Why Choose Timber Frame Construction?
  • 01. Speed
    • Faster construction than masonry builds.
    • The impact of weather is reduced.
    • Construction doesn’t need to stop during rain, frost and snow. Builds can be water tight in days, rather than weeks or months.
    • No drying out period.
    • Spreads site labour across multiple labour pools.
  • 02. Cost
    • Saving in construction costs and operational costs, helping to save money in the long run.
    • Reduced overheads.
    • Rental income streams start earlier.
