We are one of the UK’s leading suppliers in a wide range of high performance products. Our purpose-built premises, design and manufacturing capabilities enable us to handle
large orders as well as one-off products and more unusual bespoke items.

David Smith supply and manufacture engineered timber products and associated fittings through four product divisions:

Our clients
Our clients include house builders, housing associations, commercial contractors and individuals building their own home. To provide successful solutions in complex technical areas we work alongside architects, structural engineers, surveyors and builders involved in both public and private sector projects. These include, but are not limited to, buildings such as office blocks, airports, superstores, hospitals, schools and residential developments.

Unrivalled capabilities
From our dedicated premises in St Ives, we design, manufacture and deliver technologically advanced timber products that meet our clients’ specific requirements, fulfilling engineering solutions.

Using the latest automated facilities, we can offer high levels of precision, as well as flexibility in our processes.

We achieve consistently high product standards and operate cost-effectively, which in turn benefits our clients who need to control costs while maintaining appropriate levels of quality.

Each product division is supported by its own expert design team, who use the latest CAD software to prepare technical drawings and product specifications with accuracy and
efficiency.

The design technology we use is linked to our manufacturing facility where the designs are programmed directly into specialist machinery to produce each component. The production process is managed and enhanced by the skills and craftsmanship of our people.

High level of service
We are customer-focused in everything we do. Our expert advice, attention to detail and ability to deliver bespoke timber engineered solutions is all part of our commitment to excellent service and value for money.

We will always recommend materials that are fit for the purpose, while also providing tailored timber products of the highest quality that will stand the test of time. It’s a difficult balance to strike, but with expertise and knowledge of the best products available for specific
applications, we add value by providing the optimum solution.

Our clients often need something unique that’s tailored exactly to their specifications. In these cases, our years of experience and technical knowledge of the best products for particular applications can be of real benefit.

Technical advice and support
Technical advice and practical guidance along the way is all part of the service. From the detail at specification stage, to design and manufacturing, our support is appreciated by many of our clients.

We are often involved in the planning stages of larger one-off projects or residential developments where we can add value by providing direction on the product technology
and its capabilities. Working closely with our professional clients – architects, structural engineers, surveyors, contractors and builders – ensures every aspect of the project we’re involved with is successfully completed.

Whether plans are at the drawing stage or you’re a contractor working to specified requirements, we’re always on hand to provide advice on the best products available
for the job.
