A Long-Standing Relationship

At Sydenhams Timber Engineering, strong working relationships have always been important to us. One that has truly stood the test of time is our partnership with Custom-Built of Westbury Ltd, which this year reaches an incredible 20 years.

It was back in 2005 when we first had an enquiry from a company in Wiltshire called Custom-Built of Westbury. Little did we know at the time that it would be the beginning of a long-standing relationship, working together on a wide range of homes—from semi-detached townhouses and award-winning developments to bespoke multi-million-pound properties.

Setting the Standard

The first houses we designed were for Adam Jones, CEO of Custom-Built, which he still proudly lives in today. That project set the tone for exactly how we would work together: with a strong focus on quality, clear communication and a shared approach to tackling challenges.

Since then, Custom-Built has delivered more than 50 timber frame homes with our support. From smaller developments to luxury homes, the partnership has continued to evolve alongside changes in the industry, with both teams eagerly embracing new materials and methods while keeping quality at the heart of every build.

The BRAC Development and Beyond

A recent highlight is The BRAC development, a project that perfectly captures how both businesses have grown. It brings together thoughtful design, carefully engineered timber frames and a commitment to building for the long term. Looking ahead, we are proud to be supporting Custom-Built with their latest collection of luxury homes at a site in Crockerton.

Reflecting on the milestone, Dean Orchard, Managing Director at Sydenhams Timber Engineering, said:

“When we first started working with Adam and the team at Custom-Built, none of us could have known how well the relationship would grow. Over the years, it’s been built on trust, shared standards and a genuine willingness to work through challenges together. It’s something we’re very proud of, and we’re looking forward to seeing where the next chapter takes us.”

Looking to the Future

We are incredibly proud to have played a part in Custom-Built’s journey over the past two decades. Adam Jones and his team have always kept quality at the centre of their work, embracing new materials and techniques as the industry has evolved. It has been an absolute pleasure working alongside them, and we look forward to continuing to do so in the years ahead!
