Statistics covering the performance of the timber frame industry in
the UK have been released for the first time.
The UK Timber Frame Association's (UKTFA) state of the industry statistics for 2001 reveal: a 24.5% increase in industry turnover to £306m (£246m); a rise of 21.4% in the number of units manufactured to 29,272 (24,115); and a 2% increase of UK market share for timber frame houses to 14%.
"The message that timber frame construction offers sound economic, environmental and lifestyle advantages is clearly being accepted by both the construction industry and the public, with one in seven new houses now being built in modern timber frame," said UKTFA chief executive Bryan Woodley.
English timber frame starts represented 6.8% of all new housing starts in the UK, while Scottish timber frame starts accounted for 6.3%.
