Building your own home can be the biggest challenge in anyone life, from the design to the finished product.
Why not consider a home that is both energy efficient, has minimal impact on the environment, and will increase in value in the future.  Timber frame homes have less mass than concrete, are highly insulated, they warm up much more quickly - responding very rapidly to heating and incidental gains, thus saving you money long term, especially with today’s ever increasing fuel costs.  Timber is a natural insulator and with the additional insulation in the timber frame walls its thermally very efficient and damp free.

When your site has been surveyed and your designs reviewed, the work of creating your elevations goes ahead. Throughout this process you will be dealing with experienced professionals who understand the business inside-out. They know the problems and obstructions that can arise will help you to avoid them.  This procedure ensures that the highest standards are maintained both in design and manufacture.

Builders time on site is greatly reduced as the vast part of your building is manufactured in the factory, erection is quick and whole structure can be weatherproof within a week, which allows follow on trades to start earlier than if you were building a concrete house, thus wasting time for completion.
The Minister for the Environment has announced changes in the building regulations from July 2008 to provide for a 40% improvement in energy efficiency and a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions in new dwellings with the aim of achieving a zero carbon standards for new houses in the future.  By choosing timber frame construction you are already meeting these requirements.Timber frame houses far exceed the current requirements of the Irish building regulations.
