Experience of Broadaxe Timber Frame?

[Owain1602]

Hello,

 

I visited the Homebuilding Show at the NEC on Sunday, and came across a company called Broadaxe Timber Frame. 

They had on display their Larsen Truss frame system with blown cellulose (very similar to MBC from a distance), also guaranteed airtightness <0.6. They also offered services  beyond the frame (Kore insulated raft) through their parent construction company (think they were called Firth Construction).

 

Interestingly, they are based in Presteigne, Wales which is where Frame Technologies are based. 

 

Was wondering if anyone has come across them?

 

Thanks!

Hm…that’s not a good start, nobody has spoken or used them for their build?

Doesn’t mean they’re no good. Just means you need to do more research! Companies house checks. Google searches. Ask them to visit on-going and previous builds etc. 

 

we used Flight Timber and visited previous builds and were very happy with our build in the end. Didn’t stop them from going under and people losing money though 

 

so no matter who you choose you have to be careful. There are a number of threads on here about the subject.
