We received a very professional build experience from Vision Development South from start to finish.They provided information and solutions every step of the way and our house looks amazing.They have a great support team covering everything, thank you:)Would absolutely recommend.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Shelley, we're so happy you had an enjoyable experience with us here at Vision and your new house is looking AMAZING! Keep in touch :-)
We have recently worked with Vision to help us achieve a new wooden framed building on our Community Grow Space site in Weymouth. They have been brilliant from the start making the process of design and construction smooth and efficient. They have also been flexible when adaptions to the design were needed and were always happy to jump on a Teams/phone call as required to help solve the issue and come up with solutions. If you require a timber framed building then I would definitely recommend contacting Vision to see what they can do and provide you with a quote.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much for the fantastic 5-star review! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re pleased with our work and truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure bringing your project to life, and we're grateful for the opportunity to have worked with you. If you ever need anything in the future, don’t hesitate to reach out. Thanks again!
Outstanding Service and Exceptional Workmanship - Highly RecommendedWe recently completed our self-build home, and from the moment we decided to place the order for our timber frame, Luke and the entire team at Vision Development have been nothing short of exceptional. Their support throughout the entire process—from supply to fitting—was flawless. The team’s expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering work of the highest standard gave us complete peace of mind during the build.Vision Development made what could have been a stressful experience smooth and efficient, and I cannot recommend them enough for anyone looking for a reliable and professional company. Their dedication and quality of work are truly unmatched. Without hesitation, we will be using Vision Development again for all of our future property development projects.Thank you once again, Luke and team, for making our dream home a reality!
Response from the owner: Thank you both for your wonderful review! We are truly grateful and have thoroughly enjoyed working with you on your new home build project. We can’t wait to see the finished product! We hope to work with you again in the future.
I am a professional construction manager and consultant, Vision Development South took the time to ensure we got what we ordered and some free extras. Also Luke the contracts manager was there every step of the way with advice regarding all aspects of the work including many thing not in his contract. It was a refreshing change to deal with an honest efficient company. Well done to all the team at Vision I will be adding your contact details to my list of preferred contractors.
Response from the owner: Thank you Shaun, really means a lot to us as we do our best to please! Look forward to working with you again in the future!
At first reading the terms seemed intimidating but the (Angel investor) was super patient and nice with me being a newbie and now i can recommend him to anyone looking for an online angel investor to invest with after I've successfully made a withdrawal of £7500 through crypto investment all within seven days trading.

I chose Vision Development to extend and transform my single storey bungalow into a house - adding on a first floor of 4 bedrooms, bathroom, ensuite, plus a second floor loft room with ensuite and eaves storage.What appealed to me was the speed and quality control of offsite construction for all the panels, along with the insulation system they use. The panels were simply craned into place. Within a 6 week period, the building was transformed from a few ground floor walls, into a three storey house. The floor boards are all glued down rather than screwed/nailed, and a year later, even after being exposed to the elements during the build don't squeak at all. The joists are all posi metal web, making running plumbing/cabling/ventilation tubes a breeze. The foil-based insulation system ensures the air-tightness needed to achieve modern energy standards and allowed me to install an MVHR system (removing the need for those horrible window vents).I managed the build programme, working with multiple companies on their piece of the overall effort. Vision Development were, by far, the least stressful part of my build. A shout out to Luke and the team for answering all my questions and back-and-forth comms - even those not related to their piece of the build! Nothing was too much trouble and importantly they know their stuff to the right level of detail. They aim is to make the whole project a success, not just their piece.I now have a very energy efficient and air tight house, a far better method than standard brick/blockwork cavity. If I could go back in time, I would have flattened all the ground floor walls, done full timber frame/steel internal structure with Vision, and then brick/blockwork fascia walls to wrap it all.Wouldn't hesitate to use them for the next project.
Response from the owner: Thank you Gary, we want to express our sincere gratitude for your positive and informative feedback. Your kind words mean a lot to us, and we are truly thrilled that you are pleased with the service Vision provided. It's incredibly rewarding to hear that our efforts have made a positive impact. Thank you again for your valuable feedback and we look forward to seeing your new home come together!
Great experience with Vision despite the complicated + awkward shape of our project. Would absolutely work with Vision again in the future.
Response from the owner: It has been a pleasure working with you on this project, Noah. We look forward to collaborating with you again in the future.
We could not be happier with the service that the whole team at Vision Development have provided us with right from the initial design through to construction. Everyone in the team that we have had contact with have been absolutely amazing. This was our first build and we had a lot of initial questions and needed a fair bit of guidance - Vision provided answers without hesitation, and continue to do so. We could not have got through it without them and would 100% use them again and recommend them to anyone.
