Graven Hill, based in Bicester, Oxfordshire offers the rare opportunity for people wanting to not only self-build but have actual input in the design.With my son, I made the decision to build my own home to my specific design that would meet with my personal lifestyle and taste.It has been an enjoyable journey which I am happy to say that Vision Development South Ltd., helped us through. The timber frame structure fabricated is of superb standard and quality checked throughout manufacture. We are delighted with the service, help andadvice along the way and the fantastic end result. Very satisfying.

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.

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.

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 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 performanceVision 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 !David HitchcoxProject ManagerColn Park Lakes Construction LLP, at the Lakes by Yoo

They are a very professional companyWe would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them to others

Transforming bungalow to contemporary two storey home.It was quite a daunting task selecting who would carry out the works on our bungalow. However after much deliberation my husband and I chose Vision Development.We felt confident to commit our funds with Vision and that we were spending wisely.Now the works are complete we are more than happy to give an excellent review. They have assisted us in the conversion of our one storey bungalow into a spacious two storey home.We are thrilled with the end results it has transformed our home and filled every expectation. Even the building inspector commented on the quality of the timber!Vision have been extremely supportive, even after their part of the works were complete.Special thank you to Luke and the team at Vision.

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 contractsmanager 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.

My husband and I had a masterplan to convert a bungalow into a house with a new roomy first storey.We needed space for our new family and this was the best route for us to take. The next step was selecting the right timber frame company to carry out the project which was an anxious moment for us but we quickly realised after visiting the offices and factory of ‘Vision’ that we had made the right decision. The quotation was a ‘Fixed’ quote and not left open to wandering figures which was vital for us.Vision is a family run business which gave us the confidence to know we were in the right hands. The office was always on hand and even after completion I can still call for advice.We have recommended ‘Vision’ to a number of people and would have no hesitation in contracting ‘Vision’ in the future.

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 errected 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.

Vision Development has recently successfully carried out a project to build my contemporary new home.The works were completed on time and on budget which is essential for any developer. It can be a very worryingtime committing to a big expenditure as a timber-frame, but I quickly realised I had chosen well with Vision.Vision have been supportive for the duration of the construction, and I have felt reassured with their help and advice. Vision went above and beyond helping and advising me in areas I was unsure of and even helped me once their part of the build was completed.The team were professional and always approachable, working to a very high standard to deliver a quality product.We are delighted with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.
Vision have enabled us to build a beautiful home from our humble bungalow.From the outset they were friendly, professional and efficient. They took our architects drawings and produced a comprehensive quote which was very reasonably priced.Once we started the project they developed an effective design that we were able to collaboratively work with the team to refine.Even when our lack of understanding meant ambiguity in the deliverables, they helped us understand the process and always to time to talk us through things when needed.The installation team were really friendly and a pleasure to have on site, in stark contrast to some of the contractors we’ve used.They delivered us an amazing solution to time and budget, despite all the challenges that COVID through at them and the industry.They offer the friendliness and care of a small company whilst providing a level of service that you just can’t get from much larger suppliers.I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

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.

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.

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

Having moved into my new bungalow in 2020 it was decided that a new extension would be a great addition and timber framewas 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 qualityand arrived on site on the agreed date. The structure was assembled quickly and easily ready for the exterior render boardingto be installed. I am delighted with the end product and would endorse Vision to anyone thinking of building a new home or extension.

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

Vision supplied and fitted 6 x timber frame houses for our latest development in Basingstoke. From start to finish they offered an exceptional service. The frames were erected on time and budget and importantly to a high standard. There was always someone at the end of the phone too. On top of that all the administration was does efficiently we no need to chase for compliance documentation. I would highly recommend them.

I would highly recommend Tim and team, they have gone out of their way to help throughout the process, from initial contact, design, production, delivery and guidance through the build itself. The actual product is of very high quality with clear design and instructions on how to erect. As a builder myself this is one of the quickest and most efficient builds I have ever done. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Vision to anyone and give them 10 out of 10 for service and product.

