Whether your new house was designed by Solo, your own Architect or you, we always advise that the Building Control drawings are carried out by your chosen Timber Frame supplier.

We say this because there are a myriad of technical details that differ between Timber Frame and the more widely understood brick and block systems.

Its not unusual for an Architect instructed by his or her client to produce Working Drawings, and inexperienced with Timber Frame construction to ring us many times asking for technical details. In those circumsatnces you're paying your Architect for additional hours, and there is more danger of mistakes being made which can prove very costly once on site..

Solo's Architectural Technician will produce full Working Drawings either from your own Architects paper drawings, CAD files or as part of our own design service.

Useful tip: When instructing an independent Architect or Designer, ensure that it's written into your agreement that once the design is complete, they supply you with the CAD files. Some designers are reluctant to release them, and it means that we have to redraw the design which adds time and cost to your project.
