Timber frame construction is a building method that uses elements that are filled with insulation material and finished with a structural wood panel. The panel is finished with a layer of plasterboard on the inside. The use of the structural wood panel makes the end-product solid and dimensionally stable. The process is fully industrialized. All prefab elements such as the wall, floor and roof elements are manufactured in the state-of-the-art factory at Purmerend, while the foundations are laid on site. This saves a considerable amount of time.

Timber frame construction offers more advantages than just saving time and is perfectly in tune with the Construction division's focus on sustainable construction:

  • use of softwood plantation timber
  • use of materials with minimum environmental impact and optimum insulation properties
  • balanced ventilation for a healthy interior climate
  • no-tie wall construction for optimum sound insulation
  • flexible and adaptable design and construction
  • fast, clean construction as a result of prefabrication and minimum wastage of raw materials
  • optimum integration of pipework for warm-air heating, mechanical ventilation, water, gas and electricity.

Ooms Bouwmaatschappij also combines timber frame construction with traditional construction methods, which optimizes the advantages of the different products and processes.
