Drawing on over forty years of experience, we offer expert technical advice to ensure you get the best from using wood and deliver excellence for your clients.

Wood is a superb building material that has been used throughout the ages; many thousands of historic and modern buildings around the world testify to its enduring beauty and versatility. To deliver a successful timber or joinery package, the design, procurement, manufacturing and installation processes are critical. Sometimes, applying just a few key principles can make the difference that ensures your contract is delivered on time and on budget.

Request Report

Providing technical support on projects ranging from luxury residential properties and city office developments, through to high-profile projects such as the Guildhall School of Music and Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport.

PRE CONTRACT

ARCHITECTS | INTERIOR DESIGNERS

We can provide you with an unrivalled insight into how timber and joinery can best be used both structurally and aesthetically.

We believe it is beneficial to work closely with architects and designers from an early stage in the design, forging a relationship that lasts throughout the project.

Our early involvement also helps to develop a harmonious relationship with the joinery contractor which can minimise late design changes and ensure your design concept is realised.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

CONTRACTORS | PROPERTY CONSULTANTS

We take pride in helping bring a design concept to life, but while good design is essential, it is only one phase of the process.

Turning the designer’s vision into reality and ensuring it lasts the test of time are both important and this is where our knowledge and experience can make a valuable contribution.

EXPERT WITNESS

SOLICITORS | BUILDING OWNERS

A lack of understanding, poor design and inaccurate specification can lead to structural defects and quality issues that, inevitably, can have financial consequences.

Our experience of timber and the joinery and woodworking industry has led us to provide an expert witness service.

We use our knowledge and experience to analyse contract documentation, examine work carried out and investigate the cause of the issues raised. Having done so, we prepare and submit detailed reports for use in determining a legal settlement.
