Benefiting Builders

• Reduced project cost - greater predictability, better control, faster pace leading to lower project cost.
  
• Faster build - 30% shorter construction time than brick and block.
  
• Faster return on investment.
  
• Single supplier sourcing for the entire superstructure saves time and effort in purchasing and accounts.

Flexible design. Suitable for many different building types and layouts, the timber frame method accommodates a wide range of external finishes and claddings. Minimal neighbourhood disruption. Not weather dependent - a typical house can be weather tight in less than 5 days. Brickwork is removed from the critical path - other trades will be working before the brickwork is complete.

• Reduced drying-out time - internal finishing can be completed sooner.
  
• Better build quality - each unit is an engineered solution with the consistency and accuracy of CAD/CAM factory technology. - less dependency on site skills - lower call back costs.
  
• Improved safety on site, as crane lifting is used instead of manual handling.
  
• Reduced waste. Structural materials are factory prepared so there is less need for excess material on site, reducing waste and loss through theft and creating a tidier, safer site.
