FAQ’s

    1. Speed of construction - on average a single story building takes a maximum of 6 months to construct out of timber compared to 12 months with other build methods

    2. Better thermal performance: Timber frame structures can achieve better thermal performance than masonry structures with thinner construction.

    3. More floor space than a double brick construction

    4. Durability: Timber framing is strong and durable, providing unmatched durability compared to conventional builds. The natural adjustment of the foundation can cause less damage to the structure, making it more resistant to earthquakes and other natural disasters.

    5. Predictable costs and construction quality: Timber frame system-build techniques provide predictable costs, technical specifications, and construction quality, with reliable on-site schedules.

    6. Unique architectural design: Timber framing allows for unique architectural designs, as the heavy timbers can be used to create elaborate joinery and interesting shapes.

    7. Sustainable and eco-friendly: Timber framing is a sustainable and eco-friendly construction method, as wood is a renewable resource that can be responsibly sourced. Additionally, timber framing produces less waste than other construction methods.

  • No more than 6 months for a single story and 10 months for a double story.

  • Extremely - you will struggle to find a timber frame home that doesn't meet 6 star energy rating.

  • Absolutely

  • Treated Pine - LVL's

  • Very similar however Pre fabricated Timber Trusses leads to less wastage on site and quicker build times - Lucky we do both!

  • The lifespan of a timber frame structure can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of the timber used, construction techniques, and proper maintenance. With the appropriate preparation, construction methods, and regular maintenance, a timber home can last for more than 200 years.

  • Yes, far easier to accommodate than other methods of construction.

  • Slightly cheaper however it depends on the building itself and its inclusions, however like for like yes they are cheaper.

  • This really depends on the cladding the client chooses however in all our home designs we put acoustic insulation into our internal and external walls, we have never had a complaint about this!

  • No

  • If the correct termite treatment isn’t provided by the builder it will need termite sprays every 2 years however with CC WEST we use the very best materials for this and we give our clients a 50 year termite and pest warranty.

  • Absolutely in fact in certain parts of WA where there is cyclones, local governments will only allow timber frame construction not Double brick for safety reasons.

  • Yes, there are several environmental benefits associated with timber frame construction. Using timber as the primary structural support reduces the carbon footprint of the construction process. Timber is also a renewable resource, making it a sustainable option. Compared to other construction methods, timber frame construction is more energy-efficient, which can help reduce the overall energy consumption of the building. Additionally, timber frame construction requires less energy to produce than other materials such as concrete or steel.
