Timber-frame homes are on the rise. One of the major benefits is that building a wooden house allows you to work with prefabricated elements. As a contractor or timber-frame builder, this saves you a great deal of time and money. Especially when you work with a reliable partner like Carpentier, who can support you right from the design stage through our own purpose-built app that architects appreciate too.
Timber-frame construction is increasingly used in the building sector. Many contractors and architects recognise its benefits, both for themselves and for the end client. This dry and highly precise construction method is versatile: from renovating an existing home, to a new-build house, to erecting a commercial building. The Swedish developer Atrium Ljungberg even has plans to build the world's largest wooden city in the south of Stockholm.
Carpentier produces the load-bearing structure (walls, upper floors and roof) entirely made to measure in our own workshop and delivers the kit with clear instructions to the site. In addition, we hold a large stock of various timber-frame products in-house: LVL beams, I-joists and GL beams.
Timber construction may be a good deal faster than traditional building, but you need a reliable partner to meet the projected completion deadline. Carpentier supports you from A to Z, which makes us a solid partner.
You can turn to us right from the moment the plans for the new timber-frame home are being drawn up. Our app assists you in creating those plans and immediately provides a price calculation.
From the app, the finished plan can be sent to the timber-frame line in the workshop of our family business, where we produce all prefab elements to measure, entirely in-house. We also deliver the kit to the site.
We can even go further and deliver the load-bearing structure of timber homes ready to use, complete with insulation, conduits for electricity, timber cladding, and more. Discover all the options and finishing possibilities.
We probably don't need to tell you again, but wood as a building material offers numerous benefits for every builder.
Because timber construction is a dry building method, you save thousands of litres of water for masonry and plastering work. What's more, there are no additional heating costs to dry out the building.
Furthermore, with timber-frame construction you can go for a zero-waste site. All the preparation takes place offsite, which makes cutting, drilling and grinding unnecessary. Besides less construction waste, less transport is also needed. This in turn results in lower emissions. So for anyone who wants to build in an environmentally conscious way, timber-frame construction is an excellent option!
With a kit for a wooden prefab home from Carpentier, you achieve incredible time savings from design to completion, and you don't need to invest in machinery yourself. This saves you considerable costs while still allowing you to deliver a quality product, like the project below that we completed in Aalter. This home is built entirely using timber-frame construction and incorporates the most modern techniques.
