Are timber frames more costly than other construction methods?

As well as the environmental costs saved by timber construction, there are many other cost benefits. Timber frames are produced for a fixed cost based on the original design, allowing expenditure to be predicted early in any project. Their light weight construction can allow for less expensive foundations and the thermal efficiency of a timber frame building reduces the lifetime cost of operating/owning it.

Also, shorter build times allow you to stop repaying any high interest borrowing on the property sooner!