Right from the outset the team at Vision worked closely with me, my architect and the builders to ensure that everything for my large home extension went smoothly. I was always kept informed of progress during offsite construction of the frame and delivery was bang on schedule. Importantly, the frame was made with pin point accuracy which clearly delighted the builder! Thanks to Jane, Luke and the team for a first class service.
Single Storey & 1st floor ExtensionsMy wife and I decided to completely transform our single storey house into a large contemporary two storey home.Clearly this was an ambitious plan and we had to feel confident of any Company we decided to go forward with.Vision came recommended and I am glad they were as we could not have wished for better quality, organisationand above all attention we received. The finished product looks absolutely superb and we couldn’t be more delighted.Thanks to all at Vision

Everyone at Vision have been fantastic from the very beginning to the end. A few changes from us were dealt with speedily and effectively (sorry about those!). It was great that different members of the team popped in to check on development and make sure we were happy and everything came in at exactly the price agreed, no niggles or unexpected bills. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone. It is rare but these guys turn up when they say and do what they say well within the timings initially put forward.

Right from the first phone call vision made us feel at ease with the build. It’s quite a stressful time building your own home with lots of bumps in the road but Tim and his team are brilliant.Nothing seemed to much trouble. The guys on site were neat tidy and polite and always had answers to our questions. We have already recommended vision to friends who are thinking of building their own home.Like I said Brilliant!!!!!!!

Having a tricky narrow access to my site it was important I chose the right timber frame providerwho could negotiate any difficulties that may have arisen from the site’s tight location.After speaking with Tim and the staff at Vision I was quickly reassured that my project would gosmoothly and to my satisfaction which it has. The project ran to the speedy schedule provided at theoutset and therefore my project programme stayed on track.‘Vision’ manufactured my timber frame to my design and specification in their own workshops in Reading,I was welcome to go and visit anytime to see the progress. I am delighted that the timber frame is nowcomplete and thank ‘Vision’ for making the process effortless.

New Build HouseNew Build Home in Chandlers FordThis was our 6th new build and we were initially sceptical about using timber frame however we were so glad we did ! Vision are a very professional, friendly, family run business and a delight to deal with. Initially Tim guided us through the whole process, he is very practical, easy to talk to and is full of enthusiasm. He was always on hand to provide advice and is very knowledgable about all new building products. The Team were also very professional and helpful particularly Lucy in the office and Dawid on site. The build started on time, ran smoothly and continuously and completed on schedule. That is not something that happens every day in the building industry ! Well done Vision.Thank you Mark & Chris Dewey.

I was so pleased to have found Vision Developments. From the outset speaking with Tim I knew I wanted to use them. His can do attitude, experience and contacts was great. He and his team Jane, Lucy and Rafal were always very helpful and willing to put themselves out even after the build. The build itself was dealt with very professionally by Roy and Christian. The plot was very tight but again the can do attitude that seems to run through the company got it done. Really pleased with the house. I will definitely use Vision on the next project

Tim and his team were most helpful from our first visit to them, when the idea first arose to build house for our daughter and son in law in our garden.At every step of the way Vision Development's organisation and schedule were exactly on time. It is not an easy site to access, but no fuss was made,and the frame was up and finished within two weeks. Tim was always on hand to answer any queries or problems from the council with great patienceand information. We are thrilled with the house, and we would highly recommend Tim and his team for any project.

Really happy with our new cabin. Communication with Tim and his staff was great from the off, which reassured us we were making the right choice. Once the structure arrived on site it flew up and the standard of finish is great. Other builders and the building inspector from the council have commented favourably on the quality of the materials used and the quality of the construction itself. We made a couple of changes 'on-the-fly' which were accomodated by the contractors on site (although I'm sure they won't thank me for suggesting that they enjoy awkward customers).We are really happy with the building itself, but the best bit is that when people ask how much it cost and we tell them, they are stunned by how affordable it is.

