Stick Build vs Timber Frame Supplier

[Asbestos]

Hi,

 

Just wondering what peoples views are on using a timber frame supplier vs building the frame myself in regards to costs ?

 

I am yet to run the costs on this, but imagine I would be able to frame a 4 bed house more cost effectively than using a timber framed supplier to fabricate the wall sections.

 

Has any hands on self builder run the sums on this ?

I stick built in 2018-2020 and prices are currently a little more expensive.

 

I listed my total costs in the blog entry below.

Stick built is a lot cheaper, if you have the joiner that can do it. Esp for a non standard design. But of course you need design, buying, more time, management, risk.

Build a large shed, then make a jig to enable corner angles to be true, then start nailing up panels.

Be up in no time.
