SPEED OF CONSTRUCTION

Timber frame construction is 30% faster than brick and block – giving you a quicker return on investment, less disruption for the local community and tidier, safer and more efficient building sites.

The first and second fixing can be made inside while the exterior skin of brick or cladding is applied. Other trades can do their jobs at an earlier and predictable time with timber frame construction.

Timber frame construction results in improved supply chain integration – giving more opportunities for working in partnership, better control and project savings.

 
 

COST SAVINGS

Over 70% of people in the developed world live in timber-framed housing and, in the USA and Canada, 90% of low-rise buildings are made from timber frame. As the cost of timber frame construction is far less than brick and build it is the fastest-growing building system in the UK.

Timber frame construction can save you costs through:

  • Reduced on-site construction – up to 30% faster than conventional method
  • Less wastage of materials
  • Greater control of the construction process and project budget savings
  • Cost-effective transport of materials.
  • Using natural materials, like timber, will give improved insulation – which will also save energy costs throughout the life of the building.
