Moonshine Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 (edited) Is anyone able to give any details of what the cost and percent of the total build costs the total timber framing element (including thermal insulation) of their build was? I've had a quote through which is about 15% of my indicative total build budget expectations. This for two storeys AGL, and does not include a basement element of the construction, nor the roofing. tbh i was expecting the timber framing to be more.

Gone West Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Looking back at what we spent, the TF with insulation and installation came out at 25% of total build cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony C Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Could you include the size of the house (m2) and the cost of Timber frame (£)? I would be very interested to know as my build will start next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell griffiths Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 Are you @Moonshine comparing apples with apples, a 140mm wide stud with some pir in it is very different to a double stud wall with 300mm of insulation installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This equates to about £269m2 Quote a 140mm wide stud with some pir in it is very different to a double stud wall with 300mm of insulation installed. good shout, my quote is for 140mm single studwork only. notably this does not include external render board, plaster board, staircases, roof coverings, fire socks.

Russell griffiths Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 When I started looking at timber frames, the cheapest version was a standard 140mm stud with pir. Very basic in my opinion and can be improved on massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No where near London, but also note this is probably a minimum spec as pointed out by @Russell griffiths Edited December 18, 2019 by Moonshine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
