Benefits of Timber Frame Construction
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.
    • Social housing grant can be drawn down earlier, reducing interest payments on capital to fund developments.
  • 03. Performance
    • All supply and erect contracts have a dedicated contracts manager to oversee projects.
    • Acoustic performance, timber frame creates better sound insulation between rooms.
    • Thermal insulation creating lower heating bills.
    • Fire robustness, there is no greater risk of a fire occurring in a timber frame home.
  • 04. Quality

    Frames are constructed in a quality-controlled factory setting. Frames are all pre-fabricated meaning:

    • Reduced time on site
    • Reduced waste
    • Site waste has an inherent value
    • Timber waste can be mostly recycled
    • Reduced defects
    • Increased air tightness
    • Reduced quantity of site labour
    • Value Engineered method of Construction
    • We are STA Assure Gold member
  • 05. Environment
    • The timber industry successfully plants more trees than what it consumes, allowing for forestry growth.
    • Completely renewable source.
    • Carbon neutral material- lowest CO2 cost of all building materials.
