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.

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.

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.

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

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.
• Look at the benefits of Passivhaus here

Flexible Design

• A host of different products to meet structural and visual requirements.
• Lighter construction for foundations can benefit poor ground conditions, which may limit building materials.
