Prime Oak Houses Prime Oak do not have a range of house types, we provide frame design & manufacture for bespoke individual homes. ©  Web by APK Building your own Prime Oak House. Building your own home can be both satisfying and stressful so planning carefully in advance is very important. Most self-builds often change during the course of the project, with an Oak house small changes are often easier than brick & block builds, but major changes can prove to be costly. You will need to put in a planning and building regulations application and you will need documentation to prove that the building is sound and built correctly, should you ever wish to sell the property. This normally either involves an Architect overseeing the project or an NHBC registered builder doing the buildworks. On a house project, Prime Oak would act as a nominated sub- contractor to manufacture and assemble the Oak frame, with the groundworks and roofworks being done by the builder. We can put you in touch with others who can oversee your project and who have experience in building Oak framed houses. What should I do next? Ideally you should at least own the land, finding the ideal plot can take years, we can then arrange for an independent specialist who can then take on the design & planning process.