Response from the owner: Thank you Leah 😊 We're more than happy to help and it's been lovely to work with you and Dan. We all can't wait to see the finished build and for you and your family to be settled in your new home 🏠❤️
I have dealt with Vision Development for a number of years as a supplier of materials but no longer work under that banner. I now own and run a building and house refurbishment business. My client required some extensive remodeling of their current home which included the removal of an original dormer window construction and to recreate but in a much bigger format giving them a 50% increase in floor space for the first floor. I touched base with Tim & Jane and the ball was rolling. They introduced me to their construction manager Luke who has been absolutely stunning in his service. They also had an experienced roofing contractor run by Taylor who has been taking care of the construction elements on site with myself project managing. The whole process has been smooth, speedy and above all professional. We are near the end of the actual construction phase and my clients are overwhelmed with what we have achieved for them so far. I am now gearing up for the internal works which will commence within the next few days.I can’t wait to work with these guys again as it’s such a painless process and also at a very competitive price.Thanks to all involved it’s been a breeze.Cheers Chris
Response from the owner: Hi Chris, thanks so much we're over the moon you chose Vision to assist with your project. Can't wait to see how you bring it all together, it's going to look spectacular! Always a pleasure to welcome you here at the offices and hope to work with you again soon :-)
Vision Development and the team supplied and fitted a ground floor extension and garden room for us, we were very pleased with the whole procedure from start to finish, excellent quality and outstanding workmanship, would definitely reccomend
Response from the owner: Thank you Steve for your complimentary review, much appreciated.
Graven Hill, based in Bicester, Oxfordshire offers the rare opportunity for people wanting to not only self-build but have actual input in the design.With my son, I made the decision to build my own home to my specific design that would meet with my personal lifestyle and taste.It has been an enjoyable journey which I am happy to say that Vision Development South Ltd., helped us through. The timber frame structure fabricated is of superb standard and quality checked throughout manufacture. We are delighted with the service, help andadvice along the way and the fantastic end result. Very satisfying.
Response from the owner: Many thanks for your kind review of our services for your project. We wish you all the best in your new home!

Response from the owner: Thank you Kate, we have thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your team and very much look forward to continuing our working relationship on future projects.
Vision Development South built a timber-frame cottage and ancillary building for us. The work was overseen by Luke and we couldn't have been happier with the quality of the work, service and timing. We would highly recommend anyone planning to build a timber-frame building to get in touch with them.
Response from the owner: Thank you Amanda for your positive review of Vision's services for your project. We're glad you are happy with the quality of the work and wish you the best with the remainder of your build.
We approached a number of building companies with our proposal for the conversion of a steel framed barn and received varying responses. It is fair to say that Vision were the most enthusiastic and embraced the concept right from our first approach. Tim and his team supported and helped us in transforming our initial thoughts and plans into practical proposals. Like all complex projects there were issues that needed to be resolved, our barn conversion was not as straightforward as a new build house as we had to fit the timber frame structure around the steel barn frame. Working with us Vision found solutions for the technical difficulties and we ended up with a house that is exactly as we initially envisioned. Both in the office and on site Vision were easy to speak with and friendly, they kept us fully informed of what they were doing, delivering everything that they promised at the price quoted, despite the chaotic building material prices through 2022. If we were to take on another project we would definitely use Vision again.
Response from the owner: Thank you Gary for your positive review of Vision. We're very pleased you have the house you'd hoped for, it really is very impressive! Hope to hear from you again in the future. All the best from the team at Vision.
Vision Development is the perfect partner for Maverick Properties Ltd. We have used Vision on a number of occasions for a wide range of projects across the UK. in which they have shown their ability to meet critical timelines and follow budget forecasts accurately throughout challenging supply chain times, whilst maintaining the high H&S and workmanship standards on site.Many of the projects we have undertaken together have involved teams working together and thinking outside the box and implementing solutions for any challenges arising.Regardless of how complicated the task, Luke and the team at Vision work alongside us to solve problems and meet our needs, rather than finding the easiest and quickest fix that may have negative long-term impact.Vision have proven their wealth of construction and timber frame expertise with an proficient in-house team and associated experts in fields including designers and engineers. We would have no reservations in recommending Vision for any structural timber frame projects.
Response from the owner: Many thanks Brad. Vision appreciate the work you've awarded us and look forward to collaborating with you on future projects.
I have had regular contact with Vision and have found them really friendly and helpful people who try hard to compile with any promises they undertake, and particularly sharp on eco friendly issues. A company to be trusted a rarity these days.e
Response from the owner: Many thanks Clive for your supportive review of Vision, it is greatly appreciated.
A very friendly, professional family run business who also care for the environment and are passionate about recycling. Thank you Vision Development South
Response from the owner: Thank you Karen, your review means a lot to us.
Great to deal with, very efficient and timely. They did everything they said they would do and for a very good price. I would definitely recommend Vision to anyone looking to build an extension or complete home
Response from the owner: Many thanks Ben for your positive review. It's been a pleasure working with you and wish you the best with the remainder of the project.
