Working with HBC was unlike any building experience we'd heard about. They treated our home like a personal project, not a contract.

Three years in and the house has only gotten more beautiful. The beams have darkened, the wood patina is extraordinary. We feel it every day.

FAQs

Common Questions

How long does a timber frame build take?

Most residential timber frames are fabricated within 6–10 weeks and can be erected on-site in as little as a few days. Total project timelines depend on planning, site preparation, and fit-out, but our off-site fabrication significantly reduces the construction phase compared to traditional methods.

Do you work on commercial projects?

Yes. We have extensive experience supplying and erecting timber frames for commercial developments including lodges, multi-unit housing, agricultural buildings, and community structures. We work directly with developers and main contractors.

What areas do you cover?

We are based in Bunnamayne, Bridgend, Donegal and serve clients across the whole of Ireland and the United Kingdom. Distance is not a barrier — our frames are prefabricated in our facility and transported to site.

Can I use my own architect or designer?

Absolutely. We regularly collaborate with external architects, structural engineers, and self-build clients. We can work from existing drawings or provide our own design and engineering service from scratch.

Is timber frame suitable for the Irish climate?

Timber frame is exceptionally well-suited to Ireland's climate. When properly designed with adequate vapour control and weatherproofing, a timber frame structure performs better thermally than masonry — and has done so across Northern Europe for centuries.
