Heritage Designs

Heritage Designs is a partnership run by Dave Scott and Chris Bradley. The business is a diversification from our traditional style of building and represents our idea of the future of the building industry. We have both spent our whole working lives in the building trade and are capable of supplying technical advice and guidance on all stages of y... our build, from planning to finishing works. The prefabrication of timber frame structures began about fifty years ago. It became apparent that a higher standard of construction could be achieved in the controlled environment of the factory than on the open building site. By doing so much of the work under cover, it reduced the time the new home was exposed to the weather and so also reduced the building costs. Every year over 2 Million timber frame homes are built world wide - it is the most popular method of building low rise homes in the world. In Europe, North America and Australia timber frame homes are very much in the majority. The shell of a Heritage Designs timber framed structure can normally be erected and weatherproofed within a few days of delivery to your site. This allows a much earlier start on installing plumbing, electric's and other services. At the same time the bricklaying can be going on outside. The end result is that the entire project can be completed in far less time than when using brick and block "wet" system of building. We can supply an infinite range of styles and sizes of homes to suit your needs, and your budget, and you can be confident that we incorporate all the latest research and technology in our construction, resulting in a high quality structure. From the initial meeting through to sketch drawings, and our own in - house architectural service, we ensure that the problems, which could incur on site, are minimised, and our proven after sales service means we are on hand to help with any difficulties that may occur. Your home will probably cost about £32-£40 per square foot to build, in addition to the land. Some of the cost can ...Read More