We have been working with Vision Development South for the past 3 years at our Lakes development in the Cotswolds - The lakes By Yoo . They have so far supplied and erected timber framed buildings for eighteen apartments in three blocks and eight, two bed lakeside cabins on our site. The team at Vision have been an absolute pleasure to work with, every step of the way .From the early design phase of all our buildings we've worked closely with Vision" in truly two way discussions . We were able to explore all the pros and cons of different timber frame wall build ups / achievable u values / open vs closed panel designs etc etc and all the effects these decisions will have on the whole build including , cost, erecting logistics , build speed etc through to finished building performanceVision have been with us from day one on every decision, not only in relation to the timber frame but across the whole build, they've always been happy to share their experience and wisdom and are always quick to say: " no its cheaper/quicker for you to supply and fit this or that element onsite yourselves" etc.Another of the many good points for us about working with Vision Development is that they can scale up to deliver as many buildings as needed but also the "family run" attitude and way of working makes them able to build smaller bespoke timber frame designs to our exact needs.All our buildings were delivered and erected exactly to the pre- agreed programme. The cost is always very competitive and build quality is always very high.In short, for their experience and professionalism, for their total commitment to quality throughout, but mostly for their friendly, honest, can-do work ethic, I can't recommend Vision Development highly enough !David HitchcoxProject ManagerColn Park Lakes Construction LLP, at the Lakes by Yoo
Response from the owner: Thank you David, your review is ever so kind and means a lot to us all here at Vision. It has been a pleasure working with you and everyone involved at The Lakes by Yoo, we hope to work with you again in the future!
We were a main contractor on a one off newbuild residential project near Winchester, Hants. We employed Vision Development to carry out the design, supply and fit elements of the timber frame, timber joists and roofs.From start to finish the experience with Vision was excellent, good design work, workmanship, service and on programme. They are a very professional companyWe would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them to others
Response from the owner: Thank you Antony for your kind review of our services. We have enjoyed working with you and look forward to working with you again in the future.
Transforming bungalow to contemporary two storey home.It was quite a daunting task selecting who would carry out the works on our bungalow. However after much deliberation my husband and I chose Vision Development.We felt confident to commit our funds with Vision and that we were spending wisely.Now the works are complete we are more than happy to give an excellent review. They have assisted us in the conversion of our one storey bungalow into a spacious two storey home.We are thrilled with the end results it has transformed our home and filled every expectation. Even the building inspector commented on the quality of the timber!Vision have been extremely supportive, even after their part of the works were complete.Special thank you to Luke and the team at Vision.
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind words Julia, it really means a lot to us. We hope you both enjoy your new living space!
We decided to take on a large renovation project and extend our home upwards and outwards. Our house had a flat roof and needed a new timber roof from scratch and a timber frame single storey extension.We had to find a timber frame manufacturer. Our Architect supported us to find Vision.This seemed a little daunting at first until we spoke to Vision Development and read the many positive reviews. Also considering the benefits of a timber frame over brick.I am so pleased with our choice as the works have gone very smoothly, on time and in budget. No scary extras.The wood was of a very high standard. The team are easy to work with and worked well onsite with the other tradesman. Luke the contractsmanager was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy.We are very happy to see visions part in our masterplan finished and would give Vision 5 stars.
Response from the owner: Thank you Tracey, very grateful for your positive review of our services. We're very pleased to hear you had an enjoyable experience with Vision and keep us posted on how the rest of the works progress. All the best, the team at Vision.
Such a friendly, professional team, from Jane in the office to the skilled workers making the timber frames. They have been extremely helpful to us. Much appreciated!!
Response from the owner: Thank you Richard for your kind words, always a pleasure!
We are developers building new builds and contracted Vision Development to build us 7 timber frame houses. They did a great job delivering on quality and working within the times frames. Vision is a very friendly and helpful team always looking for solutions to fulfill our requirements. I would highly recommend and look forward to future cooperation.Many ThanksGeorge
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind review George, we've very much enjoyed working with you on your project and certainly look forward to working with you again soon.
My husband and I had a masterplan to convert a bungalow into a house with a new roomy first storey.We needed space for our new family and this was the best route for us to take. The next step was selecting the right timber frame company to carry out the project which was an anxious moment for us but we quickly realised after visiting the offices and factory of ‘Vision’ that we had made the right decision. The quotation was a ‘Fixed’ quote and not left open to wandering figures which was vital for us.Vision is a family run business which gave us the confidence to know we were in the right hands. The office was always on hand and even after completion I can still call for advice.We have recommended ‘Vision’ to a number of people and would have no hesitation in contracting ‘Vision’ in the future.
Response from the owner: Thank you Gina, we really appreciate your positive review. If you do feel up to another self-build project in the future, we'd be more than happy to assist :-)
Vision helped turn our architect’s design for a three bedroom annex into a reality.They managed the process from inception to construction, working to a fixed budget. The timber frame construction was errected on the scheduled day, and completed within a week of arriving on site, to budget. The accuracy of the planning meant we could co-ordinate all the trades with the arrival of the timber frame.Luke was particularly helpful throughout the process. He advised not us only on the timber frame construction process, but also met with our builder and provided additional support with decisions on foundations, insulation and general planning. It is the first time I have completed a building project from the ‘ground up’ and will definitely use Vision for our next project.
Response from the owner: Thank you Joel, was a pleasure working with you and certainly look forward to working with you again in the near future.
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.
Response from the owner: Many thanks Lorna, we're delighted you've been happy with our service. It was a pleasure working with you.
