Ben Fordham of Benton Homes said: “Kestrel Timber Frame was able to
deliver a quality product within our set time constraints – the
ability to deliver on time was a key factor in the decision making
process.
“Being
able to get properties completed and on the market as quickly as
possible without losing quality is vital in today’s market. Building
using timber frames saves time compared with other, more traditional
building methods and using Kestrel Timber Frame allowed us to save
even more time.”
Kestrel
designs the frames based on building drawings supplied by its
customers. They are then manufactured by Kestrel in its factory at
Market Deeping before its highly experienced teams deliver the
frames to site and swiftly erect them. This makes it possible for
builders to construct complete homes in a fraction of the time
required by conventional construction techniques.
Paul Adams
of Kestrel said: “We were delighted that Benton Homes selected
Kestrel Timber Frame. Reducing the time it takes to complete a
building project is always important for property developers and
working with timber frames is becoming an increasingly popular way
of building more quickly at very high standards of quality.
“At
Kestrel, our purpose-built factory allows us to produce high quality
timber frames and our dedicated staff keep turn-around times to a
minimum both in the factory and on building sites.”
As well as
speed of construction, timber frames offer other advantages. For
example, the foundations needed for timber frame buildings are often
less extensive – and less expensive – than those required for
buildings built entirely with traditional bricks and blocks. Timber
frames also make it easier to meet the increasingly strict legal
requirements for energy efficiency in buildings – a benefit not just
for the builder but also for the people who subsequently occupy the
property.
Building
using timber frames is more environmentally friendly than using more
traditional methods. All of Kestrel’s timber is obtained from
guaranteed sustainable forest sources, adding to the environmental
benefits of this method of construction.
