Timber Frame Cost Savings
Cost Savings
Building in timber frame can result in significant cost savings.
On site the average timber frame is erected in a matter of days. This means that the overall construction time is reduced. For the client this means that bank interest charges are reduced, hire costs for scaffolding, site fencing and site toilets are reduced.
The quick erection process means that internal trades can commence work without disruption and delays due to adverse weather conditions. The number of stand down days are greatly reduced as there is always something that workmen can be getting on with.
Because we are responsible for a large part of the whole build the costs to the client associated with the procurement of materials is reduced. There is also a greater certainty in costs, our quotes offer fixed prices that are not conditional on engineering or site restrictions.
Timber frame gives the client a predictable build programme. Delivery dates are set, as is the completion date, so the follow on trades can be booked knowing there will not be a slippage in the build programme. Delays in the build programme lead to added costs.
On site waste is reduced. The building site is a tidier and safer environment.
Because the timber frame is highly insulated the heating requirements are reduced and therefore the cost of the heating system can be reduced.
Timber frame design can result in reduced ground work costs. The relatively light weight of the timber frame makes it ideal for sites with poor ground conditions. For all sites the clear spans that can be achieved using engineered I joists can reduce the number of load bearing walls, thus saving money in the ground.
Timber frame is the ideal choice for site with difficult / restricted access. There are reduced costs for the time consuming man handling of materials.