We recently embarked on the conversion of our bungalow into our dream home and after careful consideration chose to work with Vision development as our "timber frame suppliers". However, working with Luke and the Vision team they have contributed so much more than this in every aspect of this project and have guided us well beyond the scope of just 'supplying and installing a timber frame.'Their experience and knowledge across all areas of the build has been extraordinary and even after the installation of the frame have continued to be on hand to help us self manage our way towards the completion of this project.I cant get over how professional and well managed this firm is and how they always managed to find the time to expertly guide us through the whole process.. Ultimately the quality of what they deliver is absolutely first rate. And the real proof of this came when our building control inspector came to site and said it was the best timber frame project they had ever seen!I can wholeheartedly endorse Vision and can attest to the fact they are an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything!
Response from the owner: Thank you Anjohn, you're kind review means so much to us and we're so pleased that you have had such a positive experience with Vision. We are more than happy to help where we can so please keep in touch :)
When looking for a timber frame company to manufacture and erect a timber frame for my extension, Vision stuck out from the rest. I got 4 or 5 quotes, Vision wasn’t the cheapest, they also weren’t the most expensive, but they were the only company that really gave me the confidence I was looking for. They clearly had expertise and were going to support me through the process, not just supply a cheaply made frame and outsource the erection to an unknown contractor, this was the feeling I got from one of the others. I was invited to visit the factory where I saw how the panels were made, saw the work they were doing and had in-depth conversations with Tim. Vision is a family run business and these values really come through, also very important. Site visits were thoroughly carried out and I’m extremely happy with the end product. I would highly recommend Vision to anyone.
Response from the owner: Thank you Paul for your kind words, this means a lot to us as we do our best to stand out from the rest! We're very pleased you are happy with your new extension, please keep in touch! All the very best from the team at Vision.
Response from the owner: Great photos Martin! Thank you for adding these and our review, all the best from the team at Vision.
Built with a timber frame for the first time with Vision Development. In general a very positive experience.
Response from the owner: Thank you Jade!
Vision Development has recently successfully carried out a project to build my contemporary new home.The works were completed on time and on budget which is essential for any developer. It can be a very worryingtime committing to a big expenditure as a timber-frame, but I quickly realised I had chosen well with Vision.Vision have been supportive for the duration of the construction, and I have felt reassured with their help and advice. Vision went above and beyond helping and advising me in areas I was unsure of and even helped me once their part of the build was completed.The team were professional and always approachable, working to a very high standard to deliver a quality product.We are delighted with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others.
Response from the owner: Many thanks David for your kind review and rating of our services. We hope you enjoy your new home!
Vision have enabled us to build a beautiful home from our humble bungalow.From the outset they were friendly, professional and efficient. They took our architects drawings and produced a comprehensive quote which was very reasonably priced.Once we started the project they developed an effective design that we were able to collaboratively work with the team to refine.Even when our lack of understanding meant ambiguity in the deliverables, they helped us understand the process and always to time to talk us through things when needed.The installation team were really friendly and a pleasure to have on site, in stark contrast to some of the contractors we’ve used.They delivered us an amazing solution to time and budget, despite all the challenges that COVID through at them and the industry.They offer the friendliness and care of a small company whilst providing a level of service that you just can’t get from much larger suppliers.I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.
Response from the owner: Thank you Jeremy for taking the time to review our services. It was a pleasure to work with you on your project, what a transformation from the existing bungalow, your new home is very impressive! Vision strive to ensure our customers have a personalised, attentive & professional service so we are so pleased you experienced this from us. All the best from everyone at Vision.
Following many hours researching building techniques for our new build we decided on a timber frame structure, which hit the sweet spot in terms of cost, ease, speed of construction, long term energy efficiency and friendly to the environment.The building is insulated and air tight to a high standard and with the addition of solar panels and battery storage we expect very low electricity bills.Tim and the Vision team have been very helpful with contacts, advice and tips. As a first time builder this proved invaluable and saved a lot of time, potential additional cost and head scratching! Based on many years experience in developing, building, coupled a keen interest in new methods and ideas they also liaised with our other suppliers where required, so an important part of the teamWe had two teams onsite; the first erected the prefabricated insulated panels and constructed the roof timbers and the second added the roof insulation, additional internal insulation, airtight layer and battens ready for plaster boarding.Both teams were very friendly and, contrary to all the stories you hear about builders, kept us informed at each stage, arrived on time and completed the work on time. They also highlighted some design issues and worked with us to resolve them. They were genuinely interested in the success of the project.
Response from the owner: Thank you Paul, it has been a pleasure working with you on your project and we thank you for your kind comments. We're all looking forward to seeing the finished home which we hope will be perfect for your daughter and her family.
First class service - friendly & efficient.The contract manager allocated to our project ( Luke Macauley) was always available to solve any issues that arose promptly and efficiently.
Response from the owner: Thank you Kevin for taking the time to review us. Its so nice to hear this kind of feedback and have happy customers. From the team @ Vision.
