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.
- Question: Is a timber frame building strong enough?

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.

to self builders. Often self build project managers will manage the erection
of the timber frame kit.
