Timber homes
Full timber and hybrid homes — coastal and inland — built for Cape conditions with NHBRC enrolment where required.
Services
What we build
Four lines of work. Roofing and brick-homes catalogue pages are out of this fee until content and photos are ready — this page covers the mockup scope.
Decking
Pool decks, garden decks and entertainment platforms in durable timber suited to sun and salt air.
Roof construction
New roofs and re-roofs — including exposed timber ceilings that bring light and character into a space.
Loft conversions
Extra living space under the roof. [Photography still needed — no loft image on the current site.]
