Our Approach

Our method of working is as follows:

1. Free Initial site survey: we will visit your garden or play area to carry out an initial survey and establish what your needs and specifications are. At this point we evaluate any safety issues, site suitability and discuss various design concepts. We will carry this out free of charge..
2. Design and plan: Squirrel Design structures are as individual as the trees or outdoor spaces they are built in or around. We take a lot of care over the design stage, and present our proposal to you as an artist’s impression of what your finished tree house or structure will look like. In addition we also produce CAD plan drawings for layout and dimensions, and elevations where necessary. At this stage we provide you with a detailed cost estimate for the build. The fee for this design service ranges from £230 to £320 depending on the scale of the project, but which is refunded off your final balance should you go ahead with the project. Should the project be a larger scale commercial scheme, the specific fees for this would be discussed and agreed prior to the work commencing.
3. Booking: once the details of the proposal are fully agreed we set a start date for the build.  This is secured with a 40% deposit, and a schedule of work is then agreed. We pride ourselves on our commitment to start your project on the date agreed.
4. The Build: we only use selected, high quality materials, sourced from specialist suppliers. All timber is treated for external durability and, with the correct yearly maintenance, will provide years of fun and entertainment. Site safety is paramount, and during the build we cordon - off the area from over-eager spectators!  We can boast a 100% reliability record – we start and finish a project when we say we are going to start and finish.  The balance is due on completion.
5. Flexibility: We are constantly assessing a project as we work through the build, and believe in a flexible approach.  Should you decide to add options to the project as we go along, this is seamlessly added into the build.
