Timber Frame Construction in South England
Timber frame construction is becoming increasingly popular across the South of England due to its fast build times, excellent energy efficiency, and strong compliance with modern building regulations. From coastal developments along the south coast to rural self-build projects inland, timber frame offers a flexible, sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional masonry construction.
FREDS Timber Frame supplies precision-engineered timber frame systems across South England from our manufacturing facility in South Wales. We support developers, contractors and self-builders with high-quality off-site manufactured solutions designed to improve build speed, reduce on-site disruption and deliver consistent results.
Our systems are suitable for a wide range of projects, including residential housing developments, commercial builds and bespoke self-build homes.

FREDS supplied timber frame solutions for a 29-home residential development in Dover, supporting the delivery of new housing within the local area.
The use of timber frame helped improve construction speed, reduce on-site build time and ensure consistent quality across all units within the scheme.
