Why choose timber frame?
Speed
- Rapid construction time compared to masonry builds.
- The impact of weather on construction is reduced
- Installation can continue during rain, frost and snow.
- Depending on complexity builds can typically be water tight in days, rather than weeks or months.
- No overlapping of trades to complete superstructure
- No drying out period.
Cost
- Reduced Construction and operating costs are achieved due to an overall increase in build time which helps save long-term
- Reduced overheads due to the speed of build
- Rental income streams begin earlier due to overall reduced construction time.
- Social housing grants can be used sooner, minimizing the amount of interest you pay on capital to finance developments.
Performance
- All supply and erect builds will have a dedicated contracts/project manager to oversee your build.
- Unrivalled acoustic performance, creating better sound insulation between rooms to create a quiet home and peaceful home.
- Superior thermal performance meaning a warmer home in the winter without the added cost and a cooler home in the summer.
- It has been shown that in a timber frame building, there is no increased risk of a fire.
Quality
- Frames are manufactured in a quality-controlled factory setting and are all pre fabricated meaning:
- Reduced time on site
- Increased build time
- Reduced defects
- Increased air tightness
- Reduced quantity of site labour
- Value Engineered method of Construction
Environment
- The timber industry succeeds in planting more trees than it consumes, which enables forestry growth making it the most sustainable choice for building
- Completely natural product and renewable source.
- Carbon neutral material- lowest CO2 cost of all building materials.
- Reduced waste- saves time & money and lessens carbon footprint
- Any waste can be re-cycled
Flexible Design
- A vast array of different products and systems to meet structural and visual requirements
- Lighter foundations are needed due to decreased building weight which can benefit poor ground conditions
