timberframe Timber frame vs Brick and block?

[Matt Jones]

Calling all people with past or current experience in timber frame and traditional construction.

 

As part of my degree I am required to research a topic of my choice. My chosen area is; productivity in housebuilding.

I am trying to determine why brick and block cavity wall construction still remains the most dominant method of construction for house builders.

It would be much appreciated if you or anyone with experience in this field could please complete my short questionnaire. Simply click on the link below, it comprises 12 questions and will take less than 3 minutes of your time to answer.

 

I am more than happy to share the results with anyone who would be interested

 

The information you provide will anonymous and will be treated with the strictest confidence.

 

Please pass on or share to anyone who would be able to help.

 

Thanks in advance.

I must have a mental block, or a browser compatability issue.  I have completed the survey but can't find a "done" or "submit" button??????

Sticking away from the pro and con arguements for various construction types, I think the core answer has to be misinformation and misinterpreted economics. If you're brought up your whole life on a farm surrounded only by devout Christians, where the only  word is that of the lord and the only book is the bible, you're fairly unlikely to be a Buddhist.
