[/url] Thanks for the suggestion; i've sent them some quote requests. I'll post up the results when i get them.

This sounds like a great idea and feasible as i am in no particular hurry. I shall definitely investigate this if, as seems likely, aluminium fabrication is too expensive. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks i'll post up how it all develops over the next few years. My pot of gold is small (certainly smaller than 70k for some window frames anyway!) So the posts may dry up when the real world gets back to me with a quote :) .. I have a fair amount of free time and am a quick learner and have...

lol. Planning guy said something similar :)

Thanks for the advice. Yes i shall definitely not be doing anything until the whole project is thoroughly priced and i have planning permission and a comprehensive build plan. i was hoping i could do the frames for less than 10k but that was based on hope and not on any facts whatsoever. I...

Is that what you estimate just the window frame fabrication might cost? I hope not, or this will be a very short project indeed.

Thanks for the advice. I'm open to any suggestions for the window frame material. probably what ever is cheapest. I'll do as you suggest and contact some local metal fabricators. The building is planned to be constructed from ferrocement (building method popular on continent and USA but rare...

Thanks. When they'd stopped laughing they were surprisingly constructive actually. As it's in a back garden and not visible by the general public the only real issue is neighbours and shadow, which is okay as both neighbours have just built extensions out to the same distance. They said there...

I'm planning an extension which i hope to do as a part self build project. It's a very ambitious project requiring the fabrication of custom shaped window frames and the use of the slightly obscure ferrocement build method, ( steel wire / rebar structure impregnated with a ferrocement mix)...

I'm planning an extension which i hope to do as a part self build project. Its very ambitious and involves the fabrication of custom shaped window frames. Does any one know any companies that fabricate custom shaped windows? They are very irregular shapes as illustrated in the attached images...
