fortune' for some 'SIPS' or 'package-kit' manufacturer to do it for them!
NB: As indicated above; there is virtually NO upper limit to the maximum service we can provide! Our service is provided using what is effectively a ‘cost-plus’ arrangement; i.e. the “cost” part is the net trade price of the materials, the “plus” part is the agreed fee to cover all our services. (NB: Our fees are always quoted on an ‘all-in’ basis; i.e. we do NOT charge clients extra for sundry expenses such as travelling and subsistence, etc.; and providing a duplicate set of ‘weather-proof’ drawings, etc. for site usage is an integral part of our service! Only payments to third-parties; i.e. Local Authority fees, independent 'as built' test certifier fees, etc. are NOT included.)
2. Whilst we will endeavour to ensure that you pay the absolute minimum for all the structural materials and we can guarantee there will be no 'mark-ups', added profit-margins, 'lost' trade discounts, etc. please note that; due to the 'bespoke' nature of our structural design work; the actual cost of those materials cannot be assessed until our design work has been done and quotations obtained for delivery of the materials to your site's specific location. IMPORTANT To ensure total financial transparency and your peace of mind; ALL materials will not only be competitively sourced from trade suppliers, they will also be invoiced directly to you so that you will get the full benefit of any trade discounts and retain full control over all payments to manufacturers, suppliers and merchants ~ as well as access to extended credit facilities via merchant accounts and credit card payment. So NO upfront payments of any kind and everything supplied at minimum trade prices!
Our Guiding Philosophy ~To appreciate what our clients want and to provide an unique response that will create great 'added value' for them.
