The Benefits of Timber Frame Homes

Accurate & Safe Engineering

Modular timber frame homes are manufactured indoor in controlled factories, ensuring that they will never be exposed to weather damage, and are highly accurate engineered products. All the materials used to build your home are also stored secure and safe from damage from the elements. ​

More Robust

Our timber frame homes arrive to site in fully finished sections. Since they have to endure transportation and fitting, they are built stronger than the UK domestic regulations require. Manufacturing off-site makes timber frame particularly optimal for remote sites where on-site construction would cause a lot of delays, and also for sites where ground conditions would not permit a heavier form of construction.

Speedy Build

Over 90% of the building work happens off-site in our factory, with all the trades working together at the same time. Typical factory build time is 14-18 weeks, and typical on-site fitting time is 3 days.
The building process is radically shortened and the on-site labour and groundwork can be arranged and managed smoothly within that same time frame. This provides reduced on-site activity and site management, radically reducing your cost. All our homes are built on a fixed price contract, so there are no "surprise extra expenses". ​

Highly Insulated

We pride ourselves on building homes that are financially smart to purchase and to run! Our standard level of insulation make our homes marginally more energy efficient than current UK Domestic Building Regulations require. Our houses are economic to run, with fast heat-up time and retaining heat longer.

Lifespan
​Compared to other types of modern construction, timber frame homes are just as long lasting, durable and strong. It will easily last the 60 years plus which is the requirement of institutions such as insurers and building societies and lenders.

Straightforward Finance

Timber frame construction is recognised by building societies, banks and insurance companies for lending purposes. Indeed, many lenders offer stage payment schemes specially designed for self-builders.

Gorgeous Homes

Timber frame construction can be used for almost any type of house design - from cosy bungalows to multi story houses, villas and flats - and can be claded in a range of standard finishes.
