As a Group of Companies, we are passionate about the use of timber; a valuable, flexible, strong and beautiful building material, and we are proud to be the leading timber engineering construction company.


Servicing the needs of private individuals (new 'self builder' homes and extensions) as well as fellow professionals (developers, architects and local authorities) we design and build housing projects, schools, care facilities, social housing, holiday parks, hotels, hospitals and much more.


Research and Development of new and exciting timber and timber based products is pushing forward the boundaries of what can be achieved. Glulam (glued laminated timber) for example, is - size for size - stronger than steel - as well as being much more pliable and user friendly. Care in design can enable the natural warmth of the timbers used in its manufacture to enhance the quality of a building.


A Group of Award-Winning independent limited companies, Benfield ATT recognise that our true strengths lie in the knowledge and experience of our dedicated team of professionals. This is reflected in the hundreds of individually-designed buildings that have passed through our privately-owned manufacturing facility over the years.
