Yes, it is just as easy to add an extension to a timber frame or structural insulated panel (SIPs) build as any other method of construction.

This varies depending on the size of the build, typically 80-100m² per week is constructed. An average home can be erected onsite in as little as 2-3 weeks.
 

We will only build the timber structure and supply the insulation pack; we do not offer a turnkey solution. We do now take builds to a weathertight stage which will enable your internal works to begin much sooner. Often, we can put you in touch with project managers and builders, depending on your location.

Most of our whitewood is from Scandinavia and some from Eastern Europe and Canada. Our Douglas Fir is also from Canada.
 

The costs of timber-frame builds are very similar to other methods of construction. There are multiple benefits associated with building with timber frames, one being the time saved during construction. Faster build times reduce site preliminary and labour costs. Timber is a sustainable method of construction and offsite manufacture means your new home is delivered right to site, first time. 

We are also happy to help you compare other quotes to ours to assist you in understanding any differences around inclusions and exclusions. We also offer a transparent quoting service.

This depends on a lot of factors, not least location, specification, and size of build to name a few factors. Generally, a self builder can expect to spend around £1,500 per m².

If you do require any architectural support then please get in touch and we can refer you to the relevant team within Potton.
