3-Bedroom Detached House in Basildon

This impressive 3-bedroom chalet-style residence has been meticulously crafted for a valued client, emphasising spaciousness and modern design.

The home features expansive glazed areas on the rear elevation, allowing natural light to flood the interior, while a charming oak entrance porch adds an inviting touch.

To achieve optimal structural integrity and aesthetic appeal, we employed a robust roofing system consisting of steel purlin beams paired with top-hat trusses and handcrafted rafters.

The dormer windows have been constructed using innovative pre-insulated manufactured panels, enhancing both style and energy efficiency.

The external panels are fully factory-insulated, supplemented by an additional layer of internal insulation that we installed meticulously. This combination achieves an exceptional U-value of 0.13 W/m²K, ensuring excellent thermal performance and energy savings for homeowners.

 

Size: 296 m²
Construction Time: 15 days

4 Bed Detached House & Car Lodge in Suffolk

This beautifully designed and spacious four-bedroom home in Suffolk features a sophisticated attached car lodge that perfectly complements the overall aesthetic of the home.

For this project, we supplied a high-performance 140mm insulated panel, allowing the client to seamlessly install the service batten and insulation-backed plasterboard. This combination results in an impressive U-Value, significantly boosting the home’s energy efficiency and creating a more sustainable living environment.

Our team also designed and installed the stunning oak features that flow throughout the car lodge. It boasts unique attic trusses that create additional vertical space for an extra bedroom or playroom.

Inside, the ground floor invites you into a light-filled open-plan kitchen and dining area, a snug retreat and a dedicated study. The beautiful full-height galleried hall and landing area serve as a breathtaking centerpiece, showcasing the home’s

Chalet Style Detached House, Bury St Edmunds

This charming detached house, designed in a chalet style, boasts a spacious floor area of 205 m² and was a pleasure to work on from start to finish.

Our clients, a young family embarking on their first self-build project on their own land, were actively involved in every step of the process. The skilled follow-on trades they engaged significantly enhanced the overall quality of the finished home.

High-quality drawings and 3D renderings helped visualize the final product, ensuring clarity at each stage of the timber frame build, which was completed in just two weeks. The timber frame design featured thoughtful modifications to the roof trusses and the configuration of the dormers, enhancing both aesthetics and functionality.

Inside, the house comprises four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a master suite with a standard ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe, as well as a family bathroom. A standout feature of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area, which is complemented by a study and a playroom, making it ideal for family living.

Size: 205 m²
Timber frame construction time: 2 weeks

“The timber frame product perfectly suited our thermal needs and offered the thinnest envelope we had discovered. The installation of the timber frame components was exceptionally well-organized, with skilled tradesmen who made this phase of the build incredibly exciting. Any challenges we encountered were communicated effectively and reassuringly. Overall, the experience has been fantastic!”
