Flats

As one of the first companies to extend the design of timber frame construction above 4 storeys, Rushmoor Engineering Services has actively encouraged the development of structural timber as the ideal material for medium rise buildings.

The advantages are clear:-

• Speed of construction
• Reduced cost of construction
• Quality of construction
• Buildability of the frame
• Greater prefabrication off site
• Increased safety during construction
• Reduced building load on foundations
• Reduced need for skilled labour
• Increased overall structural efficiency
• Increased robustness against accidental damage

The TF2000 research project on a full size 6 storey timber frame block of flats demonstrated that timber frame is a robust and efficient method of constructing medium rise buildings.
