Once again it has been widely documented in today’s construction press, that there is a serious shortage of labour for traditional construction methods.
In total, 22% of contractors in an industry survey reported difficulties in finding on-site trades. Bricklayers were the most difficult to find with 70% of these contractors reporting problems. This, along with the extended lead times for traditional materials, can only further extend construction programmes and costs.
A way of combating this, is to move away from on-site and utilise off-site. It is here where Frame Homes can help.
Frame Homes can supply an off-site timber frame solution that does not rely on the availability of external trades or materials as we are completely self-sufficient.
