Why Choose Timber Frame?

Why Choose Timber Frame?

A growing number of customers recognise the benefits of using timber frame. In Scotland, timber frame accounts for 83% of the housing market, and almost 23% of new homes in England are timber frame – a market share that is set to grow in the future.

Offsite timber frame construction allows homes to be built faster and to a higher sustainability standard compared with traditional construction methods, making them more cost-effective to build and live in.
