PHASE THREE While the planners are considering your application, you may wish to use the drawings your architect has prepared, to gather quotations from potential suppliers such as groundworkers, electrical/plumbing contractors and roofing contractors who can work on your self build house. In addition to the above you may also at this point want to decide what level of involvement you wish to take in the planning of your project. If you have the time to invest you may wish to plan the project yourself or employ a builder to undertake the construction of your new home.

Val-U-Therm is a closed-panel building system that builds on the best aspects of timber frame and structural insulated panel (SIPS) technology. It delivers exceptional thermal performance and class-leading environmental and sustainability credentials. Val-U-Therm Hybrid SIPs provide a winning solution for self-build home projects as they offer a straightforward and cost-effective way to build a timber frame house that is exceptionally cheap to run. It speeds build times, enhances quality and value and allows new builds to achieve the highest environmental specifications in a cost-effective way.

Roof trusses offer a cost effective and convenient construction method for almost every roof shape on your timber frame building. We use powerful CAD & Engineering software to design your roof structure. Using these programs, we can design a complete roof producing a quotation along with, construction drawings and bracing details to ensure that the roof can be erected in the correct manner. We are also able to produce calculations for your Local Authority. Our roof trusses are accurately manufactured under strict control systems, assuring that yours have been engineered and constructed to a high quality and the relevant British Standards.

Timber Frame is the most widely used structural building method in the world. As part of its one-stop shop approach, Flight Timber Structures prides itself on the wide portfolio of products it offers for Timber Frame Buildings. Our recommended approach is to purchase the complete building envelope. Our smart design concept allows the walls, ground floor and roof to all perform in unison. Thus resistance to heat leakage and cold drafts is assured by manufacture under factory quality controlled conditions.

Open web / Metal web joists have many features that simplify construction, assisting your timber frame building project runs smoothly and that deadlines are met, resulting in potential project savings. Typical site errors that occur with other joist system construction, which incur costly remedial work, are eliminated. These benefits reduce the amount of time contractors spend on site, speed up construction, and offer potential savings on your timber frame building. The longer spans that open web joists are able to achieve can often eliminate the need for costly intermediate load bearing walls allowing more spacious living areas to be designed thus reducing the timber frame building's overall costs.
