Here are some of the 5* reviews we have received from our self-build clients :
I have no hesitation in recommending Vision Development for any timber frame requirements. From first contact through to project sign off they were friendly, helpful, responsive and very professional at all times. Their workmanship was excellent and they were flexible & accommodating with the inevitable challenges we faced along the way! It was a pleasure to work with the team at Vision and we would certainly do so again.
Delighted that I picked the right company for my timber frame . I surveyed several companies and visited several ‘ in progress sites’ . The product that Vision offered was of high quality and fantastic value compared with their competitors. After selecting Vision they worked well with my Architect and Structual engineer and all issues were resolved speedily. The erection process went well and the team were very helpful and nothing was to much trouble for them . As with all building projects there were problems along the way but all were resolved with no fuss . I would certainly recommend Vision for value and quality.
Further to a family member successfully having a home built by Vision Development my husband and I made the ambitious decision to build our own home.
After a short process, Vision have again done an excellent job, nothing has been too much trouble and they were always on hand for any queries. Vision kept to the program and budget agreed from the outset, the structure was erected super quick allowing us to press on with the finishing works. We are delighted with the house and really looking forward to our new energy efficient home.
Many thanks again to the Vision team.
With many factors to consider when planning and eventually constructing your self-build timber frame home, there can be mis-leading information online that may steer you in the wrong direction with regards to costs. Different parts of the country have differing levels of material & labour costs, the South of the UK you will find more expensive than Northern parts of the country. There are also lots of DIY homes which can be achievable, but be certain you can take on the amount of time and skill it does require to complete a new build construction project.
Vision can offer a range of services to self-builders, our weathered shell package, offering groundworks, timber frame, windows & doors and roof tiling is a popular choice for self-builders as it provides a weatherproof structure for you to continue internal works at a more leisurely pace.
