Lapa Construction

The traditional Lapa is a unique and beautiful structure which will be built by our dedicated team on-site at your location.

The Lapa Company remains the only UK provider of these timber framed buildings, and this reflects our years of experience and expertise. Each Lapa is crowned with a fully thatched roof and this centuries old technique provides a watertight structure using sustainable water reed. You can learn more about the skills and materials required to complete these beautiful buildings on our Thatching and Workshop pages.

Our highly skilled teams can also carry out any landscaping, decking and building works required for your personal design during the course of your Lapa construction.
 

Project Management

Each project is managed by an experienced team from our Kent workshops.

As each Lapa is unique we visit your environment for a site survey and to discuss your requirements in the early stages of your enquiry. We can then prepare specific Lapa building plans for your project as Lapas can be constructed in any shape or size with numerous design features.

Timber

To ensure the strength of these structures, Lapa construction is completed with a 100% timber frame. This natural product looks fantastic and accurately recreates structures found in South Africa. For added authenticity we use sustainably grown Natural Hardwood Poles, their rustic finish is what makes the Lapa feel so special.

All of our timber is treated with Tanalith E wood preservative to provide long lasting protection against the elements.
