Wanted - Timber Frame House Builder

Happy_saver_4

We're living in S Wales, Carmarthen/Llanelli area and wish to build a timber frame house on a plot we already own.

Can anybody personally recommend a local builder/timber frame supplier for us to use?

they are called Welsh Oak Frames in Caersws, Newtown Powys is the addres - i'm sorry i dont have a number. One of the driectors is called Paul Edmunds and hes very helpful. The have been in business for a very long tiem and have built houses of all sizes in various places in the UK and not just local to this area.

I live in Pembrokeshire and have been in my Timber frame home since xmas last year. 'Ffosaron Homes' can do you a full build (as I did, but leaving the decoration and carpentry for me ) or you could just buy the kit from them and DIY!. They're currently building 3 or 4 other homes within a mile of mine.
Hope this helps

From a professional point of view i cannot be seen to reccomend a specific manufacturer, however I would reccomend that you invest some money into the following service:

http://www.trada.co.uk/services/410280_framecheck_timber_consult.html

If you ask to speak with Matthew Winn when making your enquiries and mention this forum to me, I will try to arrange some kind of discount for you. We deal with private dwellings and huge timber frame developments, so we have the skills and knowledge that no one else in the timber frame industry has!

We can check your plans/drawings, and I gaurantee there will be mistakes at this stage! We also offer a site visit service where we come on site, check all aspects and report back to you with photo's and observations as well as our reccomendations.

We are used by most of the top 100 construction companies in the UK, and they wouldn't be without this service now they've seen what it can do to save them time, money and prevent problems from happening.

I hope to hear from you.
