    The benefits of
    timber-frame houses

    • A beautiful outlook.

      Modern timber-framed houses are designed to offer an exceptional living experience. High ceilings, exposed beams, and open-plan layouts provide a visually stunning and spacious environment that enhances your home’s character.

    • Easy fit-out process.

      A timber construction home simplifies the installation of plumbing and electrics. Once the frame is in place, these essential systems can be easily integrated, making the build process efficient and hassle-free.

    • Quick construction.

      One of the key advantages of prefabricated timber homes is their rapid assembly. In just a week or two, the frame can be erected, wrapped, and watertight, allowing for seamless installation of windows, doors, and roofing.

    • A choice of cladding.

      Your timber frame house design can be customised with various cladding options, balancing aesthetics and insulation. Whether you prefer solid wood or fibre cement, you can create a finish that complements your style.

    • The option of oak.

      Oak can be incorporated into your build for a timeless and traditional touch. As experienced timber frame builders, we offer bespoke oak joinery that adds warmth, durability, and a classic English charm to your home.
