Frame Technologies: Early Engagement is Key to Success

If you’re considering building with timber frame, one of the best things you can do is get in touch with an STA Assure certified timber frame supplier as early as possible.
We can assist with design, building regulations and planning challenges, so taking your questions to the specialist from the outset can be much more cost effective.
Your project is unique to you, so provide as much information about your objectives as possible. Be clear about your budget, as well as any specifications to incorporate into your build, such as sustainability levels or design features, and inform the supplier how much involvement you need.
At Frame Technologies, we can help you through every stage of your design and construction journey.

Brett Martin: Cotswold Home Cascade

Traditional Cotswold stone and cast iron style gutters and downpipe features allow this new build property to blend into its rural Cotswolds landscape. Built to a high specification, the Cascade rainwater system symbolises all the benefits of modern building materials since it is more cost effective than real cast iron gutters and downpipes and much easier to install and maintain. With all the authentic detailing, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s been there for many decades.
