Timber framed / element houses

The fastest solution for home seekers.

 

Timber framed house is one of the most flexible structural solutions for planning the layout of rooms and designing interior and exterior finishes.

 

why choose timber framed house?

  • First and foremost, the short construction time, as well as the overall financial and time costs.
  • Timber framed houses are one of the most flexible structural solutions for planning the layout of rooms and designing interior and exterior finishes. Although they are built with materials that are kind to your health and the environment, timber framed houses do not have the same qualities as log houses.
fastest solution for home seekers

For those who want to enjoy a comfortable and eco-friendly life here and now – timber frame houses. A timber frame house takes a couple of months to build and assemble, and the whole construction process takes no more than one season.

We specialize in crafting bespoke timber-framed houses tailored to your vision. Combining unique designs with precision engineering, we ensure every detail meets your requirements. Our adaptable approach allows for personalized materials and finishes, creating a home that is both distinctive and energy-efficient.

The manufacturing process for Scandinavian hand-made log houses involves skilled craftsmen who shape each log individually, following traditional methods that highlight the wood’s natural features. This hands-on approach is time-intensive but results in a unique, artisanal finish. In contrast, machine-made log houses use automated processes to produce uniform logs quickly and in large quantities, prioritizing speed and consistency over individual craftsmanship.

precision, quality, durability and long-term

We have extensive experience constructing various types of buildings, including homes, apartments, cabins, garden offices, using the timber frame method. When bringing bespoke designs to life, we prioritize both the distinctive exterior appearance and adherence to specific requirements and material standards.

technology for the production of frame/element houses

Framed houses (element) are built from factory-prepared wall panels with internal and external finishes. A detailed drawing is made for each of the wall segments before production begins. The exterior wall segments are manufactured using external finishes, wind insulation, insulation, cut-out vents, door and window openings with trim. At the customer’s request, internal wall segments can also be produced with the finish of his choice. The completed wall assembly is transported to the construction site and assembled on the foundations within an average of three days.

Easy installation and placement of windows and doors considerably speeds up the construction of the house, avoiding the effects of precipitation on the quality of the construction.

F A Q

What is the difference between a traditional post & beam house and a modular/element timber frame house?

When fully built you will not see a difference between the post & beam timber frame house and modular element type. The only difference is the way this timber frame house is built. With post & beam, the frame is usually built on-site putting a frame from posts and beams. With modular element construction, we prefabricate wall sections (up to 13m/32ft in length) with all external layers, fully insulated and some internal layers. Also, in most cases, windows are already installed during manufacture. These prefabricated wall elements are then delivered to the site and assembled in 2-3 days!

The wall layers that are a part of the prefabricated wall element delivered to the site are:

  • External wooden panel;
  • Vertical battens for air gap with rodent barrier;
  • Windproof membrane;
  • Windproof plasterboard;
  • Timber frame;
  • Windows;
  • Thermal insulation between the frame studs;
  • Vapor barrier;
  • 45mm wooden battens for wire and pipe installation;

The rest internal layers mounted on site:

  • Thermal insulation between the wooden battens;
  • Internal plasterboard;

It is important to check the content of the offer given by different manufacturers and compare not only its price. Some manufacturers include more materials, work, or services in their package than others. For example, not all manufacturers in their kit include windows and doors, exterior finishing boards, trims, final roof layer, rain gutter system, and interior layers. Another tip, factory work will always be cheaper than work on a construction site, so try to get as much work as possible done at the manufacturer’s factory.

Everyone understands that the house warmth is preserved by the thermal insulation in its walls and roof. It is important to insulate a house according to today’s energy requirements. However, the airtightness shall not be overlooked. Even the slightest crack will allow cold wind to enter the room, thus reducing its internal temperature. It is estimated that increasing the thermal insulation layer of the walls from 10cm to 20cm saves only 3% of heat. For this reason, it is worth investing in the tightness of the house rather than an extra layer of insulation.

The prefabricated modular timber frame house is most often built in these main stages:

The initial cost of a house kit is estimated according to the house sketches (if available)

  1. The full set of house drawings are prepared and house designed with an architect;
  2. The detailed offer is prepared according to the final set;
  3. Building permits are received;
  4. Technical and production drawings are prepared;
  5. The elements are produced;
  6. Groundwork and foundation takes place on-site;
  7. Drainage is installed;
  8. Assembly of elements take place on-site;
  9. The roof is assembled;
  10. Windows are installed (if they were not already in the elements for delivery);
  11. Electricity, plumbing, ventilation, etc are installed;
  12. The final parts of the facade are mounted (corner trims, soffit boards, verge boards, rain gutters, etc).
  13. Insulation between the internal battens and plasterboard is fixed;
  14. Final cosmetic finish (plastering, painting, tiles, etc.) takes place;
  15. Installation of internal equipment, installation of furniture
  16. Landscape works take place;

We use high-class calibrated C24 conifer construction timber in the production of our houses.

Structural wood must not exceed 18-20% moisture. When building a house, it is very important to protect the wood used for the frame from rain to reduce the potential deformation of the house. With panel technology, it is ensured that the wood will not receive additional moisture as production takes place under the roof. If you’re building a frame house from studs on a construction site, make sure you protect your wood by covering it with polyethylene film.

Impregnation of frame wood is not mandatory. It’s everyone’s choice. We follow the principles of Scandinavian construction, most of which are frame houses, and they do not impregnate the wood of their house frame. If viewed in practice, impregnation would improve the fire and frame strength properties, extending the life of the home. However, there is no stain that will completely stop the fire, and even with no treatment, the wooden house will stand for a long time with no risks. Impregnated structural timber will be more expensive.
