Timber Frame Reviews & Testimonials

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.

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.

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 done efficiently and we had 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.

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.

Further to a family member successfully having a home built by Vision Development my husband and I made the ambitious decision to build our own home.
After a short process, Vision have again done an excellent job, nothing has been too much trouble and they were always on hand for any queries. Vision kept to the program and budget agreed from the outset, the structure was erected super quick allowing us to press on with the finishing works. We are delighted with the house and really looking forward to our new energy efficient home.
Many thanks again to the Vision team.

We used Vision Development for the construction of six houses and garages. Their conduct was professional from the start and throughout the work which was completed without problem on time and at a very reasonable price

Vision could not have been more helpful from the start. I felt very anxious about taking the ambitious steps to have a new house build for me but I am so glad that I went ahead with my decision and chose Vision. The family run business made sure the project was carried out in the time frame given and because I had a fixed quote at the outset I had no nasty shocks to the budget. The experience was truly enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone.

My wife and I decided rather than move from our long term home we would improve the available space. We are so pleased we chose a Vision timber frame for our extension,not only was it a super quick build but the Company was a pleasure to do business with.

The communications were excellent and the site installers a great team.

We were soon enjoying our new found space and would recommend Vision to anyone.

Vision Development couldn't have been more helpful. The process was smooth and timely from start to finish, changes from the architects designs were accommodated, and the outbuilding they have made for us - incorporating several steels - is of excellent quality. I would thoroughly recommend then to anyone wanting to be assured of the best product and service.

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 Extensions
My 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, organisation
and above all attention we received. The finished product looks absolutely superb and we couldn’t be more delighted.
Thanks to all at Vision

Well after a few hiccups (nothing to do with the actual timber frame)the work is now complete. All I can say is that we have transformed an unused side return on our terraced house into a large kitchen and wetroom that is far more useful than an outside dead end. I chose timber framed for its speed and was so glad I used Vision. Our house now has the wow factor and where we had small dark rooms we now have a large open space. As I said previously the speed with which the build went up was brilliant and as soon as they knocked through we could see what space we had. Thank you Tim Lucy and the team you have given us the house we always wanted. If any one wants to see it of themselves we are happy to show them.

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.

Timber frame panels and rafters for large double storey extension to 3 sides of our 1960's house in Oxfordshire completed without our family moving out! Lots of awkward angles and walls that weren't square to contend with so a number of the panels manufactured on site! Impressive 'can do' attitude - can't recommend them too highly! Would definitely use this company again.

Having a tricky narrow access to my site it was important I chose the right timber frame provider who 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 go smoothly and to my satisfaction which it has. The project ran to the speedy schedule provided at the
outset 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 now
complete and thank ‘Vision’ for making the process effortless

Right from the first phone call vision made us feel completely
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!!!!!!!

After holdups caused by the snow the great day arrived last Thursday. We had a visit from Tim the day before to ensure everything was in place and very early on Thursday along came David. Within hours the bomb site turned into the shell of a long awaited wet room. he worked all through and by the time he left we could at last see how this was going to look. The quality of workmanship was excellent and two of them worked through to get the bulk of the frame finished. We have some way to go but I cannot fault the quality and workmanship. Thank you Vision for restoring my faith in craftsmanship.

This 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.
