Project Overview

Darryl approached us with plans for his new home and garage, looking for a contractor he could trust to manage the entire build from start to finish.

The project involved constructing a timber frame home, finished with locally sourced larch that we milled ourselves, alongside a plastic-coated box-profile metal roof.

As Darryl was living overseas throughout the project, he was unable to visit the site during construction. Following extensive research and discussions with previous clients, he entrusted us with the complete build, giving us responsibility for managing every stage of the project in his absence.

One of Darryl's key preferences was the natural, weathered appearance of larch cladding. However, he was keen to avoid the uneven colouring that can develop due to varying levels of exposure to the elements. Drawing on our experience working with larch, we recommended applying Si100:x wood treatment to achieve a more consistent, silvered finish across the exterior.

The results were exactly what Darryl had hoped for, and he was delighted with the finished home.

The project was completed in just nine months, with Darryl and his family able to move straight in when we handed over the keys.
