The benefits of timber frame
Not only is timber lightweight, durable and strong, but it offers faster construction than masonry builds.
Prefabricated panels can be prepared off-site and away from the impact of poor weather or bricklayer shortages, reducing the time it takes to build a house by 25%. This suits developers as building schedules are less likely to be affected by delays and therefore it’s quicker to get a house to market.
Timber is also known for its environmental excellence, offering excellent thermal performance and the lowest embodied Co2 of any building material, as well as being the most sustainable form of construction.
