Passiframe specialises in bespoke timber frame manufacturing and construction for self-build homes, residential developments and low-energy buildings.
Based in the Forest of Dean, we work with self-builders, architects, contractors and developers throughout Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Bristol and Wales.
Our precision-manufactured timber frames are available supply-only or installed to watertight stage, providing flexible solutions for projects of varying sizes and specifications.
Timber frame construction across the West of England & Wales
From our manufacturing facility in Lydney, Gloucestershire, Passiframe supplies and installs bespoke timber frame systems across the West of England and Wales.
We regularly support projects throughout Gloucestershire, including Cheltenham, Gloucester and the Forest of Dean; Monmouthshire, including Chepstow and Monmouth; Herefordshire; Worcestershire, including Malvern and Worcester; and Bristol and the surrounding areas.
Our location close to the Welsh border also allows us to support self-build and development projects throughout South Wales and further afield.
Whether you’re planning a bespoke self-build home, replacement dwelling or residential development, our experienced team can provide a timber frame solution tailored to your project.
Timber Frame Installed to Watertight Stage
We manufacture your timber frame offsite, erect it on site, fit the windows and install the roof covering. We hand over at watertight stage so your team can continue with the next phase of the build.
We’ll agree the scope and handover point with you before work starts, so you and your contractor know where our work ends and theirs begins.
Supply-only timber frame
If you already have a contractor lined up to erect your frame, we can manufacture and supply the bespoke structure for them to assemble on site. We’ll review your drawings and agree what’s included in the supply package before manufacture.

Chepstow, Monmouthshire
We manufactured the panels for this three-storey home offsite and erected the timber frame in four and a half days. See the Chepstow timber frame project.

We designed and installed the timber frame system for this replacement dwelling. The owners then took the self-build through to completion. See the Forest of Dean self-build.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I purchase a timber frame without installation?
Yes. Passiframe manufactures bespoke timber frame supply-only packages for self-builders, contractors and developers who wish to manage installation themselves.
Can Passiframe install my timber frame to watertight stage?
Yes. We can manufacture and erect your timber frame, including window installation and roof coverings, depending on the agreed project specification.
Do you only manufacture timber frames for Passivhaus buildings?
No. Although we specialise in Passivhaus and low-energy construction, we also manufacture bespoke structural timber frames for projects that do not require Passivhaus certification.
Where does Passiframe supply and install timber frames?
Based in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, we work throughout Monmouthshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Cheltenham, Bristol, South Wales and the surrounding areas.
Do I need architectural drawings before requesting a quotation?
