FAQs
General
Why choose to work with us?
Our team have been crafting beautifully bespoke oak-framed spaces for homes and businesses in Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex, including the South Downs National Park since 1998. Every single Eavoak building is handmade using responsibly sourced, PEFC-certified green oak by our talented woodworkers and carpenters. Supported by our passionate and local team of designers, town planning consultants and project managers, we can offer you a turn-key service for your oak frame project with a transparent, forward-thinking and friendly approach throughout. We discuss ideas, offer suggestions, and inspire, supporting you at every turn. The result is a beautifully unique oak-framed space created just for you and your lifestyle.
What areas do you cover?
We work predominantly within Surrey, Hampshire, and Sussex, including the South Downs National Park; however, depending on the size and timescales of the project, we will always consider other areas. Please do get in touch with us to discuss.
Where can we see your work?
We understand it can be helpful to see what a style or finish looks like in real life before committing to your final design. We have several happy clients who are more than willing to show off their completed oak-framed buildings, giving you the opportunity to make an informed decision. Your designer is available to arrange property visits as needed. You can also visit our Inspiration page for more examples of our work, ideas on how you can use your oak frame building, case studies and more.
We will be opening our Eavoak Gallery in 2025. Here, you can view our craftsmanship first-hand and explore our range of internal and external finishes. Visiting also allows you to discuss your project in detail with our experienced team of designers and carpenters. You will also be welcome to play a part in choosing the oak used for your project and experiencing how your oak frame building is crafted and brought to life.
What is your process, and who would I work with?
Our dedicated team of experts are here to support you every step of the way as you bring your custom oak building to life. From project managers and building designers to planning consultants and carpenters, we have the experience and expertise to make your vision a reality.
Our end-to-end service means we can take care of every step – all you need to do is enjoy. If you’d like a more active role, we’d be delighted to work with you or your chosen contractors to ensure your completed oak-framed building meets all your expectations.
Why are there no prices on your website? Can you provide a guide price for my project?
As all our oak frame buildings are bespoke and designed individually for each project brief, it is difficult to provide an accurate price for our products without more information. We offer complimentary site visits, during which one of our team will discuss everything in detail with you, assess your site, and take any necessary measurements. From there, we can provide an initial quote to work from and guide you on any additional features and options that might be available to you.
We offer guide prices for our single-storey oak garages and room above garages, and we have a selection of classic sizes and designs available to help you begin your process. You can order these as they are or as a starting point for your bespoke oak frame garage project.
What can my oak-framed building be used for? Can you give me some inspiration?
All our oak-framed buildings are bespoke and designed by our in-house design team to meet your exact requirements. From a guest cabin in the garden that doubles as a holiday rental, to a home for your prized collection of cars, we can build anything you wish. Our oak-framed buildings are equally suitable for commercial or community use – from much-needed office space to a pub dining shelter, cricket pavilion or even a yoga studio.
Whether you’d like to adapt one of our classic hand-built oak-framed buildings to your design or have a vision for a one-of-a-kind building, our team of talented designers and master craftsmen are here to make your vision a reality.

Our Oak-Framed Buildings
Can you supply the oak frame only or the building in kit form?
We don’t supply the frame only. We provide turnkey solutions, removing the stress and providing seamless service from start to finish so you can relax and enjoy witnessing your new oak frame vision come to life. Your oak frame will be crafted in our very own workshop, and only once it has passed all our rigorous quality checks will it be carefully packed up and personally delivered to our site team, ready to erect.
Can you work with my subcontractors?
At Eavoak, we provide a complete end-to-end service, and our experienced team can take care of every step of the process for you. However, if you prefer to be more hands-on, we are happy to work alongside you or your contractors to guarantee your completed oak frame building is everything you wish for.
Do you manage the complete project?
Yes, our Eavoak team of qualified and experienced designers, carpenters, project managers, and others will manage your project from start to finish. We provide a complete turnkey service, including planning approval and design, right through to the groundworks and decorating, should you wish.
Do you take care of the groundworks?
You may find that some construction companies regard groundworks as someone else’s problem. However, we believe it is an integral part of our service. Our long-standing groundworks contractors have been selected for their skills and exceptional level of service.
In addition to ensuring the base for your oak frame building is constructed to Local Authority Building Control standards, our groundworkers offer the following services to help complete your project.
- Landscaping
- Driveways
- Paving
- Drainage
- Brickwork
- Sewerage
- Sustainable source installation (solar, living walls and roofs)
Can you provide a design for my proposed build?
Yes. No matter what kind of building you’re looking for, we take time to understand your lifestyle and needs. We’re here to design a space you love and optimise your resources. Our designers will produce concept sketches to bring your oak frame building to life, allowing you to visualise your new space while taking local planning and conservation requirements into consideration.
We’ll share the initial concepts with you, along with a guideline quotation as a complimentary proposal for your review and feedback. If you decide to move forward, we’ll refine the concept sketches into detailed drawings and develop your building regulations package, if required.
Do your buildings come in standard sizes and designs, or can I design my own?
All our oak frame buildings are bespoke and designed individually for each project brief. We offer complimentary site visits, during which one of our team will discuss everything with you, assess your site, and take any necessary measurements. From there, we can provide an initial quote to work from and also guide you on any additional features and options that might be available to you.
Choose Eavoak and you’ll have the support of our expert team, guiding you through the process of creating your custom oak building from start to finish. We do offer some guide prices for our single-storey garages and room above garages, and have a selection of classic sizes and designs available to help you begin your process. These can be ordered as they are or as a starting point for your bespoke oak frame garage project. Learn more about our classic garage designs.
Do you offer internal fit-out and design services?
Yes. We work carefully to ensure the inside of your oak-framed building is as breathtaking as the exterior. Our experienced Eavoak team can manage your complete internal fit-outs, from kitchens, bathrooms, and decorating to key features such as wood burners and wine storage. For larger projects, we recommend interior design services to help create your space and bring your vision to life.
Depending on your brief, we can support you with the following:
- Interior design and decoration
- Kitchens
- Bathrooms
- Custom-built furniture
- Interior features such as wood burners and wine cellars
We have long-standing partnerships with all our suppliers. We can ensure that all these elements will complement your new oak frame building and are seamlessly incorporated to complete your project from the outside in.
Your designer will be pleased to share the choices and help you select the best options for your beautiful new oak-framed space.
Do you offer options for renewable energy sources?
Yes. Renewable energy sources are the natural choice for oak-framed buildings, perfect for off-grid properties and those who want to help protect our delicate environment.
We work with Clear Sky Energy, our trusted partner for many years, to supply and install a range of systems for your oak-framed building, providing you with as much information about energy efficiency as you need. We work hard to make sure our bespoke designs make intelligent use of all renewable and energy-efficient technologies and contribute to a greener, more sustainable environment.
