Novo Timber and
Self Builders

a partnership rooted with the same purpose, making your dream home a reality.

Planning your own home can feel overwhelming — you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

If you’re early in the process or already working with drawings, we’re happy to talk things through and explain how timber frame might fit your project. No pressure, just a helpful conversation.

Whether you just need a timber frame package or would value additional coordination around insulation, airtightness or MVHR, we tailor our support to suit your experience level and project complexity.

Why choose timber frame?

  • Weathertight, faster.

    Factory-made panels go up quickly, getting your structure weather-tight earlier and reducing your exposure to delays caused by wet weather.

  • No alarms, no surprises.

    Our quoting methods are thorough and clear, providing cost certainty for your project. Off-site manufacturing inherently provides programme certainty, allowing you to maintain momentum on site, keeping your programme and costs under control.

  • Performance from the off.

    Timber frame supports low-energy build-ups when insulation and airtightness are planned early, making it easier to achieve the performance you’re aiming for.

  • Sustainable, by nature.

    Our raw materials are natural and ethically sourced, meaning you can be confident that your home is low-carbon.Timber is a renewable, carbon-storing material. Timber frame construction can significantly reduce embodied carbon compared to masonry and supports low-energy build-ups when detailed properly.

How do we support you?

Novo Timber aren’t just a factory supplying your frame. We work as a partner on your project, helping to make the journey from design to erection as straightforward as possible.

You can take a simple timber frame package, or choose additional coordination where it adds value — such as doors and windows, MVHR systems and ventilated façades.

Novo Timber are a partner for successful outcomes, and high performing homes.

  • Clear scope and pricing from the outset.
  • Early design coordination with your architect or designer.
  • Simple technical guidance on build-ups and interfaces.
  • Optional coordination of insulation, airtightness and MVHR
  • Delivery and erection support on site

What we provide

  • High Performance Structure

    At our core are our timber frames - and we think they're the best around. Designed with precision and manufactured with care and attention to detail. We ensure they arrive on site and are fitted first time, protecting your programme and getting on with the job.

  • Coordinated Systems

    From MVHR systems to Doors and Windows - we provide coordinated systems that work in harmony with the timber frame, meaning installation is a breeze, the envelope is protected, and the performance is guaranteed.

  • Service-led approach

    Not everyone is a seasoned self-builder. We aim to make the journey as smooth as possible, offering clear advice, practical guidance and steady support throughout your build - as well as clear communication and singular points of contact along the way.

  • Quality at our core

    We go above and beyond when it comes to quality control - not just inspecting our panels in line with industry standards, but inspecting every single panel for conformity. We ensure every panel that leaves us is worthy of the Novo Timber name.
