Oak Frames

Atmospheric night time shots of a pair of Oak Frame cottages going up in Bedfordshire.

Internal shot showing the DPM which is between the Oak Frame and the external SIPs cladding.

And a close up of the detail - the batten between the Oak Frame and the SIPs cladding gives room for the internal plasterboard.

Completed Projects

Another completed project today; this large house is in the Scottish Borders.

Nearing Completion

The project in this post is now nearing completion.  We were sent through these images yesterday, and think that the building looks fantastic.

Oak Frame

We completed the cladding for this Oak Frame in Torquay last Friday.  The Oak Frame was provided by Carpenter Oak.

We've been sent through some photos of this project up in Aberdeenshire.  The externals are nearly completed and the house looks great!

Modular Buildings

SIPs Industries provided the panels for this modular toilet block for the Forestry Commission Scotland.  The toilets needed to be highly insulated so that they could be open year round without freezing in Winter, and to touch the earth lightly.  By using a modular method of construction the clients were able to ensure that there was minimal wear and tear on the site.

On-Going Projects

A new build in Montrose going up in the drizzle last week.

Modular Buildings

This building was constructed in modules, each of which was assembled in a factory setting before being transported to site.  Each module was then craned into place to create a two storey building. 

Completed Projects

The SIPs Industries project in Perthshire was completed in 2008.
