Timber‐framed construction

There has been in the last two or three years a considerable growth of interest in the use of timber framed buildings, primarily for housing, and it might be inferred that this form of construction is a new technique. In fact, the method has been in existence in the United Kingdom for approximately 20 years. It was introduced to this country from Canada and Scandinavia, where it is the traditional method of constructing dwellings.
