Timber frames for self builds
Lakeland Timber Frame offers a co-operative self-build service to private individuals. Working with you and your architect to provide the best timber-framed solution for your building project. We can also offer advice on the whole building process, as well as supply and erect the timber frame.

The engineer ensures that the integrity, strength and substance of the timber frame meets the recommended standards. They then construct the timber frames and components in their workshop facility, so that they can be assembled quickly and easily. Once foundations are prepared, timber frames are erected on site.
The advantages of timber-framed construction are well known and it is becoming more widely used because of environmental and energy conservation concerns.
