Timber frame construction continues to grow rapidly across the UK, offering faster build times, improved energy performance, and a more sustainable approach to modern building.In 2025, the method is seeing increased adoption from developers, builders, and self-builders looking to deliver quality homes more efficiently — and suppliers like TFS, based in North Wales, are helping lead the way.

When planning a new build or an extension, one of the biggest decisions you'll face is the construction method.A common question we hear at TFS is:“Is timber frame construction faster than traditional blockwork?”

Timber frame construction has long been celebrated for its versatility, sustainability, and efficiency, making it one of the best methods of construction today. At its core, timber framing offers a natural and eco-friendly building solution, as wood is a renewable resource that has a lower environmental impact compared to other materials like steel or concrete. Not only does it help reduce carbon emissions, but timber also acts as a natural carbon store, making it an excellent choice for environmentally conscious projects.
