Vision Development South built a timber-frame cottage and ancillary building for us. The work was overseen by Luke and we couldn't have been happier with the quality of the work, service and timing. We would highly recommend anyone planning to build a timber-frame building to get in touch with them.

Vision Development is the perfect partner for Maverick Properties Ltd. We have used Vision on a number of occasions for a wide range of projects across the UK. in which they have shown their ability to meet critical timelines and follow budget forecasts accurately throughout challenging supply chain times, whilst maintaining the high H&S and workmanship standards on site.Many of the projects we have undertaken together have involved teams working together and thinking outside the box and implementing solutions for any challenges arising.Regardless of how complicated the task, Luke and the team at Vision work alongside us to solve problems and meet our needs, rather than finding the easiest and quickest fix that may have negative long-term impact.Vision have proven their wealth of construction and timber frame expertise with an proficient in-house team and associated experts in fields including designers and engineers. We would have no reservations in recommending Vision for any structural timber frame projects.
We approached a number of building companies with our proposal for the conversion of a steel framed barn and received varying responses. It is fair to say that Vision were the most enthusiastic and embraced the concept right from our first approach. Tim and his team supported and helped us in transforming our initial thoughts and plans into practical proposals. Like all complex projects there were issues that needed to be resolved, our barn conversion was not as straightforward as a new build house as we had to fit the timber frame structure around the steel barn frame. Working with us Vision found solutions for the technical difficulties and we ended up with a house that is exactly as we initially envisioned. Both in the office and on site Vision were easy to speak with and friendly, they kept us fully informed of what they were doing, delivering everything that they promised at the price quoted, despite the chaotic building material prices through 2022. If we were to take on another project we would definitely use Vision again.

Great to deal with, very efficient and timely. They did everything they said they would do and for a very good price. I would definitely recommend Vision to anyone looking to build an extension or complete home
We were a main contractor on a one off newbuild residential project near Winchester, Hants. We employed Vision Development to carry out the design, supply and fit elements of the timber frame, timber joists and roofs.From start to finish the experience with Vision was excellent, good design work, workmanship, service and on programme. They are a very professional companyWe would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them to others

We have been working with Vision Development South for the past 3 years at our Lakes development in the Cotswolds - The lakes By Yoo . They have so far supplied and erected timber framed buildings for eighteen apartments in three blocks and eight, two bed lakeside cabins on our site. The team at Vision have been an absolute pleasure to work with, every step of the way .
From the early design phase of all our buildings we've worked closely with Vision" in truly two way discussions . We were able to explore all the pros and cons of different timber frame wall build ups / achievable u values / open vs closed panel designs etc etc and all the effects these decisions will have on the whole build including , cost, erecting logistics , build speed etc through to finished building performance
Vision have been with us from day one on every decision, not only in relation to the timber frame but across the whole build, they've always been happy to share their experience and wisdom and are always quick to say: " no its cheaper/quicker for you to supply and fit this or that element onsite yourselves" etc.
Another of the many good points for us about working with Vision Development is that they can scale up to deliver as many buildings as needed but also the "family run" attitude and way of working makes them able to build smaller bespoke timber frame designs to our exact needs.
All our buildings were delivered and erected exactly to the pre- agreed programme. The cost is always very competitive and build quality is always very high.
In short, for their experience and professionalism, for their total commitment to quality throughout, but mostly for their friendly, honest, can-do work ethic, I can't recommend Vision Development highly enough !

We decided to take on a large renovation project and extend our home upwards and outwards. Our house had a flat roof and needed a new timber roof from scratch and a timber frame single storey extension.
We had to find a timber frame manufacturer. Our Architect supported us to find Vision.
This seemed a little daunting at first until we spoke to Vision Development and read the many positive reviews. Also considering the benefits of a timber frame over brick.
I am so pleased with our choice as the works have gone very smoothly, on time and in budget. No scary extras.
The wood was of a very high standard. The team are easy to work with and worked well onsite with the other tradesman. Luke the contracts
manager was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy.
We are very happy to see visions part in our masterplan finished and would give Vision 5 stars.
We are developers building new builds and contracted Vision Development to build us 7 timber frame houses. They did a great job delivering on quality and working within the times frames. Vision is a very friendly and helpful team always looking for solutions to fulfill our requirements. I would highly recommend and look forward to future cooperation.
Many Thanks
George

