The Top Peg Process
We blend heritage joinery with modern technology and engineering to create precision-crafted timber structures. Every timber is hand-cut and hand-finished, ensuring structural integrity and artisanal beauty in every project.
Step 1: Consultation & Design
Every project begins with a conversation. We take the time to understand your goals, site, and vision, then translate that into a custom timber frame design.
Step 2: Material Selection
We source timber suited to the demands of your project, selecting for durability, consistency, and long-term performance in real-world conditions.
Step 3: Precision Fabrication
Every connection is shaped and prepared in our shop, where accuracy and consistency are controlled. This approach leads to a smoother installation and a better overall result.
Step 4: On-Site Assembly
The frame is delivered and assembled on site with a clear plan and experienced crew. Each piece comes together efficiently, keeping the build organized and on schedule.
Step 5: Finishing & Handover
Once complete, the structure is carefully reviewed and finished to a high standard. A final walkthrough ensures everything is ready and built as expected.
Common Questions
What is the typical timeline for a timber frame build?
The timeline varies by complexity, but generally, the design and fabrication phase takes 3–4 months, while the on-site raising and assembly happen in just a few days to weeks.
How should I set my budget expectations?
Timber frame construction is a premium investment. We work closely with you during the design phase to align your structural goals with your budget, focusing on high-quality materials and efficient joinery.
How involved am I during the process?
Very! From the initial consultation to the final design approvals, we collaborate with you at every major milestone to ensure the finished timber frame reflects your vision perfectly.
