Softwood
Designing softwood panels that create both conventional and unconventional buildings have constituted a significant part of our everyday business. Experienced at designing both open and closed panel systems, our design team understands how the use of both CLS and larger section timber can be utilised to create builds that are responsive to both architectural and budgetary concerns.
