All you need at this stage is a few sketches or photographs of what you have seen or like. Just talk to us about your initial ideas; ask us any questions you may have. We will work with you to ensure you are pleased with the initial oak swimming pool house design concepts. We can then manage your planning application for you.
- You already have a design or planning permission – we will give you an initial idea of cost based on your existing concepts. If this works for you, we will then create a full set of oak frame drawings for production and engineering purposes and adjust the quote should this be required. We can then begin the manufacture of your oak framed swimming pool building.
- Your architect needs specialist oak frame design – in this case we will act as a specialist oak frame design consultant and work with your architect to help engineer the most suitable oak frame solution for your oak swimming pool building.
