Preece Construction uses various materials to build new homes.
To help you choose the material that is right for you, here are some of the benefits of building with timber.
- Timber is a sustainable product and is grown in purpose build plantations in WA’s South West. While the timber is growing, it reduces greenhouse gas emissions by removing carbon dioxide from the air and replacing it with oxygen.
- Pine grows quickly, so there is always a ready supply of timber.
- Timber is durable and treated against termites and European Borers so it is strong and long lasting.
- Timber is one of the most flexible products, allowing a wide range of designs for flat and sloping sites.
- Construction times are generally quicker than other building products so you can enjoy your new home sooner.
- Building the frame from timber allows more space between the external and internal walls for insulation. Your home will be warmer in winter and cooler in summer so your heating and cooling costs may be less.
- During the manufacturing process, the timber is dried and sealed, so there is less movement in the frame after your home has been built. Maintenance costs may be less due to less cracks in walls and ceilings.
- All timber is mechanically graded and tested to maintain the same standard for strength and durability.
- Timber cladding is flexible, stylish and adaptable to virtually any design. It can also provide a low maintenance exterior finish if suitably treated.
- Timber is the ultimate renewal product.
During the home’s construction, wood framework can be totally hidden in the floor, wall and roof design, or can be visible as a design feature.
The flexibility of timber means your home can have the unique qualities in the design that may be difficult to achieve with other building products.
