Where Traditional Techniques Meet Modern Technology

We believe the craft begins long before the timber is cut. At Beam & Brace, every frame starts its life in SketchUp, where we develop detailed 3D models, shop drawings and council-ready plans. By pairing advanced digital modelling with timeless framing methods, we create structures that honour tradition while embracing the possibilities of modern technology.

This digital foundation allows us to collaborate closely with architects, refining ideas and ensuring every detail is thoughtfully resolved before construction begins. Our use of advanced CAD software brings precision, clarity and cost efficiency to every stage of the build, giving clients confidence in both the process and the final result.

Our approach is also shaped by international experience, including work in Sweden with the respected team at Kroksjöns, whose focus on prefabrication, natural materials and energy-efficient building has influenced the way we blend traditional craftsmanship with contemporary techniques.

We are also fortunate to collaborate with experts such as Johannes Kabbel, whose skills in traditional timber framing, plan development and design consultation enrich our projects.

The result is a process that respects the past, leverages the future and brings every project to life with purpose and precision.
