Timber Frame Embrace modern methods of construction Modern methods of Timber frame construction offer a high-quality solution to the many housing and construction challenges within the UK’s developing architectural market. As one of the leading modern methods of construction, timber frame has grown consistently year on year. It’s regarded as a means of achieving higher quality, reducing time spent on-site, increasing safety and overcoming skills shortages in the industry, and will play a vital role in the creation of 200,000 homes in sustainable communities by 2016. Building for the future Construction through the 20th Century focused on brick, block, concrete and plaster all of which were reliant on aggregates and water. Replenishable components were not widely recognized or sought. Ever decreasing build programs and more volatile weather conditions forced construction sites into more labour and plant resources, constantly increasing the carbon footprint. Now is the time to change our build methods - · Use more effective materials · Reduce waste · Speed up housing creation · Raise the bar on standards of traditional design and build quality · Lower resource consumption · Embrace the ‘Egan agenda’ Flexible design to meet every challenge - There is a timber frame system to suit every modern method of construction category, including open panel, closed panel, volumetric, hybrid systems and SIPs. Fast and precise With developments in integrated computer design, engineering and manufacturing systems, the frame of the building is produced quickly and accurately within the controlled environment of a modern factory. Cost-effective Timber frame is a modern method of construction which gives you efficiency savings at every step. With a fixed priced and timelines, it eradicates the possibility of ever increasing sub-contractor costs. Practical and predictable Technology enables architects and manufacturers to stay in touch throughout the design process. This online dialogue throughout the early modern method of construction stages means potential problems are dealt with before they arise on-site.
The fact that large chunks of the building are created off-site means that your schedule is also less vulnerable to external influences like bad weather, helping you to keep every project bang on schedule |
