If you are considering using an engineered building system for your next building project
please consider the following points.
-
design freedom - All BuildaKit timber frame and structural insulated panel systems offer building designers great flexibility in design. Our
structural kits can be adapted to almost any building form including large open
spans, vaulted ceilings, large openings and room in the roof.
-
sustainability - All BuildaKit timber frame and structural insulated panel products are very sustainable not only in the materials used and manufacturing processes but also in the
performance of the finished product once constructed. The u-values of all our wall and roof frame products far exceed current building regulations
and are proven to dramatically reduce energy consumption due to their superior levels of insulation and air tightness. When using any of our
products you can be assured of maximum points towards the Code for Sustainable Homes.
-
speed of construction - All BuildaKit structural insulated panel and timber frame kits are quick and easy to erect. As a result of factory prefabrication,
time spent on site can be dramatically reduced. This can be particularly useful where a project has time constraints such as contracts to be
carried out within school holidays. A shorter build programme can dramatically reduce on site costs such as welfare facilities,
scaffold and plant hire. Further time savings can be achieved by roofing the shell prior to the external masonry work being completed.
This will allow works on the interior to continue whilst the external cladding is being completed, ensuring that your programme will be unaffected by the
weather conditions, whatever they may be.
-
clean, dry construction - All BuildaKit structural insulated panel and timber frame kits are constructed using a process that uses virtually no water. This process together with
high levels of prefabrication and short on site construction programmes ensure that, once constructed your building will have remained clean and as
dry as the weather during construction permits. Virtually no waste products are left over from the construction process saving on site waste management costs.
A dry interior ensures that maintenance defects are kept to a minimum and unlike traditional forms of construction, differential movement between materials
will be greatly reduced.
