When linking an extension to the main house a fully engineered foundation is carefully built, with services incorporated into the new extended building. This ensures that the extension is structurally sound and able to support the additional weight and load of the new building whilst protecting the integrity of the original foundation of the main house. The services, such as plumbing, electrical, and security systems, are seamlessly integrated into the extension to ensure that it functions properly and efficiently. By taking these steps during the construction process, homeowners can rest assured that their extended living space will be safe, durable, and comfortable for years to come. Only few oak framing companies have the capability to offer this full turnkey solution within an architecturally lead design that thoughtfully incorporates garaging with extended room above and ground floor living spaces.
The frame is also fully engineered and brought to life on site by skilled carpenters using crane lifting equipment. This is more challenging when creative designs are built as these often require intricate detailing and precise measurements, particularly when linking to the main house, making the construction process more complex. Skilled carpenters must work closely with engineers and designers to ensure that the frame is not only structurally sound but also fully airtight and weatherproof. The use of crane lifting equipment adds another layer of difficulty, as the frame must be carefully maneuverer in close proximity to the main house it connects to. Despite these challenges, the result is a truly unique and custom-built structure that showcases the craftsmanship and expertise of all involved.
