Our application of national 'Robust Standard Details', Super-Airtight style, airtight Timber Frame buildings, and general Eco-Friendly methods of construction are of particular interest to housebuilders, housing associations and local authorities in education (for Timber Frame schools) and health (for hospitals and care homes), but are just as relevant to set national standards in any design project.

Our 'Green Dream Homes' brand provides a menu of specially selected environmentally friendly components that are compatible with our FSC timber frames and other FSC timber manufactured items - like FSC floor joists, claddings, and windows - and incorporate green home technology - like timberframe home insulation - to ensure high energy saving timber-homes.

(Note: Benfield ATT is the first timber frame manufacturer in the UK able to supply FSC Certificates with its timber frames and components)

These well-insulated timber houses and energy efficient timber-homes are classed as 'eco-homes'. Using the best of both worlds, these FSC Certified Timber Frame buildings are prefabricated using Off-Site Production (OSP) and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) standards, drastically reducing our timber-frame prices and delivery times.

Timber Frame Manufacturers

From our privately-owned timber frame factory, Benfield ATT's multi-skilled timber frame craftsmen have been building TimberFrame Kit houses and Timber-Frame Kit Components (such as FSC roof trusses, Welsh Timberframe Structures, timber-frame panels, timber wall panels, attic trusses, spandrel panels and cassette floor systems) for all types of timber-frame building. This ensures fast timber-frame delivery and a quick-build of the timber-frame. Our in-house timber-frame training courses ensure a workforce knowledgeable in all timber frame components.

Advanced Timberframe Technology

Experience, as respected timber frame research partners and timber engineers in England, has taught us that when designing timberframe buildings and Timber Kit Homes, international markets typically have a lot of experience to share. As such, Benfield ATT can provide similar specifications to Canadian Super-Airtight Homes, Timber Frame Canadian Homes, Scandia Houses and Scandinavian Timber-Frame Houses. Our ongoing research enables us to use timber composites such as glulams (glue laminated timber / laminated glued timbers) and other technologies such as Post and Beam house packages, Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), timber web joists, airtight timber frame buildings (Canadian Super Air-Tight) to build speedy timber-frame log cabins, wooden houses, timber cabins, wooden cabins and self erection homes to the highest standards. We use durable timbers, timber-frame treatments and/or treated timber...and always include timber-frame robust details to achieve almost any timber frame U values (typically 0.27 u-value for timber-frame homes, but challenge us to achieve even better - down to 0.08 u-value!).
