Questions often asked about timber frame kits:
  1. - Question: Are timber frame kits quick to erect?
  2. - Answer: Yes, timber frame kits are very quick to site erect. If it is a timber frame kit house, it will normally be erected on site in 2-4 weeks. Timber frame kits for schools and timber frame flats or timber frame apartments take a little longer.

  3. - Question: Do we sell Oak timber frames?
  4. - Answer: Yes we do sell Oak timber frames through our partners at "The Timber Frame Company" based in Somerton, Somerset.

  5. - Question: Do we deal with insulation for timber frame buildings?
  6. - Answer: Yes we do deal with insulation for timber frame buildings with Excel Industries who supply Warmcel Insulation which gets pumped or sprayed into the timber frame panelised construction.

  7. - Question: Do we have a large timber frame manufacturing facility?
  8. - Answer: Yes we do have a large timber frame manufacturing facility based in Water Lane, Exeter. We have factory fabricated over 1000 timber frame kits from this offsite manufacture facility.

  9. - Question: Is your timber from renewable or sustainable resources?
  10. - Answer: Yes our timber is from renewable or sustainable resources and full chain of custody data is available. All of the timber / lumber used in the timber frame construction comes from registered sustainable timber suppliers.

  11. - Question: Do we do timber frame extensions?
  12. - Answer: We do timber frame extensions but normally it is only cost efficient for the larger projects. However sometimes the Clients Architect will specify timber frame in the cases where they are constructing first floor extensions. Timber frame construction is very favourable because it will be a light weight solution.

  13. - Question: Is a timber frame building strong enough?
  14. - Answer: Timber frame buildings are very strong because the timber frame components connect together very efficiently and the total construction works together as an engineered structure. The timber frame components used range from plywood and glulam to steel. These are all very robust timber products.

  15. - Question: Do you supply anything other than the timber frame kit?
  16. - Answer: We feel that we are best suited to adhering to what we do best which is the supply of good quality timber frame kits.

  17. - Question: Can you erect your timber frame kits?
  18. - Answer: Yes we can supply a team of highly skilled erectors to erect your timber frame kit.

  19. - Question: Do you supply timber frame structures to self builders?
  20. - Answer: Self builders or self erectors form a larger part or our Client base. We are happy to supply the timber frame materials or timber frame components necessary to construct a timber frame house or timber frame flats. We are also happy to deliver timber frame kits or self assembly kits to self builders. Often self build project managers will manage the erection of the timber frame kit.

  21. - Question: How big does the access have to be to get a timber frame package delivered?
  22. - Answer: We pride ourselves on being able to deliver timber frame kits or timber frame components whether it is a timber frame house or a timber frame bungalow or a timber frame block of flats to most locations. We use small lorries with hiab offload facility so the timber frame package always gets onto site.