Vision helped turn our architect’s design for a three bedroom annex into a reality.
They managed the process from inception to construction, working to a fixed budget. The timber frame construction was erected on the scheduled day, and completed within a week of arriving on site, to budget. The accuracy of the planning meant we could co-ordinate all the trades with the arrival of the timber frame.
Luke was particularly helpful throughout the process. He advised not us only on the timber frame construction process, but also met with our builder and provided additional support with decisions on foundations, insulation and general planning. It is the first time I have completed a building project from the ‘ground up’ and will definitely use Vision for our next project.
I have no hesitation in recommending Vision Development for any timber frame requirements. From first contact through to project sign off they were friendly, helpful, responsive and very professional at all times. Their workmanship was excellent and they were flexible & accommodating with the inevitable challenges we faced along the way! It was a pleasure to work with the team at Vision and we would certainly do so again.
We recently embarked on the conversion of our bungalow into our dream home and after careful consideration chose to work with Vision development as our "timber frame suppliers". However, working with Luke and the Vision team they have contributed so much more than this in every aspect of this project and have guided us well beyond the scope of just 'supplying and installing a timber frame.'Their experience and knowledge across all areas of the build has been extraordinary and even after the installation of the frame have continued to be on hand to help us self manage our way towards the completion of this project.I cant get over how professional and well managed this firm is and how they always managed to find the time to expertly guide us through the whole process.. Ultimately the quality of what they deliver is absolutely first rate. And the real proof of this came when our building control inspector came to site and said it was the best timber frame project they had ever seen!I can wholeheartedly endorse Vision and can attest to the fact they are an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything!

When looking for a timber frame company to manufacture and erect a timber frame for my extension, Vision stuck out from the rest. I got 4 or 5 quotes, Vision wasn’t the cheapest, they also weren’t the most expensive, but they were the only company that really gave me the confidence I was looking for. They clearly had expertise and were going to support me through the process, not just supply a cheaply made frame and outsource the erection to an unknown contractor, this was the feeling I got from one of the others. I was invited to visit the factory where I saw how the panels were made, saw the work they were doing and had in-depth conversations with Tim. Vision is a family run business and these values really come through, also very important. Site visits were thoroughly carried out and I’m extremely happy with the end product. I would highly recommend Vision to anyone.
Most of our build progressed well, and ahead of schedule. Any minor issues were addressed and dealt with swiftly, both by the erectors Les and Ronnie, but especially Luke, with his prompt and very attentive attitude. He made this flow very smoothly and is a real credit to your company.
Obviously all behind the scenes deserve credit as well as it wouldn’t happen without all of you working well, it made what could have been really stressful for us, especially while living in the build downstairs, a lot easier.
Best wishes for Vision I’m the future, we shall (and already have) be recommending you going forwards.

First class service - friendly & efficient.
The contract manager allocated to our project ( Luke Macauley) was always available to solve any issues that arose promptly and efficiently.
From the outset of our Self-Build project to change our 1950's bungalow into our forever how Vision Development were excellent. Nothing was a major problem to overcome, including working under the tin hat to protect parts of our original house we wanted to keep. Dawid and Damian were excellent on site and Luke was always only a text away and able to respond to inevitable multiple questions we had along the way. Its now several weeks since the team left us and having now worked with many other trades I can safely say Vision have been a true pleasure and professional company to work with.

I give you 5 stars. As a first-timer to build an extension, I was very apprehensive, but Vision made it all an easy exercise and the final completion was even better than envisaged. Really nice wood detail, large windows and the raised ‘deck’ with the glass balustade give this agricultural home the wow factor.

We are 95% complete with our new build house project, Vision we’re contracted to provide a bespoke timber frame to meet the Passive House standards we had applied to the design. They were engaging and innovative in their approach, very willing to help with ideas for technical challenges in the design and also suggesting other companies to tackle the works outside their contract. Our design required a high degree of precision to achieve the architectural ambitions and our low energy targets. They did a really good job at a competitive price, and the experience was frankly a pleasure. Special mention has to be given to the site team led by Luke, who really cared about both the quality being delivered and was very diligent keeping us informed. There were a few hiccups along the way, as there always are with any project, but you learn more about a lot about a companies values through their approach to adversity. Vision operated with absolute professionalism and fairness throughout the project.

Vision helped me change a small bungalow into a family home, they were very professional and extremely helpful as this was a project that I decided to manage. Tim and Ian assisted me during the whole process and then once it was time for the build to start Luke was appointed as the contract manager who we are more than pleased with as he was very helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you Vision

