Oakwrights is, according to its website, a builder of oak frame houses based at The Lakes, Swainshill, Hereford. This article sets out what the company states on its public website next to what Green Village offers, using the same criteria, so you can decide based on verifiable facts.
What Oakwrights states on its website
According to its website, Oakwrights offers oak frame houses in several styles; the home styles page names a Farmhouse range, Barn style homes and a Country contemporary range. The home page says the company builds the client's frame and pre-insulated panels in its workshops and that its own crew erects the oak frame.
The site says an in-house architectural team works with the client, and its planning permission page says the team can submit drawings, supply details such as room mark-ups and liaise with the relevant parties. Oakwrights also describes a turnkey service in which the client partners with an in-house Project Manager who manages the build from conception to completion; the page calls a turnkey home a fully managed project.
