Who we are
Green Roof Structures designs, engineers and constructs timber framed buildings. We specialise in bespoke residential and education buildings including home extensions, new build homes, standalone education buildings and garden rooms delivered as fully managed turn-key projects, or ‘bare’ frame only.
Our Team
Our experienced professionals can create and advise on the best building solution for your needs. As individuals our team has a wealth of experience across the building sector. As a collective of designers, joiners, structural engineers and consultants we offer a level of service that is bespoke to each building we create.
What we do
Green Roof Structures work with architects, and clients directly to create engineered, efficient and above all natural and beautiful structures.
We work with natural timber and engineered products such as glue-laminated (glulam) timber to create the perfect structure to frame your space.
For domestic or larger scale residential schemes, timber offers the ideal environmentally friendly structural solution. Exposed and treated, timber is a beautiful and natural finish to your project.
Green Roof Structures are able to provide fully managed build options acting as principal contractor coordinating a range of sub-contractors from our trusted working partners, or our bespoke timber frame solutions as ‘bare’ frame options only.
Sustainable design and construction
We use timber harvested from sustainable sources so you are guaranteed that your project is helping to both store carbon, and to restore natural woodlands in a managed and sustainable way. Timber is a beautiful and natural material and can be simply treated both internally and externally for a long lasting structure as any traditional construction building material.
We typically provide all of our projects with an EPDM roof with sedum mat as standard promoting pollinating insects and capturing rainwater, reducing surface water runoff. Our sedum roofs perfectly contrast the natural timber cladding options we can provide.
Process
Design
Green Roof Structures work closely with our clients and their designers to develop an appropriate timber solution to achieve the design required. We work to optimise an efficient and elegant use of timber throughout the project.
Each and every project is modelled using the latest 3D software to realise the structure so this can be viewed and coordinated with the rest of the design team.
Fabrication
Each project is unique but we aim to fabricate as much of the timber frame as possible in controlled conditions in our Gateshead workshop bringing the frame flat-pack to site for erection.
On site
Our on-site setup enables us to erect in most moderate weather conditions. We carry out erection of our flat pack style frame and direct fabrication and construction of bespoke elements cut and built on site.
