TIMBER FRAME

Timber frame construction is a popular and modern method of building a new home or other various types of structures.
It is estimated that close to 30% of all new housing in the UK is now constructed using timber frames.
From inception, Frametech can assist you with the procurement of your bespoke build. We are able to recommend and partner with a suitable timber frame manufacturer to design, engineer and deliver your timber frame kit to site.

Once the manufacturing process has been completed we will undertake all the necessary arrangements for a smooth and efficient build on-site. This process will evolve from soleplate up to the completion of wall panels, floors and roof structures ready for weather tightness.
We have established ourselves as one of Essex’s leading timber frame installation companies. We are STA accredited and all of our teams are trained to install timber frames correctly, efficiently and to a high standard of workmanship.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TIMBER FRAME CONSTRUCTION?

Timber frame construction comes with a huge range of benefits for your build, many of which we have seen our clients experience time and time again. Here are just some of the advantages of designing and installing a bespoke timber frame in your construction project…

What are the benefits of timber frame structures?

30% Quicker Build Time

The speed that timber frames can be built on site far exceeds that of normal masonry construction. In most cases up to 30% quicker build times can be easily achieved

Flexible Design

Timber frames can be designed specifically to suit your requirements.

Quality Control

Timber frames are manufactured offsite within a quality-controlled factory environment. For this reason, the kit is built and erected to fine tolerances.

Thermal & Acoustic performance

The massive advantage in using timber frame construction is that the building envelope can be insulated both thermally and acoustically to the highest standards possible. This benefit will also aide you with future energy bill costs which will be minimised through the building’s life cycle.

Savings

Using timber frame versus masonry construction is typically less expensive. This is due to shorter build times, fixed budget costs and greater efficiency delivered on site by installing factory made components.

Environment

All timber used will be from renewable sources and sustainable. The build process will also result in far less material waste.
