Design & Build
Timber Structures
From structural concept to precise on-site execution.
Lumber & Leaf delivers engineered timber projects from early design development through prefabrication and installation. Our integrated approach ensures structural clarity, coordinated planning and precise execution, resulting in timber structures that perform as designed.
Integrated Project Delivery
Timber construction requires careful coordination between design decisions and construction methods. Structural systems, connections and assembly sequences must be considered from the beginning.
By integrating engineering and execution within one team, we reduce uncertainty and avoid costly redesign during construction.
Projects move forward with a clear structural strategy and a realistic understanding of how the building will come together.
From Concept to Completion
Feasibility & Early Studies
Every project begins with understanding the site and structural potential. We evaluate the feasibility of timber construction and define the structural strategy.
Scope includes:
• Project evaluation
• Site considerations
• Structural concepts
• Preliminary calculations
• Cost indications
Design Development
We collaborate with architects and consultants to refine the structural system and ensure buildability.
Scope includes:
• Structural refinement
• Timber system selection
• Architectural coordination
• Prefabrication planning
• Material selection
Prefabrication & Planning
Timber structures benefit from precision prefabrication and careful planning before construction begins.
Scope includes:
• Shop drawings
• CNC preparation
• Bills of materials
• Assembly sequencing
• Procurement planning
Prefabrication improves quality and reduces construction time.
On-Site Execution
Timber elements are assembled with precision using carefully planned erection sequences.
Scope includes:
• Timber frame installation
• Roof structure installation
• Connection assembly
• On-site supervision
• Quality control
Our experienced carpentry team ensures structures are installed safely and accurately.
Engineering That Can Be Built
A well-designed timber structure must also be practical to assemble.
Our background in structural carpentry ensures that engineering decisions remain connected to real construction methods. Assembly sequences, lifting strategies and connection accessibility are considered during design development.
This practical understanding helps ensure that the finished structure performs exactly as intended.
Precision Through Prefabrication
Timber structures benefit from careful preparation before construction begins.
Many components are produced in controlled workshop conditions or CNC-machined before arriving on site. This improves dimensional accuracy and reduces delays caused by weather or site conditions.
Prefabrication allows buildings to be assembled efficiently while maintaining a high level of structural precision.
Sustainable Construction in Practice
Timber offers significant environmental advantages compared to conventional building methods, but sustainability depends on how structures are designed and built.
We prioritise efficient structural systems, durable materials and responsible sourcing to ensure long-term performance.
Our sustainability approach connects structural design with measurable environmental impact.
