We know that our timber frame kit is more than just structure – it is an essential part of an overall project.
We liaise with architects, engineers, SAP assessors, acousticians, fire engineers, ground workers, scaffolders, roofers, dry liners – OFP TF become part of your team.
You will receive a full design, manufacture and install service, coordinated at all points by a dedicated OFP TF manager. OFP will provide engineering calculations and as built drawings for Building Control submission, external, internal and loadbearing walls as well as formed roof structure. If it’s structural, it’s us!
You will receive line and point loadings first to assist with foundation design, followed by initial design. OFP TF will amend to suit any comments you may have and finalise our design by around week seven. OFP TF will issue a full engineering and design pack all backed up by £5Million Professional Indemnity Insurance.
OFP TF requires only three things to install your timber frame. Leave the rest to us!
- Access for our delivery vehicles
- Erected scaffold for access
- Base to locate crane to lift materials into position
Your OFP Contracts Manager will attend pre-start meeting to discuss all the above, provide a scaffold plan and double check your foundations prior to commencement on-site.
You will receive a detailed programme outlining all delivery days and OFP TF will always commit to a finish date, so you can arrange the follow-on trades and build to speed on-site

No sorry! OFP TF only provide whole frame structures for the new build market.
Very quickly! On average, timber frame is erected three times quicker than a traditional build and we don’t stop for cold or wet weather either!
Please get in touch for an indicative time frame for your project, you’ll be surprised!
No! Timber frame accounts for over 30% of all new builds in the UK now, and market share is growing year on year.
Don’t be. The timber frame industry has long since had in place robust practices for the containment and prevention of fire. Timber frame fires are very rare and any damage can be limited to the area of breakout through fire-stops that border each room and the use of plasterboard, just as in traditionally built properties.
