Keeping the client and the client’s vision central to the project
By keeping the client and the client’s vision central to the project, Heartwood makes the process transparent and enjoyable. The price remains accessible too, as meticulous preparation and planning ensure the potential of the plot, the design and the materials is optimised.
In a nutshell, Heartwood integrates the craft of traditional wood framing with rest of the build to the highest state-of-the-art specifications and service standards.
From dream to reality, project planning and management
During the frame design process we work directly with the client and architect, structural engineer, main contractors and affiliated experts. The architect or client will usually send us drawings of their idea for a timber framed structure. We translate this into a frame drawing using specialist software, allowing us to ensure the design will work structurally, and giving the client a clear visualisation of the finished frame. Once the frame design has been finalised and cleared with our engineers, we are ready to begin production. We then remain part of the process until the whole build has been done.
We value working as part of a design-build team adding our specialist skills and knowledge to the project. While we do not provide architectural design services, we are glad to work with your architect. If you do not yet have an architect, we will be glad to discuss your project with you and recommend one.
