Benefits of Timber Frame for Building And Construction

The Developers Dozen.

Twelve serious reasons for the private builder and the construction industry to choose Timber Frame are:

1. Quick to erect – reduces capital lock up.

2. Lightweight – can be used on brownfield sites/sites with difficult land conditions.

3. Modular components are easy to transport.

4. Engineered components, built to recognised quality assured standards, reduce the need for site skills.

5. Dry – gives a clean site and it’s quick to decorate.

6. Craning – can be craned in for tight inner city sites.

7. Prefabricated – strict quality control, fewer post erection quality/ snagging problems.

8. Design responsive – can go to 6 storeys.

9. Superior sound performance, meeting all new regulations.

10. Modular approach – excellent for volume build, social /student etc housing and hotels.

11. Completed buildings can be clad in any standard finish – stone, brick, render, tile etc. giving maximum “kerb appeal.”

12. Sustainable construction – responds to the environmental agenda of many partnership projects and social housing procurers.
