The advantages of
timber frame homes
The biggest advantage of timber frame homes is that they are very energy efficient when compared with other construction methods. The use of large timber frames reduces the rate of temperature exchange between the indoors and outdoors. Also, timber framed homes use Salt Dough Ornaments Structural Insulated Panels. These are basically large spaces of air between timber panels that act as efficient insulation units.
Another advantage of timber frame buildings is the long lifespan that can be expected. Using modern construction methods, we are confident that our timber frame home will last up to 200 years. That’s because the natural timber material is very strong.
Finally, timber frame homes are aesthetically superior to most other types of homes. The wooden appearance of a home can have a lot of character, and that’s especially true in a countryside setting.
Cost-saving
construction methods
Relatively speaking building a timber frame home will cost less than with other construction methods. For example, the speed of construction will be around 30% faster. This means fewer labour costs will be incurred. One of the reasons why construction is faster is because a timber-based structure can be weathertight in as few as 5 days. That means electricians and plumbers can begin working on the home sooner rather than later.
Also, less wastage of materials will occur meaning fewer material costs. Since the budget for the materials is lower, you might allow yourself some additional “finishing touches” to complete your new home.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average cost of hiring a timber frame contractor?
The cost of hiring a timber frame contractor in the UK varies depending on the size and complexity of the project. Timber frame construction can range from £1,500 to £2,500 per square metre. Customisation, design services, and site conditions may affect final pricing, so requesting a tailored quotation is best.
How do I find a reputable timber frame contractor near me?
Look for contractors with positive customer reviews, completed projects you can view, and membership with industry bodies. Recommendations, online directories, and local building networks can also help. Ensure they are experienced in timber framing a mobile home and offer a detailed written quote.
What services do timber frame contractors typically offer?
Timber frame contractors usually provide design consultation, prefabrication, site delivery, on-site assembly, and installation. Many also offer joinery, roof truss construction, floor framing, and energy-efficient solutions such as passive house options.
Can timber frame contractors build custom homes?
Yes, most timber frame contractors specialise in bespoke timber homes. They work closely with clients and architects to tailor designs to specific requirements, ensuring your home reflects your style and suits the local environment.
Do timber frame contractors provide installation services?
Absolutely. Professional contractors manage the installation process, from erecting the timber frame to coordinating with other trades, such as plumbing and electrical teams. This ensures a seamless, efficient build.
What is the difference between timber frame and conventional framing?
Timber frame construction uses large wooden beams for structural support, offering greater strength, design flexibility, and energy efficiency. Conventional framing (brick-and-block) is slower and often less environmentally friendly. Timber frames are also faster to erect and provide better insulation when paired with SIPs.
How long does a timber frame construction project take?
Timber frame projects are known for their speed. A typical timber frame home can be weathertight in under 5–7 days, with full project completion in 10 to 16 weeks, depending on the design, size, and interior requirements.
Are timber frame contractors licensed and insured?
Reputable timber frame contractors in the UK are fully insured and often members of trade associations. Always confirm they carry public and employer liability insurance and that their team includes qualified professionals.
Can I DIY a timber frame project, or need a contractor?
While DIY timber framing is possible for small garden buildings or sheds, full-scale homes require the expertise, equipment, and safety compliance only a professional contractor can provide. It’s advisable to hire experienced timber frame builders for structural projects.
What are the advantages of using a timber frame contractor?
Timber frame contractors bring technical knowledge, precision, and access to high-quality materials. Their methods result in cost-effective, eco-friendly, and faster builds. They also handle planning, fabrication, and coordination, making the whole process stress-free and reliable.
