Andy a DIYer has recorded his loft conversion project on his blog (http://roomuptop.blogspot.com/ and http://idostuff.co.uk/blogs ).

Plans - Timber Frame Building ??!!
I recently asked a few architects in Bloemfontein for quotes in respect of timber framing. I was surprised about the response! Some asked whether I want building plans for a A-frame building. The others have never drawn plans for timber framing. From the questions they have asked me, I could see that they have very little knowledge of this building method. So the question is - how do we promote this green/environmental friendly method?

Know more about timber frame building in South Africa
For all those interested in timber frame building, I would recommend that you have a look at http://www.satimberhomes.co.za/ The team at SA Timber Homes also offer a timber frame building course at a very reasonable price. They are highly recommended.
