How our work is featured

Carpenter Oak and Woodland are featured in the Build It magazine issue July 2008 in an article called “Post-and-beam construction” which explains in greater depth the ancient construction method dating back to the 17^th century using green oak timber. It is the only sustainable material available for primary structural frames and green oak has an aesthetic considerably more appealing than its competitors. Post-and-beam construction is not only suitable for traditionalists looking for the “old world” style, but is the perfect solution for today’s ultra modern, open-plan homes.

The article informs you in detail of what post and beam construction is. Why choose it? What it costs and what is its future?

It also highlights an interesting case study of a contemporary oak framed house in West Sussex whose owners hired architect Elspeth Beard and turned to Carpenter Oak and Woodland to create their dream home.
