Built around the project

Barn conversions bring existing structure, new living requirements and careful material decisions into the same project. The work needs to respect what gives the building its character while making it practical for a new use.

CarpentersMark Ltd can combine general building work with green oak framing and made-to-measure carpentry where those skills form part of the conversion.

Suitable for

  • Conversion of existing agricultural buildings
  • Repair and adaptation of timber structures
  • New openings and glazed features
  • Internal structural carpentry
  • Bespoke stairs and joinery

How the work develops

Every project starts with what is already known and moves toward the next practical decision.

  1. 01

    Read the existing structure

    The starting point is the building itself, the available design information and the condition of the relevant fabric.

  2. 02

    Develop the details

    Where required, CAD helps resolve new structural timber and its relationship with existing walls, roofs and openings.

  3. 03

    Build with continuity

    The conversion, frame and bespoke elements are coordinated around the agreed scope and sequence.
