Why Ecoframes?
Ecoframes is committed to environmentally considerate construction, our aim is to raise awareness not only to the direct effect on the environment (visual, transport, infrastructure, etc), but also by logical extension to the indirect effects such as the cost of transport of materials, ‘embodied’ energy cost, and eventual recyclability.
Having a vast range of experience in the timber frame industry, we obviously keep a ‘keen eye’ on cost, and hope to steer a ‘middle course’ between the ideal and practical.
Timber frame is now recognised as the most sustainable method in modern residential construction, making it the ideal structure for your perfect home.
Buildings with internal timber frame structures have particular advantages, including:
- quicker, less expensive and highly-accurate construction.
- speedier occupation of your dream home.
- greater thermal efficiency which reduces energy use and increases your comfort levels.
- outstanding levels of sound-proofing and better internal acoustics.
- less environmental impact through greater use of our locally sourced materials.
- dimensional accuracy of all rooms – ideal for flooring and furnishing
- lower running costs
Possibly more important, a self-build home from Ecoframes has the total flexibility to be designed around your own particular needs. For instance, you may love entertaining, so a large kitchen and dining room may be a key aspect of your dream home, or perhaps you’re planning to expand your family therefore additional bedrooms are your primary requirement. Alternatively, you may work from home and need suitable office space. Or, perhaps you’d love a spacious balcony to relax and watch the sunset on a warm summer evening.
Whatever the vision of your dream home is Ecoframes can help you turn it into reality. In many instances, you could even be living in your fabulous new home within months.
Furthermore, because it’s your dream home, it’s likely that you’ll want to stay in it forever. That’s why Ecoframes’ homes are adaptable to any future changes in your lifestyle.
