The Oak Designs Co.

A wide range of quality oak buildings...

Oak Designs offer a wide range of quality oak buildings. We take great pride in the buildings we produce and the service we offer to our customers.

With over 30 years of experience in the oak frame industry Our M.D has worked hard to create a range of Garage and Outdoor Living buildings that are not only practical and functional but that are aesthically complimentary to their surroundings as well as being eco friendly. Our Acorn range of garages has over 480 design variations and if you can't find a building to suit your needs then we offer a bespoke design service.

At The Oak Designs Company we are pleased to launch the Arkwright building as our exclusive working from home special offer. This gorgeous building makes the perfect working from home office outbuilding in your garden. This is an ideal project for DIY enthusiasts which can be provided in kit form or alternatively utilise our expert assembly team.

Due to the sizing of this building, depending on your site this building can fall under permitted development making no need for planning permission to be granted. This costing excludes: groundworks, bricks, roofing, assembly, delivery & VAT.  

We have developed a bespoke in-house quoting system that allows us to provide you with a quote for buildings in our Acorn Range very efficiently, so you can get your project moving quickly. 

Supply & Build
Our Supply & Build service is a complete service from beginning to end, inclusive of all groundworks prior to the delivery of your building, the assembly of the Oak frame and hanging of doors (if required) and tiling of the roof once the frame is complete.

Our quality, service, expert technical advice and backup are what we strive to achieve so that our clients have a building supplied by Oak Designs that not only enhances their surroundings but adds value and leaves an enduring legacy of a great British building.

Supply & Assemble
If you have employed a local building contractor to carry out groundworks, Oak Designs will then Supply & Assemble the frame. We will manufacture the oak components exactly to the agreed design specification (designed by us) and we will deliver them to your site at an agreed time usually just after your groundworks have been completed. Our team will then erect the oak frame building on this pre-built base. Once the oak frame work is complete the customer will arrange for the roof tiling to be done and any other modifications they desire.

Depending on the location Oak Designs can supply ground works aswell as roofing to find out further details regarding this please contact the office on 01273 400411.

Supply Only
Oak Designs have over 480 designs in our Acorn Garaging Range as well as our 16 standard designs in our Outdoor Living buildings. These standard building designs can be produced quickly and efficiently in our workshops using a blend of traditional carpentry skills with some help from modern technology. We can usually produce an entire building within 6 weeks from the date of order confirmation. Once your order has been confirmed and a deposit paid we will manufacture all components in our workshops which will then be dismantled and supplied to you in kit form. They will then be delivered to you as a kit with numbered parts, working drawings and stainless steel pins and oak pegs.

Bespoke

All of our Acorn Garaging and Outdoor Living range can be customised to suit our clients’ individual requirements. Our garaging buildings can also be designed to suit habitable standards. Please ensure that you advise us so we can design to your specific requirements.

Following on from a site visit, our in-house CAD department can design and create your bespoke design using 3D modelling software to help achieve the best design for you.

Responsibly sourced Oak
We only use green oak sourced from recognised sustainable F.S.C. and P.E.F.C. certified forests. Green oak has the lowest embodied energy of any primary building material. Materials used in green building are eco-friendly and help lessen the impact of the building on the surrounding environment.

Compared with traditional brick buildings, oak framed structures are ‘dry build’ thereby saving on gallons of water normally used on a building site. They are considerably quicker to construct on site which means they are also more cost effective. When using ‘green’ unseasoned oak the timber contracts, tightening the joints to give a superbly strong structure which will endure and be admired for many years to come.
