2 Step 2: Meet your local design consultant Having received your enquiry, your local Oakwrights design consultant will get in touch to arrange a meeting with you. During this time, you can talk through your ideas and they will share their expertise, discussing all the possibilities for your extension. Here at Oakwrights, we typically design four types of oak frame extensions for our clients. Please click on the links below to explore their key features: Garden room Sunroom Orangery Conservatory.
3 Step 3: Design Taking into account your wish list and requirements for your new build, your Design Consultant will produce a design which encompasses your ideas, space and budget. This will be sent to you for your consideration, along with a non-binding quote, which will give you a clear breakdown of the services and products we will be providing you with to create your dream extension.
4 Step 4: Planning Your design may fall under permitted development rights or need planning permission, and so your Design Consultant will advise you on the best route for your build during the design process. If planning permission is required, we can complete and submit the application for you and prepare a Building Regulations package on your behalf. To discover more about permitted development rights and planning permission, we have answered the most frequently asked questions within the below blogs: Permitted development FAQs Planning permission FAQs
5 Step 5: 3D Survey If planning was required for your new build and approval has been received, we will complete a 3D survey of your property before drafting a contract for you to sign and ask for a deposit for your order.
6 Step 6: Frame design Your design will then be sent to our Frame Design team, who will create a technical 3D model drawing of your extension. This is an exciting step in your journey, as you are a step closer to the day when your build will be constructed! This drawing will be sent to you for your approval.

7 Step 7: Materials order Once you have signed this off, we will order your oak and any other contracted materials we are supplying to create your extension; for example, if you have opted for our face glazing system.
8 Step 8: Oak framing Having been delivered to our Herefordshire workshops, your oak will go through our K2i Hundegger cutting machine. Cut with precision, our team of Craftsmen will then put your frame together by hand to ensure everything fits perfectly and is finished to the finest detail.
Step 9: Delivery Unassembled, your oak framed extension will be carefully transported to your home on an agreed date and put up by our experienced site teams!
