what is timber frame

Timber frame construction is one of the best options for Builders,  Self-Builders and Developers wanting speedy build times and energy efficient homes.

Timber frame construction uses prefabricated (off-site manufacture) external and internal stud walls, floor joists and roof trusses to form the super-structure which is a complete structural frame that transfers the vertical and horizontal loads to the foundations. The timber frame structure can then be clad in brick, wood, fibre cement board, rendered or tiled which will act as the decoration for the home as well as weather protection. The external cladding would be installed on site once the prefab structure is in place.
