Design and consultancy services tailored to your needs.
Design and consultancy services tailored to your needs.
With over 20 years of experience in the timber frame and offsite construction industry, I bring a deep understanding of both design and manufacturing processes. My background spans roles from Timber Frame Designer to Technical Manager within a major UK housebuilder’s offsite manufacturing division, giving me hands-on expertise across the full project lifecycle.
I have delivered solutions for a wide range of project types, including large housing developments, bespoke one-off homes, multi-storey apartment blocks, student accommodation, hotels, and care homes. Having worked with several leading UK manufacturers, I understand the technical, commercial, and production challenges that clients face—and how to overcome them.
I offer a flexible, tailored service, supporting clients from early-stage scheme consultancy through to complete DFMA drawing packages. Using MiTek PAMIR and Woodengine, I produce efficient, accurate designs that align with manufacturing requirements and help streamline build programmes.
Whether you need expert input on a new scheme or a full technical design package, I provide practical, industry-driven solutions that support high-quality offsite delivery
Complete project designs from approval drawings to DFMA drawings and site installation layouts, using either Mitek PAMIR or Woodengine as needed. Packages are tailored to meet each customer's requirements.
Offer complete 3D packages for BIM modelling and clash detection of M&E services and architectural models, with IFC files available upon request.
We offer a full service, starting with liaising with architects to review their designs and ensure they are best suited for offsite manufacture. This includes producing design concept appraisals, organizing structural engineering with STA-approved engineers to deliver value-engineered solutions, and managing customers and architects throughout the process to ensure foundation designs align with engineering and architectural drawings. We also handle the approval process and coordinate everything before the kit arrives on site. This service maximizes efficiency and minimizes potential issues on site.
We offer general consultancy on technical issues, as well as guidance on new wall systems and house ranges. Our services include accreditation advice and managing submissions, backed by hands-on experience in securing NHBC acceptance for Closed Panels. We also provide design-focused advice to ensure compliance with STA audits.
We have prior experience working with Consultec as well as both Steico and Finnframe, so we’re open to exploring any tailored opportunities as needed. Get in touch today for an informal chat.
