Scott is our Timber Engineering Manger. He joined Carpenter Oak & Woodland in 2004 primarily because of his love of working with wood, and having managed both our framing yards, he took up the challenge of developing our rapidly growing Timber Engineering business in 2006. Scott, (being much older than he actualy looks!) has many years experience in the construction industry as a Quantity Surveyor and Contracts Manager, and brings us a great depth of knowledge from having managed a number of different construction businesses.

The publicity that our traditional framing gets (on TV and in numerous self build and lifestyle magazines) tends to overwhelm our timber engineering projects. Although we do many more traditional frames the engineered timber projects are often very high profile and of significantly greater value, but they don’t make such great TV and publicity tends to be confined to the trade publications.
Despite this I am regularly asked by engineers and architects we work in partnership with to explain when and why we use engineered timbers instead of the green natural timber we use so extensively in traditional framing.
In response I’ve put together a quick fact sheet (pdf 1.14mb) on glulam. I hope it’s helpful and if you have any other questions about the use of engineered timbers you can contact me on 01225 743089 or drop me an email.
The staggering size of some glue laminated beams!
