Based in Somerset, Premier Oak Buildings Ltd (Premier Oak) is one of the leading specialists in the design, creation and installation of bespoke green oak framed buildings. With more than 12 years of experience in the design, manufacture, and construction of various green oak frame buildings, including houses, garages, extensions, outbuildings, porches, stables and garden structures such as pergolas and gazebos, as well as offering a unique glazing system to complement the build, the firm is confident it has something to suit every client’s requirement and budget. Oak's popularity as a building material is on the rise due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. Its strength and resilience make it ideal for a variety of construction projects, from new homes to extensions and even smaller structures like porches and pergolas. Not only does oak provide a timeless beauty, but it also offers environmental sustainability, as it is often sourced from sustainably managed forests. This hardwood's unique characteristics, such as increasing strength over time and resistance to adverse conditions, contribute to its reputation as a dependable choice for long-lasting construction. Utilising oak in construction not only reflects a dedication to environmental stewardship but also offers practical benefits. Its inherent strength and longevity reduce the frequency of replacement and maintenance, minimising the ecological footprint. Additionally, oak's insulating qualities contribute to a building's energy efficiency, providing a cost-effective solution in the face of rising energy demands and a growing emphasis on sustainable living. Premier Oak is passionate about creating homes using sustainable materials. The firm’s green oak is sourced from the finest trees in Europe where the timber is harvested by skilled craftsmen who ensure it is cut into the correct shape for each project. The green oak is then treated with an environmentally friendly preservative which ensures its longevity. “We know that each build is born of a dream design, so we like to make sure we get all of the detail correct and design the frame you want,” explains Managing Director Dexter Buxton. “Our team strives to put our clients at the centre of everything we do. Our goal is to create designs and buildings that our clients have been dreaming about and planning for years.” Dexter and the team take a personal interest in every project from the moment of first contact with the client and involve clients every step of the way throughout the process, encouraging them to meet the team and witness the frame being built at the workshop. This way, they are just as invested in the build process as the Premier Oak team! Staying informed about market trends and competitor activities is crucial for maintaining a competitive edge. By actively managing and enhancing its social media presence and website, Premier Oak ensures that both current and potential clients have access to the latest information about all services and innovations. This proactive approach not only fosters client engagement but also reinforces the firm’s commitment to staying ahead in a dynamic market landscape. “Our unique selling point is based on teamwork,” Dexter elaborates. “Not only do I direct the team but also work alongside them to create the perfect frames. We believe in a culture of learning and training, and therefore, every member of our team is supported and given training in this traditional craft, irrespective of their experience level. This approach helps the company grow as a whole.” Recently, in recognition of the hard work and craftsmanship of Dexter and the team at Premier Oak, the firm was rewarded with the prestigious accolade of Traditional Oak Timber Frame Craft Experts of the Year 2024.
