The timber frame homes UK market is set to rise by \u00a370m in 2022, according to the latest report by MTW research<\/h2>\n

Based on data from 80% of the timber frame market, the report found that timber construction is set to rise rapidly in 2022 as housebuilding demand for more timber frame homes – commercial timber frame activity also presents growth.<\/p>\n

The report further forecasts that the timber frame market will rise by more than \u00a3150m by 2026.<\/p>\n

\u00a31 billion timber frame market in future<\/h3>\n

MTW\u2019s director Mark Waddy commented that there is \u201c<\/i>A real possibility of a \u00a31 billion timber frame market in future, with merger and acquisitions more prevalent across the timber frame industry as acquisitive growth increasingly becomes a pre-requisite for profitability growth and fulfilling customer needs\u201d.<\/p>\n

In Scotland timber frame homes already account for around 75% of all new housing, compared to 23% in England.<\/p>\n

Open panel and closed panel timber frames experienced more than a 30% growth in 2021 and 2022 and the SIPS market continues to demonstrate fast-paced innovations, rising by almost 60%.<\/p>\n

Traditional post and beam timber housing is also seeing a revival in the self build housing market as the MTW report reveals it is now outpacing the UK economy.<\/p>\n

Is timber the most sustainable construction material?<\/h3>\n

Timber frame homes feature a whole host of positive environmental credentials such as carbon capture, enhanced quality control, faster build times, reduced on-site costs, waste and labour.<\/p>\n

Richard Allen, former sales director at specialist timber panel manufacturer MEDITE SMARTPLY<\/a>, explains: “When properly managed, timber is arguably the only 100% sustainable construction material<\/a>. A typical timber frame house saves on average four tonnes of CO2 compared with an equivalent masonry house. An important green credential for\u00a0timber products<\/a> is their embodied carbon. As long as wood does not burn or rot, the carbon within it never leaves, so a sustainably built timber frame house can be a significant carbon store.”<\/p>\n

Is timber the solution to the housing crisis?<\/h3>\n

England alone needs up to 345,000 new homes annually. Timber homes can provide a solution to the housing crisis due to their quick build times and cheap costs.<\/p>\n

An independent report commissioned by Rider Levett Bucknall revealed that timber frame was the most cost-effective structural solution<\/a>, offering an overall cost saving of 2.8% and a programme saving of 19.5%.<\/p>\n

As well as this, timber frame homes can be built on average eight weeks faster when compared with traditional construction methods.<\/p>\n

Simon Horn, technical manager England & Wales at Stewart Milne Timber Systems, said: “Across the UK, we have the capacity to produce around 10,000 timber frame homes per year.<\/a> That ability to manufacture offsite means we can build 10 typical blocks of two-storey housing in terraces of three or four units, five weeks earlier than if building with masonry, or other on-site solutions.<\/p>\n

“A further example of construction time benefit would be a typical four-bedroom detached home, which could be erected, wind protected and made watertight in as little as five days.”<\/p>\n
