ADVANTAGES OF BUILDING A TIMBER HOME

•Insulation – and therefore energy costs. Perhaps not yet such a huge issue, but with a potential electricity hike of around 16% for the next 5 years at this stage, it soon will be
•Natural Home – many clients chose to build a timber home because they want a more natural home, that better fits into it’s environment – something that feels good. Perhaps they feel that connection to wood. The same applies to beach resorts, and lodges in nature reserves
•Ease of construction and time to construct – it takes significantly less time to build a timber home than a similar brick & mortar home. It’s also easier to alter or add on to at a later stage – and a lot less messy.
•Difficult & Sensitive sites – due to using relatively lightweight materials, timber homes are ideal for difficult to access sites – where getting timber there is pretty easy compared to bricks. For sensitive sites timber construction also allows one to nestle right in between the existing vegetation with minimum disturbance. There are also cost savings on steeps sites, by using suspended floor structures
•Higher floor area to building area ratio – as the walls are a lot narrow than for masonry construction, you get an extra sq.m of floor area for every 7 RM of external wall – which can also be valuable on small sites. And should be considered when comparing square meter rates
