Building your own home is a big investment. Timber frame with English Brothers offers greater cost certainty, a faster build programme and outstanding thermal performance.
When you’re planning your dream home, keeping control of costs, timescales and energy efficiency is essential. Choosing a timber frame package from English Brothers can make a real difference to all three.
Greater Cost Certainty
With a timber frame package, much of the structure is designed, specified and manufactured before it arrives on site. This means you have a clearer understanding of the materials, specification and costs involved from an early stage, helping you plan your budget with greater confidence and reducing the uncertainty that can come with traditional construction.
A Faster Route to a Watertight Home
While foundations are being prepared, your timber frame is manufactured off-site in controlled factory conditions. Once delivered, the structure can be erected quickly, getting your home under cover and watertight sooner. This helps reduce time on site, limits exposure to the British weather and allows following trades to get started earlier.
Outstanding Thermal Performance
Timber frame provides an excellent starting point for creating an energy-efficient home. With high performance insulation options, carefully considered detailing and airtightness measures such as Gapotape, English Brothers can help you achieve impressive thermal performance, reduce heat loss and create a comfortable home with lower ongoing energy demands.
With a heritage dating back to 1844, English Brothers combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing and building methods. From the initial design through to manufacture and erection, we work closely with self-builders to deliver a timber frame package tailored to their project. We can also provide architecture and project management services to get you watertight or complete a full turn-key build. Whether you’re at the early planning stages or ready to move forward, we’d love to talk about how timber frame could work for your build.
