STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS


Offsite manufacture for self build A


ny structural method created in a factory away from the building site comes under the bracket of


offsite manufacture. Offsite manufacture is a broad term covering a number of options, namely, timber frame, SIPs (structural insulated panel systems) and oak frame, all benefiting from enhanced energy efficiency, short construction timescales and guaranteed build quality. Along with vastly reduced running costs, it is clear that there are compelling reasons to specify these systems for your self-build project.


SPEED OF CONSTRUCTION The high degree of factory prefabrication enables a rapid build process, not adersely inuenced by inclement weather.


BUILD COST AND PROGRAMME CERTAINTY Offsite construction for onsite installation makes scheduling and costing more predictable.

SUSTAINABILITY All Structural Timber Association members use timber from PEFC or FSC certified sources, ensuring responsible management of the world’s forests.


QUALITY ASSURANCE


Stringent factory quality control ensures the precision manufacture of the structural elements, making sure you get a modern, high-performance structural envelope for your scheme.


ENERGY USAGE Offsite construction offers thermally efficient, highly airtight structures which can vastly reduce energy consumption during the life of the building.


DESIGN FLEXIBILITY Offer a wide range of innovative products


THE STRUCTURAL TIMBER ASSOCIATION As has been demonstrated, offsite manufactured structural timber systems have advanced greatly in recent years, offering genuine cost, programme, and performance assurance for self builders and especially when backed the STA’s Quality Assurance Scheme – STA Assure.


By using an STA member to deliver your self-build project you will be assured that they meet or even exceed current standards and regulatory requirements.
