Think setting out is just marking lines on the ground? Think again…

In this new episode of Project Outlook, Tim is joined by James and Tony to show how measurements are taken from drawings and transferred onto site to ensure the house and garage are positioned correctly.

James demonstrates setting out with a Total Station, while Tony explains the traditional method using profiles and string lines.

A practical look at one of the most important stages of any build.

An oak framed garage has the power to enhance your home, create valuable living space and transform your day-to-day living.

For Jo and Jamie, their Portchester room above garage replaced a dated metal framed agricultural building at their Cotswold home with an elegant versatile space that perfectly balances practicality with timeless design, completed just in time for a very special family celebration.

The three-bay Portchester room above garage provides useful storage and a utility space, comfortable guest accommodation and a stunning focal point in the landscape.

There’s more to demolition than you might think…🔨🏡

In Episode 2 of Project Outlook, Tim guides us through the essential first steps before demolition can begin. From planning conditions and the Section 80 demolition notice, to asbestos surveys, utility disconnections and site safety requirements, there’s far more to consider than meets the eye.

We also explore the reasons homeowners choose to replace an existing property, and how materials are carefully stripped, recycled and given a new purpose within the build process. A thoughtful look at the transition from existing home to a blank canvas.

When Charlie and his wife Helen set out to build again, they weren’t just looking for a house, they wanted a home that truly worked for family life.

Set down a quiet lane in Herefordshire, Cherry Orchard is a contemporary oak framed farmhouse that brings together clean modern design, natural materials and the warmth of traditional oak. Designed with our in-house architectural team, the home was carefully shaped around how the family lives day to day, from the light-filled open plan kitchen at its heart, to the snug for busy family moments and the practical boot room for muddy boots, dogs and daily life.

Upstairs, vaulted oak ceilings bring a sense of calm and space, while every detail has been considered to balance beauty with everyday function. The result is a home that feels effortless to live in warm, bright and deeply connected to its surroundings.
