Timber Frame Homes | Timber Frame House Construction

You are here: Home / Scotframe / Resources / Timber Frame Homes

The thermal efficiency of timber frame is well known, providing homes that are very comfortable and require a lot less energy to heat. Both today and in the future, all buildings must conform to new thermal performance standards and timber is a natural insulator, enhancing the efficiency of the insulation materials.

Also, the inherent dimensional accuracy of our timber frame kits, means that walls are vertical and flat and rooms are square, making decorating and the installation of carpets and fitted furniture less demanding and improving the quality of your finished home.

Timber frame construction allows a very high level of internal design flexibility as internal walls need not be structural load-bearing walls, and the roof space is often useable too.

Lifestyle benefits:

• High levels of thermal performance mean warm, draft free, comfortable accommodation.
• A flexible technology allowing for very speedy construction and ease of future modification.
• Good acoustic properties mean less noise from neighbours.
• An environmentally friendly home with a modern feel.
• Significantly lower space heating energy costs.
• Low cyclic maintenance needs.

Meets and often exceeds all current building regulations.

---

With its origins as far back as the 12th century, timber frame construction now accounts for over 70% of all new housing in advanced countries throughout the world.

Self Builders, Builders, Architects, and specifiers now have an increasing awareness of the potential environmental impact of their projects along with government initiatives and ever changing building regulations aimed at achieving Zero Carbon buildings. The timber frame industry itself believes it can make a significant contribution to sustainable construction for sustainable communities.

At Scotframe we have a strict company policy regarding the purchase of timber to be utilised in the construction of our kits.

---

The Scotframe Code of Practice:

• We actively promote the use of timber products sourced from well managed sustainable sources and communicate this commitment to our customers and consumers.
• We maximise the benefits of timber frame design to reduce raw material waste during manufacture and construction and further enhance the whole-life energy efficiency of residential and commercial developments.
• We participate in the continuing education and research into sustainable construction
• We encourage clients to consider the “cradle to grave” environmental costs of all building materials.
• We bring commercial pressure on our suppliers, where possible, to adopt good environmental supply chain management.

The most environmentally friendly
way to build.

Each element of the building envelope – wall, roof, floor,windows and external doors has a role to play in minimising heat loss. The insulating effect of each of these elements is measured by its U value – the lower the U value, the better its thermal performance.

Valutherm+ wall, floor and roof panels will last for the life of the building – unlike renewables that need to be controlled, require frequent maintenance and, often, wholesale replacement during the lifetime of a property. In contrast, the Valutherm+ system is a Fit and Forget, Fabric First solution.

Building towards greater energy conservation

All new buildings must now reach increasingly higher standards of energy conservation. The Scottish Building Standards and the Approved Documents Part L of the English Building Regulations are driving the reduction of carbon emissions in new buildings. Building in timber frame makes it easy to achieve a high performance building fabric that maximises thermal performance and minimises unwanted air leakage commonly known as draughts.

It should be noted that both the Scottish Building Standards and the Approved Documents Part L of the English Building Regulations are the minimum required to comply, with the regulations being amended on average every three years imposing ever more stringent requirements of energy conservation it makes sense to consider ‘future proofing’ your home by building to a better thermal standard now.

Scottish Building Regulations – Section 6

For nearly fifty years, Scotland has had its own set of Building Regulations. For many years the energy standards in the regulations were set at a modest level, broadly following those that existed in the remainder of the UK. As we moved into the 21st century and the climate change agenda gathered momentum, the energy standards now incorporate the best levels of thermal insulation in the UK, reflecting Scotland’s colder climate.

The standards introduced at the start of October 2015 reduce the CO² emissions from new buildings by a further 21.4% from the 2010 Regulations. These standards are comparable with the best in Europe. All things being equal, the new Scottish Building Regulations will reduce CO² emissions from new buildings by around 45% when compared to the 2007 standards.

English Building Regulations – Part L

There is also a greater emphasis on ensuring that the building construction meets the standards assumed at the design stage and that the heating and hot water systems are correctly commissioned.

The energy efficiency standards in Approved Document Part L were further strengthened in the 2010 amendments, requiring a 25% decrease in target CO² emissions and lower levels of un-wanted airleakage, the high thermal performance provided by using timber frame in the building fabric makes the new targets easily achievable.

