Off-Site and Modern Methods of Timber Construction

Off-Site and Modern Methods of Timber Construction
By:Robert Hairstans
Published on 2010 by

Many prefer the versatility of timber frame for panelised, volumetric and hybrid 'builtoffsite' systems. Other suitable formats include timber post and beam, and 'massive' construction using cross-laminated and structural insulated panel systems. The common thread making all these systems more efficient - and therefore more sustainable - is moving the bulk of the construction processes into well managed, factory conditions and performing the minimum installation work on site. Following a history of timber and off-site construction around the world, the author examines production concepts that improve the efficiency of timber construction. He explains key things to consider when designing buildings intended to be built off-site and reviews the many engineered timber products that facilitate a modern approach to timber construction. The book also shows how timber meets emerging design standards such as Passivhaus.
