Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Fire Resistance

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Masonry or steel conduct heat more readily resulting in crackingspalling or twisting which can quickly undermine the safety of the entire structure

Fire Resistance

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve frac12 hour or 1 hour retardation

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Fire Resistance

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Masonry or steel conduct heat more readily resulting in crackingspalling or twisting which can quickly undermine the safety of the entire structure

Fire Resistance

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve frac12 hour or 1 hour retardation

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Fire Resistance

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Masonry or steel conduct heat more readily resulting in crackingspalling or twisting which can quickly undermine the safety of the entire structure

Fire Resistance

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve frac12 hour or 1 hour retardation

Page 75: Sustainable construction This module is a follow-on from the Solid Timber Buildings module. It is understood that the reader already has an awareness

External Cladding can be provided in a variety of different finishes

However most clients are looking for sustainability and therefore select Timber Cladding in either Western Red Cedar or Siberian Larch in 22mm

These cladding types do not require preservative treatment and will weather naturally to an attractive silver grey colour and last 60 ndash 80 years plus

As an external cladding it can replaced without internal disruption This also affords ready access to services without disturbing the occupants

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Fire Resistance

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Masonry or steel conduct heat more readily resulting in crackingspalling or twisting which can quickly undermine the safety of the entire structure

Fire Resistance

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve frac12 hour or 1 hour retardation

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

Page 82: Sustainable construction This module is a follow-on from the Solid Timber Buildings module. It is understood that the reader already has an awareness

We can build from a variety of foundations including strip block pillars insulated slab CFA piles screw piles dependant on ground conditions budgets and timescales etc

Foundations most often padpile type are designed at the same time as the building specifying number and position of all load points

Specification Foundations

Screw Piles offer less site disruption better sustainability value (removable and recyclable) precision and speed

Pillar foundations can be more cost ndash effective Image shows them complete and ready for baseframe

True

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Fire Resistance

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Masonry or steel conduct heat more readily resulting in crackingspalling or twisting which can quickly undermine the safety of the entire structure

Fire Resistance

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve frac12 hour or 1 hour retardation

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve frac12 hour or 1 hour retardation

Internal walls can be sprayed during the construction process typically Nullifire and be certified for Class O resistance

Page 102: Sustainable construction This module is a follow-on from the Solid Timber Buildings module. It is understood that the reader already has an awareness

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Fire Resistance

Timber has a slow charring rate of between 15 ndash 25mm per half hour (depending on species) therefore structural integrity remains stable for longer and is more predictable

Masonry or steel conduct heat more readily resulting in crackingspalling or twisting which can quickly undermine the safety of the entire structure

Fire Resistance

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve frac12 hour or 1 hour retardation

Fire Retardant

Both external cladding and internal walling can be further protected from surface spread of flame

External cladding is treated off-site with a pressure impregnation system to achieve frac12 hour or 1 hour retardation

MPL is a method of off-site construction which is fixed together on-site This makes building times more rapid

Removal of wet trades further reduces weather delays and improves construction times further

Eg 120msup2 building completed in just 23 days (complete structural shell)

734msup2 building completed (including all foundations) in just 20 weeks

Construction Time

Construction ProcessHeavy duty baseframe over pile foundation insulated ready to create working floor

Construction ProcessMPL structural shell takes shape with all internal and external walls built at the same time

Construction ProcessMPL is at eaves height so roof timbers are

brought into place Some buildings require crane assistance others can be installed manually

Construction ProcessRoof Make-up in progress breather batten and now insulation

Construction ProcessRoof tiling commences insulation to the exterior of the walls underway

Construction ProcessFactory finished windows amp doors positioned Fire treated larch cladding is cut and fixed to exterior

Construction ProcessScaffold down and window trims in place
