It is best to contact us as early as possible, even if it is just for a preliminary chat about what you are thinking of doing. You might find that a friendly chat with our team will give you the right information to carry on with your research. If you are further advanced, here are some useful pointers:
No two projects are the same, so please don’t hesitate to call us and chat to us about yours as early as possible.
Building kit – choose this option when you already have a building contractor in place. In this case, we will pre-construct and hand finish your oak framed garage at our premises. The components will then be numbered, the structure disassembled and shipped to your site as a kit, including the appropriate amount of dowel. Plans, assembly instructions and other details for your garage will be part of the package.
Supply and assemble frame – choose this option when you are planning a large project, or are located within a reasonable distance for our assembly teams to work on your site. You will need your own general building contractor for groundworks, general building and roofing services. Our assembly team will work with your building contractor and erect the oak frame on your site in sync with your project plan. The assembly will include erecting the full oak frame structure up to the roof level, including full oak frame, studwork, cladding, roof structure and fitting of any joinery you have requested.
Complete build – choose this option when you are planning a large project, or are located within a reasonable distance for our assembly teams to work on your site and require a general building contractor. We will assist you with our network of trusted building contractors to take on the build.
Please contact our team to talk about your project. We are more than happy to advise you on which package best suits your needs and budget.
The end price of your building depends on the ratio of oak and softwood you wish to use. The main structural frame of your garage will always be oak, but you can choose how much of this we use and what the other components are made up from.
For example, a thinner oak frame (e. g. 6”/150 mm square posts) in combination with softwood intermediate studwork and a softwood roof will offer a lower cost alternative, perfect for a single storey car port or storage. On the opposite end of the scale, a chunky oak frame (e. g. 8”/200 mm square posts) with a choice of oak intermediate studwork and large oak roof trusses will give you an impressive oak building, suitable for accommodation, entertainment or commercial use.
Our sales advisers will be happy to discuss your requirements and help you pitch your oak framed garage design at the price that suits your budget.
Do I need planning permission for my oak garage or oak outbuilding?
In many cases yes, but not always. Generous exemptions apply in many areas of the country in terms of permitted development, so it is always best to check with your local authority. In many regions, we are delighted to offer planning services. If you are applying for planning yourself, we will be more than happy to advise you throughout the process.
