The Re-Erecting Process

Foundation Preparation

Before re-erecting the frame, we ensure that the foundation is prepared and ready to support the structure. This involves site preparation, leveling, and constructing a suitable foundation.

Frame Assembly

Our team of skilled craftsmen reassembles the timber frame on the new site, following the original layout and design. This process involves positioning each beam accurately and securing the joinery features.

Structural Integrity

We ensure that the re-erected frame meets modern building standards while preserving its historical integrity. This includes inspecting and reinforcing the timbers as needed to ensure stability and durability.

Dry-In

Once the frame is erected, we proceed with the dry-in phase, installing the roof, windows, and doors to protect the interior from weather conditions. This step ensures that the structure is watertight and secure, ready for further interior work.
