Timber is the natural choice for constructing environmentally-aware homes and buildings of all kinds. Speed of construction and exceptional thermal efficiency are two major advantages that timber frame offers over conventional building. Modern timber frame houses are designed by structural engineers utilising advanced computerised systems. The actual timber frame is manufactured in computer-controlled factory conditions resulting in a highly accurate engineered product. The design allows for a thick layer of insulation quilting which produces exceptional thermal efficiency.
