Benefits of Timber Frame
â—† Save Time: Construction phase and drying out times greatly reduced due to off-site prefabrication and the elimination of wet trades.
â—† Save Energy: Prevents energy loss due to thermal bridging.
â—† Feel More Comfortable: Less air changes per hour means a more consistent temperature and as a result greater comfort.
Benefits of Stick Build
â—† Save Money: Building on-site saves money on factory construction and transportation costs.
â—† Get More Flexibility: If you still aren't 100% sure about your choices for your home, changes can be made.

Above all applications in a low enery house or passive home air tightness is the main factor to retaining the thermal heat with in the dwelling structure . we achieve on a test of air tightness of 0.60 air changes per hour under a test of 50 Pascals .
With good planning and consulation with a structural engineer an insulated foundation can be installed in all condition of ground . This system is the perfect soulation to eliminate cold thermal bridgeing from earth to house .
