Sustainable timber builds, renovations, extensions, conversions and bespoke furniture offering ecologically sound solutions to your property.
We are big on small details.
J Forrest Group offers everything from the initial design of your project and guiding you through the process to the finishing touches and over seeing every detail on the way. We have a lot of experience in helping clients make their dream become a reality. Perhaps you are looking to give yourself a little extra room by converting the garage or loft? We have a wealth of experience applying for planning permission and know exactly how to make your new space reach it’s full potential. When we hand over and you get to enjoy your new space, we already know that every detail will be just perfect. So no matter where you are in the planning process of your own project you can feel confident that we will take it on with the same dedication and attention to detail we would give our own.
With a workshop in Chawton, Hampshire, we can make bespoke hand crafted furniture and ergonomic storage solutions to fit the need of all our clients. We work with a team of interior designers and a specialist upholsterer to finish all details to the highest standard.
The big picture.
We know we all have a responsibility to look after our precious planet so all of our timber comes from sustainable sources. Using the sawmill and it’s experienced team means we can even use unprocessed materials that would have otherwise been wasted.
With a wealth of experience in living off grid we can source and fit solar panels, water collection systems and compost toilets. In fact all manner of clever things that will not only keep the cost of bills down but also mean that you are having a smaller impact on our presciousplanet.
With clever design you will be surprised how efficient a small build can be. Any garden can accommodate an office when you know how best to use the space. Not only does this push design to be both useful and beautiful but it means we can minimise our footprint.
“We had our offices refurbished by the team. Jai’s design and workmanship really was second to none. We went on to have our kitchen fitted as well as a ton of custom storage cupboards and desks designed and installed. Thanks again!”
