New Builds

Homes come in all shapes and sizes and are built in a variety of ways. Two of the most common forms of construction for new homes are explained below. Many other forms of modern construction are available for new homes.

Masonry cavity construction

An inner leaf of blocks to support the roof and floors, and an outer wall of bricks (or blocks finished with cladding or render)

Timber frame construction

An internal load-bearing frame of preservative-treated timber and an outer leaf of bricks. Alternatively the timber frame may be clad externally with boarding or tile hanging.
