Timber is now central to sustainable architecture, and those who understand its potential will lead the way. With regulations evolving and new performance expectations emerging, this is the right moment for architects to design confidently with structural timber.

Timber helps meet Future Homes Standard targets and supports offsite construction, while delivering speed, adaptability and the lowest carbon footprint of any mainstream material. However, achieving the right performance and navigating compliance requirements can be complex.

That’s why we provide expert support at no cost, helping you design with confidence from the outset.

How we support your practice:
➤ Technical design support, including full timber frame build-ups and specification guidance
➤ Bespoke panel design and manufacture to meet targeted thermal and performance outcomes
➤ Specialist advice across regulatory requirements, including fire safety and acoustic performance
➤ Integrated design, fabrication and site coordination
➤ Value engineering to improve programme, cost and material efficiency
➤ Quality assurance throughout design, manufacture and installation

With more than 50 years of experience, our team designs and manufactures STA pattern tested timber frame kits, joists and trussed rafters at our Hampshire facility.

We offer free technical consultancy and CPD sessions to help architects design confidently with timber from concept to construction.

Timber frame continues to gain traction across the UK housing sector because it solves several challenges at once:

✔ Faster delivery for time-sensitive schemes
✔ Predictable programme sequencing
✔ Strong fabric-first performance
✔ Lower embodied carbon
✔ Better cost control through off-site manufacture

As a result, timber frame is increasingly the preferred approach for delivering high-quality, energy-efficient homes at scale.

If you’re planning a new build housing development in 2026, we’d be happy to support early-stage design and specification.

Merronbrook’s design and technical support help developers tackle compliance with ease.

Whether you're looking to meet Part L requirements or deliver a Passivhaus property, timber frame can help you meet and exceed your energy performance goals.

Thermal bridging is one example of where Merronbrook’s precision engineering helps clients achieve compliance efficiently and add long-term value:
➡️Merronbrook supports clients with both U-values and psi-values, ensuring individual elements and junctions perform together to meet energy standards efficiently
➡️We provide independently tested psi-values, avoiding default, conservative assumptions that inflate costs.
➡️Our detailing delivers high fabric efficiency, reducing the need for compensating measures elsewhere.
➡️We work directly with your energy assessor and supply evidence-ready data, including geo-tagged photos, to streamline approval.

Meeting today’s energy standards is mandatory – preparing for tomorrow is strategic.

Part L already sets out clear energy performance requirements for both new construction and renovations. The Future Homes Standard (FHS) will soon add another layer of regulation, with a stronger focus on embodied carbon and whole-life performance.

While these changes are still moving through consultation, it is clear that architects and developers will need to address today’s Part L requirements while also preparing for what’s next.

Working with experienced timber frame partners is one of the most effective ways to achieve both aims. Timber offers precision, energy efficiency and carbon performance that align with current standards, while also providing a clear pathway to future compliance.

Our recent guide explains why timber frame is ideally positioned to meet these requirements: https://www.merronbrook.co.uk/news/guide-to-embodied-carbon-and-timber
