Why Timber Frame is the number one choice for developers
It’s clear to demonstrate that one of the many reasons developers choose TIMBER FRAME is down to the ease of delivery and speed of completion. Timber Frame can be easily transported and allow QTF Services to reach all locations throughout the UK, Ireland and Jersey.
QTF Services continue to educate self-builders about the incredible benefits building with Timber Frame can have. Director Raymond Moan comments, “We aim to help people wake up to the elaborate costs of building with block and bricks. Subsequently, the design of the home’s built with blocks become out of date very quickly. Timber Frame allows the homeowner to be creative, due to its flexibility in terms of shaping”.