It took me a lot more time than expected, but during Covid, it was a good weekend distraction, and I learnt a great deal.
It is debatably overkill for a garden building, but I’m glad we’ve built to such a high spec, and the great insulation means in winter it takes a few minutes with a 1kW radiator to heat.
With hindsight, there is a lot of stress in any building project, and thanks for bearing with us through this. I would never use floor cassettes again (unless I had a crane), but the precision and stability of the panels you made was commented on by the window fitter. All openings were exactly as specified on the original drawing, and there was no discernable movement between measuring and installing (which is apparently unusual in timber buildings). There’s obviously a boon in home offices and buildings of this sort, and I’m sure your company would do very well here. Having most of the frame pre-built dramatically reduced the complexity.
Best wishes. Thanks for all your help.
We contacted Vision in October 2019 in order to build a house in Graven Hill, Oxfordshire. Its taken us around 2 years all in, but now happy to very nearly be at the finish line.Vision were an integral part of this process, which is an exceptionally tricky one to navigate with all the various moving parts and legal obligations. They helped us with the design, and sourcing contractors for the job for various bits. Whilst there have been some hiccups along the way (what house build goes without), I'd quite happily recommend them.They have been amenable to later changes (we wanted solar panels, and so had to make a few structural changes to accomodate additional loading) in the process, and worked with us to hit our requirements throughout.The house itself is sturdily built, and was put together by a contractor suggest by Vision (Czajkowski Traders ltd) who has done a terrific job.If you're looking for something that is a bit more of a custom timber frame, then Vision can likely accomodate this more easily than some of the larger companies. Just as ever with building houses, be prepared for costs to go up somewhat.

Metrix Development Ltd build quality homes and have demanding standards when selecting materials to be incorporated into a construction. As with any developer we depend on quality of product, budget and timescales all of which were met by Vision Development. The site was difficult to access and situated next to a railway line therefore not permitting a crane to be brought onto site as would be normal. Not a problem to Vision, the panels were hand-balled into position and the job was completed.
Thanks Vision.

Having moved into my new bungalow in 2020 it was decided that a new extension would be a great addition and timber frame
was the way forward. Having contacted Vision Development we soon felt confident we were approaching the right Company.
The budget was agreed and contracts signed ready for the forthcoming build. The timber frame was of the highest quality
and arrived on site on the agreed date. The structure was assembled quickly and easily ready for the exterior render boarding
to be installed. I am delighted with the end product and would endorse Vision to anyone thinking of building a new home or extension.

Ardent New Homes is an independently owned development contractor with over 20 years combined experience in construction our reputation is important to us so we take time to do our due diligence when selecting products for our builds. We were fortunate to find Vision Development who fabricated a timber of the highest standard using quality modern manufacturing techniques, keeping to time schedule and budget which is of paramount importance for any developer. The timber frame has sped up the program of works and I am really pleased with the finished product. Thanks to the ‘Vision Team’, hope to do more business in the future.

We can highly recommend Vison Development for excellent customer service, great communication and most importantly, for a quality product. Company was chosen directly by our client but we are very pleased that we had an opportunity to work with such a professional and skilled company.

Delighted that I picked the right company for my timber frame . I surveyed several companies and visited several ‘ in progress sites’ . The product that Vision offered was of high quality and fantastic value compared with their competitors. After selecting Vision they worked well with my Architect and Structual engineer and all issues were resolved speedily. The erection process went well and the team were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble for them . As with all building projects there were problems along the way but all were resolved with no fuss . I would certainly recommend Vision for value and quality. Robert Towill

Following many hours researching building techniques for our new build we decided on a timber frame structure, which hit the sweet spot in terms of cost, ease, speed of construction, long term energy efficiency and friendly to the environment.The building is insulated and air tight to a high standard and with the addition of solar panels and battery storage we expect very low electricity bills.Tim and the Vision team have been very helpful with contacts, advice and tips. As a first time builder this proved invaluable and saved a lot of time, potential additional cost and head scratching! Based on many years experience in developing, building, coupled a keen interest in new methods and ideas they also liaised with our other suppliers where required, so an important part of the teamWe had two teams onsite; the first erected the prefabricated insulated panels and constructed the roof timbers and the second added the roof insulation, additional internal insulation, airtight layer and battens ready for plaster boarding.Both teams were very friendly and, contrary to all the stories you hear about builders, kept us informed at each stage, arrived on time and completed the work on time. They also highlighted some design issues and worked with us to resolve them. They were genuinely interested in the success of the project.

We used Vision Developments to build our Solid Oak Garden Room.
Despite the COVID 19 restrictions they had to work with they dealt with them efficiently and professionally throughout.
The oak frame is of excellent quality and looks superb, as well as being much admired.
Overall the building is a real asset to our small bungalow and we are really going to enjoy sitting there in the winter, nice and snug, looking out on our garden.
We can recommend Vision Developments for your project so many thanks to Tim, Jane, Luke and the team for all the hard work, continuing success to them.
John & Win.
Positive: Professionalism, Punctuality, Responsiveness
Vision were recommended to us by a friend who also used them. Tim and the team have been great with our double extension and were always on hand to sort out any issues. The build was but up on time and the finishing touches have really made all the difference. The quality of the timber and cladding is amazing. Luke was onsite pretty much every day project managing, or just a phone call away.
