Choosing to build an oak framed house is an investment for life. Oak is a luxurious, living and breathing building material, an affordable luxury that adds vitality, and warmth and creates a wonderful ambience. But the aesthetic qualities of oak aren’t the only reason to choose it:
All over the UK, oak framed houses have stood proudly for centuries. Originally built using timber from dismantled ships, these oak framed buildings have not only retained their charm but have also continued to surge in popularity.
The charm of oak framed houses lies in their quintessential British character, and they effortlessly blend into the rich architectural tapestry of the country. The choice to build an oak framed house is a tribute to oak's timeless charm and its inherent harmony with the architectural heritage of the UK.
Oak house kits are pre-constructed in our workshops. Once on site, the assembly process is around 30% quicker than masonry.
The oak frame is wrapped in a weather-tight envelope and the outer walls can be clad in any material such as stone, render, oak cladding or weatherboarding.
Our oak is sourced from PEFC certified sources. English and European oak forests are managed in a sustainable way, where every felled tree is replaced with more than one new one. Renewing the crop in this way is healthier for the environment. Read more about the environmental impact of oak frame construction.

How much does it cost to build an oak framed house?
The cost of build depends on so many factors, so it is almost impossible to give a general answer to this question. Things to consider are: what budget do you think you have for your build, how much time pressure you are under, planning situation, dream design you would like, size of the building you would like, your location, listed status, glazing requirements etc. However, we are able to give you an idea of budgetary costs fairly quickly once we know approximately what it is that you are looking for.
Is an oak framed house Eco friendly?
Building a house using oak frame is one of the most Eco friendly build methods. Our green oak is sourced from European PEFC certified sawmills, which means it is grown sustainably as a crop. Green oak requires less energy for processing than other traditional building materials such as bricks or steel. Oak frames work well with the most advanced insulation materials and can be adapted to suit passive house standards if required, reducing overall energy consumption.
