What a fantastic couple of days at the NSBRC 👏

It was great to meet so many people, chat through such a wide range of projects and see so much enthusiasm for low-energy timber frame construction.

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the Broadaxe Timber Frames show home over the last few days; whether you’re right at the start of your self-build journey or already progressing plans, we really enjoyed the conversations.

It was also brilliant to see the response to the house itself and to showcase what can be achieved with our high-performance twin-wall timber frame system.

Thanks again to everyone who visited, and to all involved in bringing the project together 👏

From render ➡️ reality 😎

Designed by @arborarchitectsand brought to life using the Broadaxe Timber Frames twin-wall system 🏡

It’s been amazing to watch the original concept become reality at the NSBRC over the last few weeks.

You can now walk around the house every Tuesday–Sunday 👋

Planning a self-build project? We’d be happy to meet you there and chat through your ideas.

And just like that… we’re up and running 🔨

Our timber frame show home at the NSBRC is starting to take shape and it’s looking good already.

Not long now until you can walk through it for yourself 👀

Two weeks to go 👀

We’re excited to be launching the Broadaxe Show House at The National Self Build & Renovation Centre’s May Show!

Come and meet the team, explore the house, and see how our timber frame system delivers sustainability without compromise.

Spring has sprung, and our inner city residence is nearly ready with garden planting underway, internal spaces cleaned down and furniture arriving imminently ☀️

Located in Hereford’s Central Conservation Area, the house is built to passive standard, and shall sit nestled amongst the historic grain and patchwork of later ad hoc infill. The external roof terrace wraps around the elevated living room, taking in glimpsed views of the Cathedral and its chiming bells.

Something big is coming…

We’ve secured our space at the NSBRC in Swindon - and we’re going all in.

Not just a stand, we’re creating a full timber frame show home you can actually walk through, experience and get a proper feel for; showcasing the benefit of sustainablility in building.

Thanks to @arborarchitects for the fantastic design!

We’re excited for this one and really looking forward to showing you around.

Stay tuned...

Delivered for our sister company, @firthconstruction .It might look complex - because it is.

But before anything goes to site, we’ve already built it all virtually.

Every stud, every beam, every junction is modelled in full 3D - so we know it works, not just hope it works.

Most projects are like a bit of Lego.

This one…
Lego, but someone’s turned the difficulty up to 1000.

Good job we like puzzles in this family!

The Hillside project is living up to its name.

With its stepped levels and bold layout, it’s got a real Aztec feel to it. This one has definitely been a bit of a head scratcher along the way, but that’s what makes it interesting.

Huge credit to the lads on the groundworks, they’ve done a cracking job shaping this out on a tricky site.

The timber frame has taken a lot of careful design by our sister company, @broadaxetimberframes , and the kit is now in production.@croftdesigncollective

This one’s going to be a fun one to erect. Stay tuned…. #buildthedream #timberframe #ecobuild #groundworks #buildersofinstagram

Always good to go back and see a project finished properly 👌

We supplied and erected this passive standard timber frame for this beautiful house on the south wales coast, and it’s great to see it all come together.

Big credit to @jonesandbradleybuilding who took it on from there and have done a fantastic job finishing it off - looks spot on 👌🏻

Almost exactly a year ago, we stood on this site with our client, shook hands, and agreed a timber frame project just ahead of the Farnborough show.
Today, we stood in the same spot again but this time inside the building itself.
From a conversation in a clearing to a structure that’s now taking real shape, it’s hugely satisfying to see how far the project has come. A great example of what can be achieved with clear intent, good collaboration, and trust on both sides.
Looking forward to standing here again next year and seeing Great Scott fully finished and lived in. @great_scot_selfbuild #selfbuild #buildingthedream #ecobuild
