Incorporating oak elements into traditional remodel

[Tbest88]

We are looking to do a remodel of a 1930’s bungalow and want to incorporate oak decorative elements (glazed panels, siding, barge boards and roofing elements as well as a traditional build extension). At the design stage are we best to work with an oak specialist or a regular architect? And then, at the build stage, how do we procure the oak elements and can a general contractor normally install them?

Thanks in advance for any advice!

It will be very difficult to get anyone to quote for that other than specialists - if you can find them - who will charge a lot. Have you considered oak effect plastic? Timber merchants and online suppliers sell oak doors, louis oak veneered doors are nice and at a good price atm.
