Work With Us
Consultation & Preliminary Quote
We encourage new clients to give us a call and arrange a visit to our shop. If you have a set of prepared drawings, sketches, magazine clippings or photo, bring those along with you. Generally an hour long visit and discussion will leave us with the information we need to prepare a Preliminary quote. Budgets are of real importance and from this stage we will be able to explore the possibilities in design / preferred wood species along with an introduction to Joinery options within the Timberframe.
