Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Coordinate structural tolerances and required finish layers beforehand.
What the drawing needs to explain
Draw one bespoke junction at a large scale with every adjoining finish layer. Identify who takes final dimensions and which substrate must be ready for that measurement.
Decide this before construction
Approve material combinations and the sample detail before production. Complete work affecting dimensions before ordering final bespoke components.
Cost factors for this service
Costs depend on element size, finish level, transport and connection work. Ask for the scope and selected specification to be described separately.
Bring this to the discussion
Photographs of the existing situation, available drawings and your requirements for timber frame & prefabricated elements. Identify the elements that should remain.
