Timber frame construction has had good success penetrating a number
of commercial sectors, e.g. motels, student accommodation, pubs, schools, etc. The market
share for timber frame is currently increasing with much growth centered on London and the
South East.
A major six storey timber frame development is underway in Central
London. As the new project team has progressed through the various stages of concept,
design, engineering, manufacture and erection a number of lessons have been learnt. These
need to be captured for the benefit of the project teams and future teams before, as will
inevitably happen, the team disperses and memories fade. Achieving this is the principal
objective of this project.