From the outset of our Self-Build project to change our 1950's bungalow into our forever how Vision Development were excellent. Nothing was a major problem to overcome, including working under the tin hat to protect parts of our original house we wanted to keep. Dawid and Damian were excellent on site and Luke was always only a text away and able to respond to inevitable multiple questions we had along the way. Its now several weeks since the team left us and having now worked with many other trades I can safely say Vision have been a true pleasure and professional company to work with.
Response from the owner: Many thanks Paul for your kind review, we are so pleased you've had an enjoyable experience with Vision. We know self-building can be challenging at times so like to think we are always on hand to lend a hand where we can! Really looking forward to seeing how your new home progresses, please keep in touch.
Vision supplied and erected a timber frame for a 4 bedroom detatched house. Their service was excellent with a well designed timber frame of good quality and excellent value. The few problems that arose were very promptly dealt with and I always felt that they had the best intentions of the client at heart. Theirs will be the first number I call should I need another timber frame. They also supplied doors and windows which were also very good quality.
Response from the owner: Many thanks Nigel, we hope to work with you again in the future!
Response from the owner: Thanks Ben. The homes look really good, nice work!
Vision has fulfilled my dream to add an extension to my agricultural home. The process was simple and Tim understood exactly how I envisaged the home to look.The larch clad extension has floor to ceiling turn and tilt windows and also has large patio doors making the rooms light and airy. The whole timber frame arrived on a lorry and was up within a few weeks. In the end the whole project took 6 months to complete. Really happy, especially the interior space and insulation, very little heating required and cool in the summer. The raised patio deck with its glass balustrade gives my home the ';wow' factor. Just beautiful, very happy.
We are 95% complete with our new build house project, Vision we’re contracted to provide a bespoke timber frame to meet the Passive House standards we had applied to the design. They were engaging and innovative in their approach, very willing to help with ideas for technical challenges in the design and also suggesting other companies to tackle the works outside their contract.Our design required a high degree of precision to achieve the architectural ambitions and our low energy targets. They did a really good job at a competitive price, and the experience was frankly a pleasure. Special mention has to be given to the site team led by Luke, who really cared about both the quality being delivered and was very diligent keeping us informed.There were a few hiccups along the way, as there always are with any project, but you learn more about a lot about a companies values through their approach to adversity. Vision operated with absolute professionalism and fairness throughout the project.
Response from the owner: Thank you Matt for taking the time to review our services, we are very grateful and also pleased that working with us has been an enjoyable experience for you, as it has been for us. Your new home is truly one of a kind and extremely impressive. Thank you for choosing to work with us on your new build project, we hope to work with you again in the future. Kindest regards, The Team @ Vision.
Vision helped me change a small bungalow into a family home, they were very professional and extremely helpful as this was a project that I decided to manage. Tim and Ian assisted me during the whole process and then once it was time for the build to start Luke was appointed as the contract manager who we are more than pleased with as he was very helpful and knowledgeable. Thank you Vision
Response from the owner: Thank you Charleen for your kind review of our services. We appreciate your comments towards our team and are very pleased you have had an enjoyable experience with us. We know managing a build can be stressful so thank you for taking the time out to write such a complimentary review.
Metrix Development Ltd build quality homes and have demanding standards when selecting materials to be incorporated into a construction. As with any developer we depend on quality of product, budget and timescales all of which were met by Vision Development. The site was difficult to access and situated next to a railway line therefore not permitting a crane to be brought onto site as would be normal. Not a problem to Vision, the panels were hand-balled into position and the job was completed.Thanks Vision

Response from the owner: Many thanks Bryan for your kind comments, we look forward to working with you 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.Robert Towill

Vision Development South Ltd prepared our order in good time, erected the church building according to agreed terms and the Trustees are very pleased with the result. Business transaction was very straightforward and it was a pleasure to do business with this company.

Vision supplied and fitted 6 x timber frame houses for our latest development in Basingstoke. From start to finish they offered an exceptional service. The frames were erected on time and budget and importantly to a high standard. There was always someone at the end of the phone too. On top of that all the administration was does efficiently we no need to chase for compliance documentation. I would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner: Many thanks Ryan, we really enjoyed working with you on the project and look forward to working with you on the next. The houses are finished to a very high standard and look great from a birds-eye view - https://www.timber-frame-suppliers.co.uk/2020/six-new-timber-frame-homes-in-basingstoke-hampshire/
Tim's team has worked very hard on the building site I overlook
I would highly recommend Tim and team, they have gone out of their way to help throughout the process, from initial contact, design, production, delivery and guidance through the build itself. The actual product is of very high quality with clear design and instructions on how to erect. As a builder myself this is one of the quickest and most efficient builds I have ever done. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Vision to anyone and give them 10 out of 10 for service and product.
Response from the owner: We're so pleased you were happy with the service we offered Stanley, we look forward to working with you again and thank you for your kind words.

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.
Response from the owner: Thank you Kate for your very kind review. We really enjoyed working with you on your new home and it's looking fab! Please keep in touch, all the best - enjoy your wonderful new home! All at Vision.
