We have received 15 Conservation and Historic Buildings Design Awards for our work.

| If you purchase one of our barn frames to re-erect on your own land, or have your
own redundant barn, we can prepare a design, prepare and submit the detailed design and
specification of works for Planning, Listed Buildings, and Building regulations approval,
let the project and see through to completion.

|
| If you would like a building for which one of our existing dismantled frames is
unsuitable, such as an open-fronted traditional cartshed-style garage, with an office/
guest suite/studio etc. above, we can design and build to your requirements using
reclaimed timbers from stock. We do not use new oak where there will be any form of
heating, as we consider that the shrinkage and splitting likely to occur is unacceptable.

|
| Extensions and additions to existing buildings and annex buildings. We have
considerable experience in designing and building such buildings, very often requiring
listed building planning consent, to provide studios, pool-side changing and entertainment
areas, and offices.

doors, etc. We have the original materials and expertise to ensure that these works are
successful. |

many years - they sit comfortably in the landscape.
