Self Build

Building a house can one of the most stressful things that someone can go through in their life, but it is also one of the most rewarding as you end up with the home of your dreams. We here at MTF Homes aim to make this process as smooth and stress free as possible for the client and ourselves.

We work within our budget and deliver projects inside the specified timeframe. We also offer additional support after we have finished our part to help ease the stress of building a house.

With our decades of experience – you can be assured that we know what we are talking about and you can trust the information that we provide. We have in depth knowledge of a build from start to finish – meaning should at any stage of the build, you feel lost or confused – we are more than happy to help out in any way we can.

Project Management

Once a contract has been agreed with MTF Homes, we will assign a contract manager who will advise on all aspects of your build and will also develop a bespoke management template for your build to help ensure your project is on time and on budget.

Design

The architect’s drawings supplied to us will be forwarded onto an independent structural engineer to design all of the structural elements of your Timber Frame home.  When this is complete, they will furnish us with a complete structural report, with this report our design team will reproduce the architectural plans to incorporate all engineers’ structural elements to suit our Timber Frame system.

Once plans have been reproduced, MTF Homes will forward a copy to yourself to sign off on.  At this stage we will issue a base plan for installation of the sub-structure.

It is key that the sub-structure accurately matches the base plans supplied.

Manufacture

Once all plans have been revised and signed off, MTF Homes will begin the manufacturing process.  Firstly, our design team will generate production drawings and cutting list which will outline a complete list of products required ensuring these are in place ready for panel manufacturing slot.  Also, at this stage the engineers structural report will outline what steel is required so it can be ordered and ready for delivery with the kit, as with roof trusses if specified.

As all elements of manufacturing are in a controlled environment the highest level of accuracy and quality is achieved.

Only once all elements of your house are inspected by our quality control team, will it be allowed to go to site.

Onsite

Before the kit arrives, the site will be inspected by our installation manager, not only to ensure that the base is correct but that scaffolding is in place and there is adequate room for lorries and crane to work, also a site health and safety risk assessment survey will be carried out.  Once everything is in place, the kit will arrive onsite and be installed by our qualified erecting team.  The structure is generally completed in 4-7 days which will allow roofers, block layers and M&E contractors to move on site to complete first fix.  At this stage our quality control manager will inspect all aspects of the erected structure to ensure it complies with our structure erection guidelines and that it complies with all regulations before handing over to the client / contractor.
