Timber-framed homes have a number of advantages:
Quick to build – the timber frame is manufactured off-site, so can be erected quickly.
Eco-friendly – materials are often sustainably sourced and readily available. Timber is a renewable material and produces far less CO2 than brick or concrete. It absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere and stores it, helping cut the greenhouse effect.
Energy-efficient – timber is a natural insulator, so your home will heat more quickly and you’ll use less energy.
More predictable build costs – pre-built homes can offer more price certainty because factory costs tend to fluctuate less than building on-site.