We used Vision Development for the construction of six houses and garages. Their conduct was professional from the start and throughout the work, which was completed without problem and at a reasonable price. Philip & Colette
Vision could not have been more helpful from the start. I felt very anxious about taking the ambitious steps to have a new house build for me but I am so glad that I went ahead with my decision and chose Vision. The family run business made sure the project was carried out in the time frame given and because I had a fixed quote at the outset I had no nasty shocks to the budget. The experience was truly enjoyable and I would recommend it to anyone
My wife and I decided rather than move from our long term home we would improvethe available space. We are so pleased we chose a Vision timber frame for our extension,not only was it a super quick build but the Company was a pleasure to do business with.The communications were excellent and the site installers a great team.We were soon enjoying our new found space and would recommend Vision to anyone.
Anne & Ashley BediniOur project wasn’t a simple one, but there again it would seem that most things we do never are.Unlike most people who are sensible and build a house from the beginning so everything is designed together, our project was to turn an existing poorly insulated 1960’s chalet bungalow into a large more efficient aesthetically pleasing house. Many timber frame manufacturers wouldn’t entertain such a scheme due to the technical difficulties of matching the new timber structure to the existing masonry walls. Vision Developments however were happy to take on the challenge. They worked with us and our drawings to design the structure that would enable them to match the new timber frame to the old imperfect walls. Just to make things more difficult for them we then broke the news that we also remaining resident in the house during the work. Un-phased by our stupidity Vision put together an efficient sequence of work to seamlessly remove the existing bungalow roof, erect the first floor wall panels, partitions and crane in the huge 9 metre wide roof trusses to complete the outer shell as quickly as possible. It was very much a case of “Off with the old and on with the New” which enabled the building to be stripped and water proof again all within one month. During this time there were a few hic-ups and challenges where we would make a few “last minute” adjustments. The workmen on site however were very friendly and organised, and worked efficiently to deal with these issues to get our structure up as fast possible. Without the confident, helpful and professional approach of Vision Development the work to our house would have been far more difficult and stressful and we would not have been able to remain in the dwelling while the work progressed. We highly recommend them.
"We contracted Vision to provide us with the timber frame for our self build extension. The roof was quite complex and demanding in that we replaced the whole existingroof while we were still living in it! We needed someone who could handle this and felt Vision right for the job and they were local.Adam led the project from liaison with the technical drawings through to coming on site and building it. This worked well and went very smoothly. The construction onlytook a few weeks which considering the nature of the build was very good. Vision also helped us by additionally providing the ground works and recommending their preferred contractors like the scaffolding.All in all they were very helpful, did what they said they would and ran on time. We would like to thank the whole team for their input in realising our home."
Keep to schedule; excellent work; VERY helpful staff; good value
Vision Development couldn't have been more helpful. The process was smooth and timely from start to finish, changes from the architects designs were accommodated, and the outbuilding they have made for us - incorporating several steels - is of excellent quality. I would thoroughly recommend then to anyone wanting to be assured of the best product and service.
Right from the outset the team at Vision worked closely with me, my architect and the builders to ensure that everything for my large home extension went smoothly. I was always kept informed of progress during offsite construction of the frame and delivery was bang on schedule. Importantly, the frame was made with pin point accuracy which clearly delighted the builder! Thanks to Jane, Luke and the team for a first class service.
Single Storey & 1st floor ExtensionsMy wife and I decided to completely transform our single storey house into a large contemporary two storey home.Clearly this was an ambitious plan and we had to feel confident of any Company we decided to go forward with.Vision came recommended and I am glad they were as we could not have wished for better quality, organisationand above all attention we received. The finished product looks absolutely superb and we couldn’t be more delighted.Thanks to all at Vision
Everyone at Vision have been fantastic from the very beginning to the end. A few changes from us were dealt with speedily and effectively (sorry about those!). It was great that different members of the team popped in to check on development and make sure we were happy and everything came in at exactly the price agreed, no niggles or unexpected bills. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone. It is rare but these guys turn up when they say and do what they say well within the timings initially put forward.
Timber frame panels and rafters for large double storey extension to 3 sides of our 1960's house in Oxfordshire completed without our family moving out! Lots of awkward angles and walls that weren't square to contend with so a number of the panels manufactured on site! Impressive 'can do' attitude - can't recommend them too highly! Would definitely use this company again.
Right from the first phone call vision made us feel at ease with the build. It’s quite a stressful time building your own home with lots of bumps in the road but Tim and his team are brilliant.Nothing seemed to much trouble. The guys on site were neat tidy and polite and always had answers to our questions. We have already recommended vision to friends who are thinking of building their own home.Like I said Brilliant!!!!!!!
Having a tricky narrow access to my site it was important I chose the right timber frame providerwho could negotiate any difficulties that may have arisen from the site’s tight location.After speaking with Tim and the staff at Vision I was quickly reassured that my project would gosmoothly and to my satisfaction which it has. The project ran to the speedy schedule provided at theoutset and therefore my project programme stayed on track.‘Vision’ manufactured my timber frame to my design and specification in their own workshops in Reading,I was welcome to go and visit anytime to see the progress. I am delighted that the timber frame is nowcomplete and thank ‘Vision’ for making the process effortless.
