As demand for their bespoke timber and SIP frame building systems grows, Benfield ATT’s flexible approach to design and manufacture is finding increasing favour with architects, builders and self-builders. As nationally recognised timber engineers, their innovative ability to deliver solutions for ‘difficult-to-build’ projects, is progressively offering standardised, modular components for designers to ‘plug-in’ to their projects.

Attributing this to his firm’s Value Engineering approach, CEO Professor Dr. K. Michael Benfield asserts that: “While prefabrication is the way to solve many of the UK’s construction issues, taking an elemental approach means this does not have to be boring, or over prescriptive.”

The following are some of the components that can be found on-line, priced using on-line estimators, and ordered for quick delivery.

Traditional Carpentry – Heritage and Modern Style Trusses

Using heavy section timbers to create both indoor and outdoor features can lift an otherwise commonplace building to be a ‘work of wonder and art’. Most in demand are structural and decorative feature trusses in Green Oak, Douglas Fir and Glulam, for new builds, extensions, pool houses and other amenity buildings – for which traditional framing is also available.

Using exactly the same materials as for their bespoke ‘full service’ projects, this modular range is based on a 150mm grid. Manufactured complete with external membranes and battens ready to receive external claddings, designs can be created from standard elements.

Panels, gables, spandrels and dormers are all supplied as ‘flat packs’ for collection or delivery.
