Deeside Timberframe: Framing Your Future

The first stage of any successful venture is creating a well thought-through plan. Visualise your dream home, what does it look like, how does it feel, how many rooms does it have, what purpose do these rooms serve? Once you have a clear idea of these, sort out which are wants, which are needs, and which are desires.

Creating your financial plan involves evaluating your assets, understanding your borrowing capacity, and familiarising yourself with the specifics of self-build mortgages. Ensure you have both liquid assets and potential borrowings to fund your project.

Selecting an ideal plot involves considering location, cost, size, and planning permissions. Find potential plots, have them surveyed and valued, secure planning permissions, and base the size of the plot on your chosen Deeside Timberframe design.

One of the most critical parts of the whole development for self-build is to work out how much it is going to cost. This depends on the size, design and how involved in the process you are. Will you be project managing and/or doing the building work yourself or hiring in professionals do to it?

To realise your self-build vision, hiring professionals like architects or timber frame companies is recommended. From selecting a designer, creating a design, to preparing detailed drawings, you could opt for individual architects, house designers, or buy a pre-drawn or bespoke timber frame kit from us.

The best place to start is by getting a referral from family or friends or local person who has recently used a builder. Most reputable companies can supply you with case studies or contacts details of former clients who would be happy to talk to you. Have a look at our case studies and testimonials here.

Compliance with Building Standards is mandatory for construction projects, ensuring health, safety, energy conservation, and accessibility. It’s your responsibility to adhere to regional Building Acts which outline these legal regulations and promote sustainable development.