New Build HouseNew Build Home in Chandlers FordThis was our 6th new build and we were initially sceptical about using timber frame however we were so glad we did ! Vision are a very professional, friendly, family run business and a delight to deal with. Initially Tim guided us through the whole process, he is very practical, easy to talk to and is full of enthusiasm. He was always on hand to provide advice and is very knowledgable about all new building products. The Team were also very professional and helpful particularly Lucy in the office and Dawid on site. The build started on time, ran smoothly and continuously and completed on schedule. That is not something that happens every day in the building industry ! Well done Vision.Thank you Mark & Chris Dewey.
I was so pleased to have found Vision Developments. From the outset speaking with Tim I knew I wanted to use them. His can do attitude, experience and contacts was great. He and his team Jane, Lucy and Rafal were always very helpful and willing to put themselves out even after the build. The build itself was dealt with very professionally by Roy and Christian. The plot was very tight but again the can do attitude that seems to run through the company got it done. Really pleased with the house. I will definitely use Vision on the next project
Tim at Vision Developments understood our requirements from day1They designed and installed on time and within budget and would not hesitate in using them again
I had a timber frame extension and really pleased with the finished product. Nice company to deal with and would recommend.
Eco Homes Direct a specialist in Affordable, Low Energy Homes has worked regularly with Vision as their TF supplier. A good working relationship from start to finish with first class personal service and complete understanding as to what we wanted and how to achieve it cost effectively. Nothing was too much trouble and under pressure the family team reacted professionally and swiftly . Highly recommend. Thanks.
Tim and his team were most helpful from our first visit to them, when the idea first arose to build house for our daughter and son in law in our garden.At every step of the way Vision Development's organisation and schedule were exactly on time. It is not an easy site to access, but no fuss was made,and the frame was up and finished within two weeks. Tim was always on hand to answer any queries or problems from the council with great patienceand information. We are thrilled with the house, and we would highly recommend Tim and his team for any project.
Really happy with our new cabin. Communication with Tim and his staff was great from the off, which reassured us we were making the right choice. Once the structure arrived on site it flew up and the standard of finish is great. Other builders and the building inspector from the council have commented favourably on the quality of the materials used and the quality of the construction itself. We made a couple of changes 'on-the-fly' which were accomodated by the contractors on site (although I'm sure they won't thank me for suggesting that they enjoy awkward customers).We are really happy with the building itself, but the best bit is that when people ask how much it cost and we tell them, they are stunned by how affordable it is.
If you only have time to read the headlines of a review about Vision, this introduction will tell you all you need to know.Firstly, you are dealing with a family owned and run business that has been around for decades. Why does family run matter? Well if you are thinking of working with or buying from Vision it means they care. Each member of the family team have important roles that they each take great pride in, because what they do matters. As a unit they are trustworthy, responsive and a real pleasure to deal with. It is a great shame that such good businesses are so rare to find in this day and age and for that reason alone, I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.Our Experience:Vision built us a bespoke eco house in South Oxfordshire. Pre-sale, they completely understood our requirements and quickly agreed the design of our new home. The attention to detail for design and procurement of materials was outstanding. The very best materials were sourced internationally to complete the build of our A+ energy rated home.The speed and completion of the work was exactly to time; in fact Vision showed us such faith and trust as the sale of our family home fell through and they professionally and patiently handled all of the delays that this caused us.The finished product is of the highest standard – It really has a wow factor and we just can’t wait to go home every day to our new home. Not only is the home beautiful, the functionality and energy efficiency is amazing. It uses the very latest MHVR technology to ventilate and heat the property. Just a single hour of underfloor heating in the morning will keep the entire property heated to about 22 degrees for the entire day. We are producing more electricity than we use so our energy bills are nominal.Vision’s aftercare has been amazing –anything that we have asked has been promptly answered and any teething problems have been handled excellently. No problem is ever too big or small for them to handle, you are never made to feel anything other than welcome when you call. We would have no doubts in recommending them – if this wasn’t our forever home, we’d buy another one!
Vision did a superb job for us and Yarrells school. We designed a timber frame building with with an unusual butterfly roof. Vision worked very hard to deliver the scheme we designed. The were reasonably priced and extremely quick on site. The timber frame flew up and the result was excellent. The school are very happy with the building. It has also performed thermally as well.
From the outset it was clear that we had made the right choice in using Tim and his team at Vision. Tim's vision, values and high standards run through the whole company whether they be in the office, the workshop or on site.Vision have restored our faith in the building trade. It really has been a joy and a pleasure for them to be involved in our project and we are sorry that their part in our project is at an end. The coffee machine is always on and you are all, always welcome in our home.Catherine and Richard Redding
Vision were recommended to us by a friend who also used them. Tim and the team have been great with our double extension and were always on hand to sort out any issues. The build was but up on time and the finishing touches have really made all the difference. The quality of the timber and cladding is amazing. Luke was onsite pretty much every day project managing, or just a phone call away.
Response from the owner: Thank you Lisa, we're so pleased you are happy with your new extension, it really does look very chic and modern.. i'm very envious of your new dressing room! Enjoy your new space!
