Question 5

Steel vs Timber - what's the advantage of steel over timber?

Accepted Answer

We use quality BLUESCOPE steel frames in our kits for a number of reasons. It's borer and termite proof, it’s lightweight, extremely strong, and it won’t shrink, twist or warp like a conventional timber frame. Steel frames allow you to have more design freedom and choice with your build, as they allow us to produce designs that would otherwise be impossible with other materials, such as timber.

Question 11

When do I have to start paying money?

Accepted Answer

We take a slightly different approach, and rather than taking money up front, we prefer to run you through an aligning process first to see if your project is going to work on paper. Here we create a concept plan and give you insight to costs.  When all is in alignment with design and budget, moving forward to initiate professionally drafted plans will incur a drafting fee.
