Timber Construction

Flexible, profitable timber frame solutions

Whatever the size or scale of your project, our experienced in-house design team will work closely with your architects and planners to translate their concepts into profitable timber frame solutions. OFP Timber Frame can advise you on all aspects of timber frame construction, including robust details, structural design, value engineering and specifications.

 

The benefits of timber framed housing

Fast to build, accurately engineered and energy efficient Timber frame has many advantages. As an engineered product, it forms an accurate structure, which requires minimum fitting. Factory production ensures quality control and reduces construction-related problems, resulting in considerable cost savings.

 

Frames are quick to erect. Built out of timber framework covered with structural board and protected by water-resistant membranes, they can be erected to provide a watertight shell within days. Internal work then proceeds quickly while the outside cladding is completed. The short construction time (30% faster than brick and block) keeps the building dry and reduces the problems of cracking and shrinkage associated with 'drying out' traditional masonry homes.

 

Traditional timber frame

Using computer aided design (CAD) and manufacture (CAM), timber frame buildings are constructed off-site in factory-controlled environments, ensuring high standards of build quality and engineering. This, in turn, leads to much faster build times, compared with brick and block. Nine out of ten self builders in the UK choose to construct their houses using prefabricated timber frames. The system OFP Timber Frame employ, provides lighter, longer spans allied with a more efficient installation process.

 

Structural timber

As well as a choice of design options, we can also offer you a choice of timber fabrication systems. Panel construction offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional timber frame technology, they are extremely strong, easy to erect and weatherproof. They can be used to construct walls, floors and roofs, to create incredibly energy efficient, quiet, draught free buildings.

 

Following fabrication and a series of stringent quality control checks, the finished frame is delivered to your site, ready for erection - either by our team or yours. Our experienced team can construct your timber framed home quickly, professionally and with a minimum of fuss, so you avoid the stress of having to find another contractor, obtain and compare quotations and so on.