I would like to thank all the staff at Vision they have just completed a large extension onto an existing timber frame building for me.Most companies i contacted were not prepared to take this project on but Vision were more than happy to tackle it.The job was not without its challenges and Vision were very obliging when things didn't quite work out as planned.I would be more than happy to recommend them.
Response from the owner: Thank you Mel, very kind of you to recommend us. I hope the rest of the build went smoothly. We put a blog together on your build on our website: https://www.timber-frame-suppliers.co.uk/2020/timber-frame-extension-to-existing-property-in-marlow-buckinghamshire/
I appear to be the exception in these reviews. Bottom line being that I wish we had never contracted with Vision. Much of their work was as expected, but we have had problems, some of which have been resolved, some not. But the nub of the issue is being treated as though we are stupid and know nothing. There has on a number of occasions been an arrogance in the correspondence between us, both in writing and on the phone. And when there is no route out of accepting a problem is a genuine problem, then they stop speaking to us and hide away. It is correct to say we are not builders, but we have professionals around us so we are not unaware or uneducated. Our next project will not be going the way of Vision.

Highly Recommend Vision
Vision Development South built a timber-frame cottage and ancillary building for us. The work was overseen by Luke and we couldn't have been happier with the quality of the work, service and timing. We would highly recommend anyone planning to build a timber-frame building to get in touch with them.

Vision are the perfect partner for developers
Vision Development is the perfect partner for Maverick Properties Ltd. We have used Vision on a number of occasions for a wide range of projects across the UK. in which they have shown their ability to meet critical timelines and follow budget forecasts accurately throughout challenging supply chain times, whilst maintaining the high H&S and workmanship standards on site.Many of the projects we have undertaken together have involved teams working together and thinking outside the box and implementing solutions for any challenges arising.Regardless of how complicated the task, Luke and the team at Vision work alongside us to solve problems and meet our needs, rather than finding the easiest and quickest fix that may have negative long-term impact.Vision have proven their wealth of construction and timber frame expertise with an proficient in-house team and associated experts in fields including designers and engineers. We would have no reservations in recommending Vision for any structural timber frame projects.

We approached a number of building companies with our proposal for the conversion of a steel framed barn and received varying responses. It is fair to say that Vision were the most enthusiastic and embraced the concept right from our first approach. Tim and his team supported and helped us in transforming our initial thoughts and plans into practical proposals. Like all complex projects there were issues that needed to be resolved, our barn conversion was not as straightforward as a new build house as we had to fit the timber frame structure around the steel barn frame. Working with us Vision found solutions for the technical difficulties and we ended up with a house that is exactly as we initially envisioned. Both in the office and on site Vision were easy to speak with and friendly, they kept us fully informed of what they were doing, delivering everything that they promised at the price quoted, despite the chaotic building material prices through 2022. If we were to take on another project we would definitely use Vision again.

I can't recommend Vision Development highly enough!
From the early design phase of all our buildings we've worked closely with Vision" in truly two way discussions . We were able to explore all the pros and cons of different timber frame wall build ups / achievable u values / open vs closed panel designs etc etc and all the effects these decisions will have on the whole build including , cost, erecting logistics , build speed etc through to finished building performance
Vision have been with us from day one on every decision, not only in relation to the timber frame but across the whole build, they've always been happy to share their experience and wisdom and are always quick to say: " no its cheaper/quicker for you to supply and fit this or that element onsite yourselves" etc.
Another of the many good points for us about working with Vision Development is that they can scale up to deliver as many buildings as needed but also the "family run" attitude and way of working makes them able to build smaller bespoke timber frame designs to our exact needs.
All our buildings were delivered and erected exactly to the pre- agreed programme. The cost is always very competitive and build quality is always very high.
In short, for their experience and professionalism, for their total commitment to quality throughout, but mostly for their friendly, honest, can-do work ethic, I can't recommend Vision Development highly enough !

On time and within budget!
We had to find a timber frame manufacturer. Our Architect supported us to find Vision.
This seemed a little daunting at first until we spoke to Vision Development and read the many positive reviews. Also considering the benefits of a timber frame over brick.
I am so pleased with our choice as the works have gone very smoothly, on time and in budget. No scary extras.
The wood was of a very high standard. The team are easy to work with and worked well onsite with the other tradesman. Luke the contracts
manager was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we were happy.
We are very happy to see visions part in our masterplan finished and would give Vision 5 stars.
We decided to take on a large renovation project and extend our home upwards and outwards. Our house had a flat roof and needed a new timber roof from scratch and a timber frame single storey extension.George Mazurek

Many Thanks

Vision helped turn our architect’s design for a three bedroom annex into a reality
They managed the process from inception to construction, working to a fixed budget. The timber frame construction was erected on the scheduled day, and completed within a week of arriving on site, to budget. The accuracy of the planning meant we could co-ordinate all the trades with the arrival of the timber frame.
Luke was particularly helpful throughout the process. He advised not us only on the timber frame construction process, but also met with our builder and provided additional support with decisions on foundations, insulation and general planning. It is the first time I have completed a building project from the ‘ground up’ and will definitely use Vision for our next project.

Friendly, helpful & responsive
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.Page 1 of 12:
