Timber
frame house kits
By
self building with timber frame you will have a quality house that is
built very quickly. Once you have prepared the foundations, the timber
frame can be delivered and erected. The erection service can be carried
out by yourselves but a preferred route is to get specialist contractors
to erect the frame for you.
Once
the frame is watertight (usually in about a week) the bricklayers or
stonemasons can start the building of the outside walls, this could be
timber cladding, brick, natural stone, render etc. At the same time the
inside work can also be started, electricians, joiners, plumbers etc.
Energy
Efficient Homes
The
building regulations are getting harder to comply with for some house
manufacturing techniques. With timber frame kits this is no problem as a
great deal of insulation is built into the house kit as standard. If so
desired extra insulation can be added, this is the flexible design
characteristics of timber frame.

Self Build Timber Frame is Environment
Friendly
Timber frame construction is also
environmentally friendly. Raw materials are drawn from renewable resources
and not virgin forest. Timber is a natural, non-toxic, organic,
recyclable, renewable and
bio-degradable material. Energy consumption in buildings account for 50%
of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions. Very little energy is consumed in
the manufacture of a timber frame building.
