With over 25 years of experience in working with timber, we are best placed to help you achieve your dream. We’ll share your passion for creating a beautiful, bespoke, self-build timber frame home.
Our expertise in timber engineering that encompasses trusses, joists, and self build homes makes us the ideal partner for your self-build project.
Flexible Contracts
Our unique approach to flexibility is a key point in choosing Bartram to design your timber frame home. Unlike other large-scale mainstream timber frame home manufacturers, our contracts and payment systems are designed to allow our clients to change and adapt their self build homes as the process progresses.
Many other manufacturers will ask you to sign contracts for your own design, meaning that it then becomes their property, and thus you’re unable to go to the market for competitive pricing. At Bartram, we don’t believe in this, as we believe you should be able to retain full control over the design and build process. The detail is in the small print.

At Bartram we are proud to hold various accreditations that we have worked tirelessly to achieve over the last 10 years.
We are proud to be STA (Structural Timber Association) Gold Members.

Bedford Rugby Club
What an amazing opportunity we were given to provide a design solution to an existing steel Frame at Bedford Rugby club.
Bartram Timber Frame were heavily involved in the design process to ensure that all of Bedford Rugby Clubs criteria were met. We provided design solution for a stepped terrace giving the Rugby club a useable multi-functional space that is regularly used for corporate events and can be hired from the rugby club for private social functions.
Not only did we design the Building, we manufactured the Timber frame on our 5 acre site, ideally located just a few miles from the Rugby club. All in all a very exciting project delivered on time drawing on many areas of our expertise.
Cambridge Rugby Club
We were extremely pleased to be approached to build the new Changing rooms, gym and office facility at Cambridge Rugby club. The project was a pleasure from start to finish. It was clear their current changing facilities were beyond saving!!
Our designers worked with the Rugby club to achieve all the elements that they required ensuring every square inch was usable floor space. The Trusses were manufactured in our Beeston plant and the timber cladding applied to the exterior was also supplied by Bartram’s all from out 5 acre production facility.
The installation process was completed by our experienced fitters, ensuring a seamless design, supply and installation process delivered locally from our plant just a few miles from the Rugby club.
Excellent Example of Quality Manufacturing
This 29 plot development in Kent is nearing completion. Our 5 acre manufacturing site with Direct access to the A1 near Sandy in Bedforshire is ideal, not only in its location to supply large areas of the country, but is also superbly equipped to manufacture all elements of timber frame. All Trusses are manufactured on site, as are our easi-joists flooring systems. These can be supplied loose of can be manufactured into floor decks. We stock large quantities of I beam that can also be manufactured into floor decks or again supplied loose.