If you only have time to read the headlines of a review about Vision, this introduction will tell you all you need to know.Firstly, you are dealing with a family owned and run business that has been around for decades. Why does family run matter? Well if you are thinking of working with or buying from Vision it means they care. Each member of the family team have important roles that they each take great pride in, because what they do matters. As a unit they are trustworthy, responsive and a real pleasure to deal with. It is a great shame that such good businesses are so rare to find in this day and age and for that reason alone, I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.Our Experience:Vision built us a bespoke eco house in South Oxfordshire. Pre-sale, they completely understood our requirements and quickly agreed the design of our new home. The attention to detail for design and procurement of materials was outstanding. The very best materials were sourced internationally to complete the build of our A+ energy rated home.The speed and completion of the work was exactly to time; in fact Vision showed us such faith and trust as the sale of our family home fell through and they professionally and patiently handled all of the delays that this caused us.The finished product is of the highest standard – It really has a wow factor and we just can’t wait to go home every day to our new home. Not only is the home beautiful, the functionality and energy efficiency is amazing. It uses the very latest MHVR technology to ventilate and heat the property. Just a single hour of underfloor heating in the morning will keep the entire property heated to about 22 degrees for the entire day. We are producing more electricity than we use so our energy bills are nominal.Vision’s aftercare has been amazing –anything that we have asked has been promptly answered and any teething problems have been handled excellently. No problem is ever too big or small for them to handle, you are never made to feel anything other than welcome when you call. We would have no doubts in recommending them – if this wasn’t our forever home, we’d buy another one!
Vision did a superb job for us and Yarrells school. We designed a timber frame building with with an unusual butterfly roof. Vision worked very hard to deliver the scheme we designed. The were reasonably priced and extremely quick on site. The timber frame flew up and the result was excellent. The school are very happy with the building. It has also performed thermally as well.

From the outset it was clear that we had made the right choice in using Tim and his team at Vision. Tim's vision, values and high standards run through the whole company whether they be in the office, the workshop or on site.Vision have restored our faith in the building trade. It really has been a joy and a pleasure for them to be involved in our project and we are sorry that their part in our project is at an end. The coffee machine is always on and you are all, always welcome in our home.Catherine and Richard Redding

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.

I would like to thank all the staff at Vision they have just completed a large extension onto an existing timber frame building for me.Most companies i contacted were not prepared to take this project on but Vision were more than happy to tackle it.The job was not without its challenges and Vision were very obliging when things didn't quite work out as planned.I would be more than happy to recommend them.

I appear to be the exception in these reviews. Bottom line being that I wish we had never contracted with Vision. Much of their work was as expected, but we have had problems, some of which have been resolved, some not. But the nub of the issue is being treated as though we are stupid and know nothing. There has on a number of occasions been an arrogance in the correspondence between us, both in writing and on the phone. And when there is no route out of accepting a problem is a genuine problem, then they stop speaking to us and hide away. It is correct to say we are not builders, but we have professionals around us so we are not unaware or uneducated. Our next project will not be going the way of Vision.

Highly Recommend Vision

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 are the perfect partner for developers

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.

 by Caroline Wood

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.

Definitely would recommend Vision

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

Very professional company

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

I can't recommend Vision Development highly enough!

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 !

On time and within budget!

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.

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

Vision helped turn our architect’s design for a three bedroom annex into a reality

Finished Timber Frame Barn with Lights OnVision 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.

Friendly, helpful & responsive

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.

Wholeheartedly endorse Vsion

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!

Vision stuck out from the rest

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.

Promp and attentive attitude from Vision

Timber Frame Bungalow to House ConversionMost 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.

Vision have been a true pleasure and professional company to work with

Timber Frame Bungalow to House ConversionFrom 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.

5 stars for Vision

Prefabricated Timber Frame Extension in Oxfordshire
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.

Vision operated with absolute professionalism and fairness throughout the project

New Build Modular Timber Frame Home in CavershamWe 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 were very professional & extremely helpful

Timber frame conversion of bungalow into family homeVision 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

High Spec & great insulation!

Timber Frame Home Garden CabinIt 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.

Self build at Graven Hill

Prefab Timber Frame Home in Graven HillWe 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 Developments

Timber Frame Penthouse in BuckinghamshireMetrix 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.

New extension

Modern Prefab Timber Frame Extension in AltonHaving 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.

Kept to time schedule and budget

Two New Timber Frame Homes for Essex Developer
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.

Delighted I picked Vision for my timber frame project

Closed Panel Timber Frame Home in DorsetDelighted 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

Tim and the Vision team have been very helpful with contacts, advice and tips.

Modular Timber Frame House in Calcot
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.

Solid Oak Garden Room

Oak Framed Garden Room Extension
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.
