The external framing has been bolted down to the blockwork upstands and braced to exact alignment, ready for sheathing and weatherproofing. The roofline is already defined, with careful detailing around the steel goal-posts to carry the wide-span openings.
Inside, first-fix electrical work is underway, with the team running lighting, socket, and data cabling through the new studwork. One of the more unusual aspects of this home is its dedicated backup generator - a rare but welcome feature in domestic projects - which has required bespoke planning in the rewire to ensure seamless integration with the main consumer unit.
With the frame up, the next steps will see insulation and sheathing enclose the new envelope, followed by the roof structure and weatherproof coverings. Before long, this timber skeleton will be a fully wrapped and watertight extension, ready for internal trades to take over.
Check back soon as Woolridge View begins its transformation from open frame to a warm, light-filled living space with one of the finest rural outlooks in the county.
