BESPOKE FOR YOU
Timber Frame for Self-Builders
At Ty Eco, we make building your timber frame home straightforward and stress-free. Whether you're an experienced self-builder or tackling your first project, we're here to guide you every step of the way. Our team provides all the information you need to confidently plan and specify your timber frame structure. If you have questions, we’re ready with quick, clear answers.
We believe in early collaboration to get every detail right from the start. Our in-house design team can turn your initial plans into 3D CAD models, tailored to your vision, and work with your architect or contractor to optimize the design.
Our Adra PØ timber frame system is designed for ease of assembly, minimizing on-site errors and reducing snagging. With our Passive House-trained installers, you can trust your home will meet the highest standards of sustainability and performance. At Ty Eco, we’re committed to helping you build an eco-friendly, high-performance home that lasts.
Let's get Technical
Good construction lives and dies on the quality of the technical information & design details, get those wrong and it can result in hours of re-work or worse, a failure to meet the appropriate regulations. This is particularly true for the Passive House, BREEAM or AECB building standards.
All the information you need is on our Technical Resources pages, from our design details to the materials that they’re made from.
Why Specify Tŷ Eco MMC?
We offer more than just high-quality timber frame panels—we provide a partnership built on decades of expertise. As a family business, part of a construction group established in 1948, we bring generations of knowledge and innovation to every project. While we can supply a standard 140mm stud panel, we are proud to specialize in our Adra PØ building system, specifically designed for Passive House and high-performance housing. This system allows for faster, more cost-effective, and sustainable builds.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We’ve meticulously engineered our system to be as carbon-neutral and eco-friendly as possible, making us the ideal choice for Architects looking to deliver high-performance, environmentally responsible projects for their Clients.
We go the extra mile to make your job easier. Our team is here to support you throughout the construction process, ensuring seamless collaboration and 100% customer satisfaction. With Tŷ Eco, you’ll have a reliable partner you can trust.
On Time & On Budget
The reason many large housebuilders are moving away from traditional and building with timber frame is that it’s fast and the costs more controllable. The same applies to any other building project, regardless of the size, quantity or complexity.
With Timber Frame (particularly our Adra PØ system), you can go from slab to a complete structure that is weather tight, airtight and secure – ready for first fix – in a matter of days. Obviously some of this depends on the size of the structure and the specification you opt for – but you know how long it will take and how much it will cost well in advance.
Whilst the costs of bricks, block steel and PIR fluctuate greatly, the price of wood is relatively stable. What you agree to pay at the beginning of the job will be what you pay at the end.
At Tŷ Eco – being builders ourselves – we understand how important all of this; our quotes cover every part of the build, without any tricky exceptions and we will always do our best to absorb the cost of any last-minute ‘variations’ where possible.
