This development of nine dwellings in Harwich, Essex, is ongoing for an existing client. The site features six detached houses and a terrace block of three.

Starting at the back of the site, we have installed two plots simultaneously to speed up installation and utilise the crane’s use. In addition, the client on this project has an excellent understanding of timber frame building processes. As soon as we complete work on one plot, the follow-on trades can move in immediately to make them watertight. This keeps the build programme running with tight timescales in mind.

Size: Range from 100-200 m sq
Timber frame construction time: approx. 3 weeks per pair

We constructed the timber frames for these two bungalows for an existing client in August 2022.

They are part of a larger development of bungalows and are well-proportioned to provide three bedrooms, a bathroom, an en-suite, a kitchen and a utility room.

With an install time of just one week each, the bungalows lend themselves very well to timber frame construction. The repeat designs make them cost-effective and quick to hand over to follow on trades.

Size: 110m2
Timber frame construction time: 1 week each

This small but spacious detached chalet-style timber frame bungalow was constructed in August 2021.

It was manufactured with pre-insulated 140mm panels and features a hand-cut roof with dormers.

The entire first floor of this project accommodated a master bedroom, with a further bedroom on the ground floor and an open plan living, kitchen, dining and study area.

Timber frame construction time: 2 weeks

We were delighted to work with Bonnex Ltd on this timber frame project at Gore Green Farm in Higham, Kent.

The curtilage-listed farmhouse boasts vaulted ceilings in the kitchen, entrance hall and master bedroom with an integrated oak frame double carport.

The timber frame has created a stunning, large and light three-bed detached bungalow over 250sqm floor space.

Timber frame construction is a modern approach to the traditional timber farmhouse, offering warmth, comfort and versatility in a spacious family home that can be adapted over time as family needs change. It’s also an environmentally responsible approach – an important consideration for any new house today.