Thermal performance

Timber frame has the advantage over masonry construction as the insulation is incorporated within the timber frame panels as opposed to being fitted in the area that was traditionally the cavity in masonry construction, this results in the timber frame construction achieving a higher level of thermal performance in a ‘thinner’ wall thereby negating the need for increased foundation and under building costs as is the case with masonry construction.

Apartments in residential complex “Scotland”

low-rise project

40

Courtyard closed to traffic

61

Residential complex “Scotland” is a project of the developer Navis Development Group (formerly – “Navis”). The residential complex “Scotland” is located near St. Petersburg in the Vsevolozhsk district of the Leningrad region at the address: Agalatovskoye rural settlement, the village of Skotnoye, in close proximity to the Priozerskoye highway.

The first stage consists of six aerated concrete houses with insulation, lined with bricks. Each house is provided with its own gas boiler. In the second stage, 11 more buildings will be built on 2 sites. The height of the residential complex is 3 floors. According to the project, the territory of the residential complex is fully landscaped: the courtyard is landscaped, equipped with modern playgrounds and recreation areas. The territory of the residential complex “Scotland” is closed from traffic, there is video surveillance. The project is notable for its landscape design: the complex is located on a hilly area, characteristic of the nature of Scotland. The entrance group is adapted for families with children, as well as for people with limited mobility – a porch at ground level, which facilitates the arrival of strollers. There is no elevator in the front doors. The number of apartments on the floor of the section – from 3 to 6 pcs. Houses are being built using block technology.

As of January 2019, the developer is going through pre-bankruptcy procedures. The facility is 95% ready, but the problems with the treatment facilities have not yet been resolved. The developer promised to put the residential complex into operation in the 2nd quarter of 2019.

The deadline for July 2019 was again violated, the administration is negotiating with potential investors, but so far to no avail. Estimated commissioning dates are unknown.

At the beginning of August 2019, it became known about the plans to complete the residential complex with the help of co-financing from the regional budget and the budget of the Fund for the Protection of the Rights of Shareholders. Construction work should be resumed by the end of October 2019of the year. exact implementation dates will be announced later.

Infrastructure and transport accessibility

The infrastructure of the village Skotnoye is poorly developed. In Vartemyaga there is a kindergarten and a clinic (3 km from the residential complex). Other social facilities infrastructure – in St. Petersburg. It is about 11 km to the ring road interchange. At the entrance to the city there is a shopping center “MEGA-Parnas” with clothing and equipment stores, a skating rink and a cinema, restaurants and hypermarkets “Auchan”, “IKEA” and “OBI”. The nearest metro station Parnas is 15 km away. Developed public transport network.

Proximity of forests and lakes

thirty

Proximity to transport interchange

10

The residential complex “Scotland” is located in the Vsevolozhsk district near the picturesque Kavgolovsky lakes. From the northern part of the new building – a forest. The proximity of the road junction spoils the impression. The environmental situation as a whole can be described as favorable.

Prices and layouts in the residential complex “Scotland”

The Scotland comfort class project has good layouts and prices. The first stage includes studios, one- and two-room apartments, as well as “evrodvushki” (one-room apartments with a spacious kitchen-living room). The total number of apartments in the residential complex is 290, including 124 studios, 108 one-room apartments and 58 two-room apartments.

The area of ​​apartments in the residential complex “Scotland” starts from 26.6 “squares”. A distinctive feature of the studios is the presence of two windows. The bathroom is designed in such a way that a bath can easily fit into it. Apartments on the first floors will have access to their own terrace/front garden. The largest apartment in the project is a two-room apartment with an area of ​​47 sq.m. There are “vest apartments” with windows on two sides of the house.

In the second stage, apartments from 1 to 4 rooms are presented, there are also European layouts. Also presented are unique apartments with terraces, a garden, a window in the bathroom and duplex.

Finishing

Apartments in the first stage of the Scottish residential complex are transferred to buyers with pre-finishing, that is, prepared for repair, it includes:

• Alignment of all surfaces (walls, ceiling, floor)
• Installation of double glazing
• Installation of water and electricity meters
• Installation of electric towel warmer
• Electrical wiring, installation of sockets and switches
• Plumbing risers

In some sections it is possible to order a fine finish for a fee.

Parking

Underground parking not provided

00

The plan for the construction of the residential complex does not provide for the construction of a parking lot. The car can be parked in the local area.

Our opinion

Experienced builder Navis Development Group is building the residential complex “Scotland” to the north of St.
