How We Work

How We Work

Rufus McIntosh in his woodworking workshop. The workspace has wooden framing, windows, and construction tools visible.

Approach & Experience

Work is informed by extensive experience in heritage joinery and traditional timber construction.

Projects are built around correct material selection, appropriate detailing, and an understanding of how timber performs over time in real environments.

Selected Projects, Not Volume Work

Projects are undertaken selectively to ensure each commission is properly considered, designed, and executed.

This allows focus on quality, detail, and long-term performance rather than throughput.
