Timber Frame
Self build
The quickest and most
cost effective way of building is to use a timber frame. Usually the timber
frame will be erected and watertight within a week, so while the bricklayers are
building the outside walls the tradesmen can be working inside installing the
services. The energy efficiency of timber frame is very high, which is much
needed these days because of strict building regulations. The accuracy of timber
frame panels is very high because they are produced in a workshop environment.
