Commercial Buildings

Timber frame is commonly associated with housebuilding, however, Target Timber has a long history of supplying timber frame systems for new commercial building projects due to its cost and time efficiency, architectural flexibility, and sustainability credentials.

Over the last decade, the demand for timber frames for constructing commercial buildings has increased exponentially. Speed of construction is one reason for the increase but climate change is a major driver, with the UK government advocating the use of modern methods of construction (MMC) for social housing, public sector buildings, and commercial developments.

Commercial uses of timber frame

Timber frame systems are light in weight and very flexible, making them ideal for any type of building design with up to eight floors, or where the type of land limits deep foundations.

Timber frames can also be used to extend buildings out or to add additional floors to a steel and masonry building. They are also ideal for commercial projects in towns and cities where space is very limited because timber frames can be delivered on to and constructed within the footprint alone.

Timber frame commercial projects

Multi-storey – office blocks, schools, colleges, universities, hospitals, public buildings, hotels, retail centres and sports centres.

Building extensions – multi-floor extensions, ‘sky space’ extensions on top of existing buildings, extensions to listed buildings.

Additional buildings – medical facilities, classrooms, play centres, storage facilities, changing rooms, temporary offices, outbuildings and many more.

Target Timber provides a full timber frame service to commercial property developers including design, structural calculations, drawings, off-site manufacturing, and delivery and erection of timber frames on-site anywhere in the UK.
