In timber frame buildings, the basic means of support for the building are the timber frames. Timber frames even though referred to as „light-weight construction”, are remarkably strong and durable precision-engineered structures. There are many other types of timber frames available, namely advanced and closed panel systems, along with volumetric and hybrid systems. The new technology called Structural Insulated Panel (SIP) has brought about new developments in the field of timber construction. In most parts of the developed world timber frame construction, which is an engineered, quality assured, tried and tested building method, is the norm. We are confident you will be satisfied with our expert timber construction.

Before you decide to build a timber-framed structure you must be sure that you have all the information required. For a timber frame building, the inside walls are made from timber studding and the outside skin is made from some type of timber cladding: either a type of log finish, or timber boards. A true timber frame structure has huge exposed beams with handcrafted interlocking joints devoid of any nails. This was the accepted form of building until the mid 19th century when the beams were replaced with two-by-fours and stick frame construction. Strong wood such as Douglas Fir or White Pine are used to make the beams that are assembled in a frame. These are joined together with a „”mortise”” (the hole) and „”tenon”” (the tongue) and held together with wooden oak pegs. The frame is then enclosed with the help of insulation panels and two-by-four or two-by-six studded interior walls. With our expertise, your timber building will be entirely secure.

The timber frame lends itself to open plan designs and allows for complete enclosure and effective insulation for energy efficiency. It also offers various aesthetic and structural benefits. In two to three days, an average size timber frame structure can be erected and within a week to two weeks after that, the shell is ready for drying in. This means it is ready for windows, mechanical systems and roofing. Accuracy and quality of the highest level is used to engineer timber framed structures. Timber frame buildings have a track record of having fewer construction defects than others and their owners are frequently surprised by the comfort levels and the savings in their energy bills, that these constructions provide. It is by far the most environmentally-friendly way to build.
