	Will I need Planning Permission? Most probably. While many of our oak-framed buildings would not ordinarily be subject to planning, they often are because they are being erected in an area of outstanding natural beauty or a conservation area. We can of course take care of any planning applications that may be necessary. top Where does the oak come from? All of our oak is drawn from renewable sources, we use both English and European Oak dependent upon our customers' requirements. top How long does a building last? Many oak-framed buildings have lasted for hundreds of years. We would expect one of our buildings, on a proper foundation, to last equally well with reasonable maintenance. top How much do your buildings cost? We provide a free quotation to each of our customers and are confident that our oak-framed buildings match up very favourably when compared to any brick or stone alternative. top I would like a site visit, is this possible? Yes this can be arranged. top Can Knightwood buildings meet building regulations and fire regulations? "Yes !" here at Knightwood Oak we have extensive experience in the construction of all types of oak-frame buildings, most of which are subject to building/fire regulations. Compliance with these regulations forms an integral part of the planning/design service we offer our clients. top Do you manage the whole project? "Yes !" we can manage the entire project through our Design to Completion service. top Can you put oak frames anywhere? As long as the necessary planning permission is in place. "Yes !" top Are oak-framed houses difficult to insure and mortgage? "No !" we have never come across an instance of someone having difficulties. top What happens to the appearance of green oak when it dries out? Over time an oak frame will dry out and weather naturally. During this time the frame will split and crack as the "shakes" open along the grain. This has no detrimental effect on the frame but adds to the character and warmth, an integral part of an oak-framed building. top Does my building have to be all oak, or can I combine it with other materials? Your oak frame can be combined with other materials and we are able to advise you at the design stage on appropriate materials for your project. top Do you do conservation and repair work on old oak framed buildings? "Yes !" we have experience of working on listed buildings, replacing fixtures like-for-like, and also experience of new buildings including entire houses. top
