Timber Frame Design
At Vision Development, timber frame design and engineering are included within our tailored timber frame packages. We work with a number of experienced architects and designers, giving clients the flexibility to develop a bespoke solution that suits their project, budget and build requirements.
Our team can support self-builders, developers, builders and architects from early concept through to detailed timber frame design, structural engineering, manufacture and installation. Whether you are planning a single bespoke dwelling, a development of multiple homes, an extension or a commercial project, we provide a practical, technically focused service built around the needs of your build.
We can also offer near Passive House timber frame solutions and weathered shell packages, including options for groundworks, windows and roof structures.
Manufacturing Facility
Our bespoke timber frame packages are manufactured in a controlled factory environment using PEFC-certified timber from responsibly managed sources. All structural timber is CE marked, and our processes are supported by ISO 9001 certification for quality management.
We have our own dedicated timber frame panel manufacturing facility in Beenham, near Reading in Berkshire, where we carry out the majority of our manufacturing work. As well as manufacturing timber frame panels, we also have a joist press to manufacture posi-web joists.
Installation
Our installation teams are professional, courteous and highly experienced in the erection of timber frame systems. Having worked on a wide range of residential and commercial projects, they are fully familiar with Vision Development’s timber frame systems, construction methods and quality standards.
All installation work is carried out in accordance with current Health & Safety requirements and follows the latest Structural Timber Association (STA) guidance and best practices. Our teams take pride in maintaining organised, safe and efficient sites throughout the build process, ensuring projects are completed to a high standard with minimal disruption.
By combining quality manufacturing with experienced on-site installation, we help clients achieve a faster, more efficient build programme while maintaining high standards of workmanship, structural performance and energy efficiency throughout the project.
Sustainability
Vision Development is committed to sustainable construction and the responsible use of timber. We welcome higher efficiency performance targets for new domestic and commercial property as part of the move towards lower-carbon building. Our homes are designed to be energy-efficient, economical to run and low maintenance.
Timber frame construction fits well with the low-carbon agenda. When used as the core fabric of construction, it can deliver high levels of thermal efficiency, low U-values and excellent airtightness. We can also provide near Passive House timber frame packages for projects seeking enhanced energy performance.
We are proud members of Timber Development UK, the organisation formed from the merger of TRADA and the Timber Trade Federation. Timber Development UK is now the UK’s leading supply chain body for the timber industry.
Working with our specialist partners, Vision Development can also offer additional services including environmental reports, SAP calculations, DER/TER calculations and air testing.
