Explore the benefits of
timber frame construction

Timber frame is one of the most technologically advanced and sustainable forms of construction available in the world today. It ensures a high quality product, reduces overall build costs and shortens the duration of build programmes. 70% of the developed world’s population live in timber frame houses.

In the UK, timber frame is on the increase, as house-builders and developers recognise the advantages in off-site construction.

WHY CHOOSE TIMBER FRAME:

• Not weather dependent
• Quality of finished goods assured & factory checked
• Predictable build programme
• Quicker return on investment
• Lightweight structures – often savings in foundations
• Sustainable materials
• Modern method of construction
• Guaranteed manufacturing consistency and product quality
• Reduction in ‘design lead-in’ time to manufacture commencing
• Less risk of design related errors
• Consistent approach to detailing and obtaining approvals
• Ease of service installation with service voids
• Suited to standard off the shelf materials for follow on trades, i.e. minimal plasterboard and brickwork cutting which in turn reduces waste
• Reduced costs
