I know of a development of flats which are not cheap but they've got brick on the outside but I was told they are "wooden framed" and I didn't realize we allowed timber framed buildings in the UK, they look as if they are built from bricks but they aren't apparently. I prefer traditional build for houses I think
There are skill issues generally within construction, due to years of lack of training investment and lack of interest in construction trades as a career generally.I'm guessing that this might be one of the reasons why plastic piping is more popular in newbuilds perhaps because they can get lower rate workers to assemble the central heating as opposed to £200/£300 per day tradesman
You have to officially love one and hate the other
Was it you who had a Segal house?

It's becoming more and more common to build timber framed buildings in the UK. Elsewhere in the world (USA, Canada, Australia), it's by far the most common construction type for low rise buildings. To the uneducated eye it's often nearly impossible to tell the difference between a timber framed building and a traditional masonry one.I know of a development of flats which are not cheap but they've got brick on the outside but I was told they are "wooden framed" and I didn't realize we allowed timber framed buildings in the UK, they look as if they are built from bricks but they aren't apparently.

Rats coming up and down a £300,000 one bedroom flat is not what you'd expect.My friend finally managed to get rid of his £300k one bedroom flat in which the genius who designed it thought it would be a great idea to have an open void behind the kitchen cabinets running from top to bottom of the building. Rats had the time of their life, it was like being in magaluf for them. The colony had spread to all adjacent buildings, all built by the same bodgers.
