Isover or Knauf insulations slabs are supplied as part of the  house kit ( depending on level chosen).  

The insulation for our house & extension kits consist of 2 layers of 100mm for all external walls.  

Panel Vent board 9.2mm thick is supplied for the structural sheathing for the frame but also increases the insulation levels as well.  With this type of construction and level of insulation you can achieve high SAP ratings and low band energy efficiency.

Frame Assembly

The frame construction is very basic.  By just following the wall plan and finding the corresponding stud with the code number and then slotting the joints together.

Where post and beam are used fixings will be supplied for fitting into the pre-drilled locations.  The intermediate floor joists are also jointed and slot into the wall plates.  Rafters are pre cut and drilled ready for slotting into place and fixing

 Once the architect drawings are complete and you are ready to proceed with the timber frame package, your drawings will be transfered to the computer and you will receive plans showing the sole plate layout with dimensions to enable the foundations to be built.
Wall plans show coded studs, roof and intermediate floor joists and locations.  The 3D plan enables you to see the final timber frame building.
The drawings will be sent before the timber frame arrives which allows you to familiarise yourself with the construction
