Commercial Projects
We have decades of commercial project experience – collaborating on a diverse range of projects both large and small, across the UK, Japan, America and Europe.
Our portfolio includes a huge variety of oak framed structures including wedding venues, retail facilities, education and tourism enterprises, community buildings, museums, food & drink establishments, holiday accommodation and theatres.
Our commercial clients
Clients range from small rural enterprises, to large national corporations. Our approach is always the same – to help deliver an exceptional product within your budget whilst offering added value and expertise throughout the journey.
Our buildings are regarded as the most beautiful oak frames available, handmade from the finest restoration grade oak in our traditional workshops, with an unrivalled attention to detail and our peerless customer service.
Every commercial project is bespoke and we pride ourselves on delivering the right solution, no matter how complex or unusual. Innovative design briefs are a speciality, with sustainability at the core of what we do. We are also experts at guiding clients in how best to maximise the potential of their budget.
We are large enough to be reliable, professional and accountable, but small enough to be exceptionally flexible and to passionately care about each and every project.
Previous clients include:
The National Trust – David Austin Roses – The Forestry Commission – The National Memorial Arboretum – Retreat East – South Downs Heritage Centre – Majestic Trees – Oving Village Hall – Ove Arup – Sir Robert McAlpine

Regardless of the Contract size we aim to offer support and expertise throughout the project, and can even help with interior fit out, and marketing of your venture.
