Managing Director Simon Orrells established Frame Technologies to deliver premier energy-efficient homes with innovative timber frame designs. In this episode, Simon discusses all things timber frame, with his highlights of 2023, big predictions for 2024 and some industry secrets for self-builders.  

Frame Technologies sits down with Harvey Fremlin, Managing Director of the National Self-Build and Renovation Centre, to discuss what the centre can offer self-builders, no matter what stage their project is at. 
 
 For 15 years, The National Self Build and Renovation Centre has been home to over 200 permanent exhibitors. The centre inspires visitors by showcasing the best building methods, innovations, and technologies. As well as offering impartial advice, the centre runs in-person and online events to help self-builders get the most from their project. 

For the next episode of the Frame Technologies podcast, we’ve decided to tackle one of the industry's biggest concerns: planning permission. 

We're joined by architect, Ruth Reed, Director at Green Planning Studio and the first female president of RIBA joined us.

Ruth has worked closely as a building partner with Frame Technologies for many years, providing additional support to Frame Technologies’ clients as a planning consultant and as a self-build architect. 

She brings a well-rounded understanding of the self-build experience, as she is a proud self-builder, too. Frame Technologies MD, Simon Orrells worked with Ruth to build her first self-build home before working with her again last year to complete her second self-build home, Robins Yard.
